Application of Support Vector Machine (SVM) in the Sentiment Analysis of Twitter DataSet

摘要

At present, in the mainstream sentiment analysis methods represented by the Support Vector Machine, the vocabulary and the latent semantic information involved in the text are not well considered, and sentiment analysis of text is dependent overly on the statistics of sentiment words. Thus, a Fisher kernel function based on Probabilistic Latent Semantic Analysis is proposed in this paper for sentiment analysis by Support Vector Machine. The Fisher kernel function based on the model is derived from the Probabilistic Latent Semantic Analysis model. By means of this method, latent semantic information involving the probability characteristics can be used as the classification characteristics, along with the improvement of the effect of classification for support vector machine, and the problem of ignoring the latent semantic characteristics in text sentiment analysis can be addressed. The results show that the effect of the method proposed in this paper, compared with the comparison method, is obviously improved.
