Opinion Classification Techniques Applied to a Spanish Corpus

摘要

Sentiment analysis is a new challenging task related to Text Mining and Natural Language Processing. Although there are some current works, most of them only focus on English texts. Web pages, information and opinions on the Internet are increasing every day, and English is not the only language used to write them. Other languages like Spanish are increasingly present so we have carried out some experiments over a Spanish film reviews corpus. In this paper we present several experiments using five classification algorithms (SVM, Nave Bayes, BBR, KNN, C4.5). The results obtained are very promising and encourage us to continue investigating in this line.
