Abstract

With the rapid development of social media services such as Twitter, Sina Weibo and so forth, short texts are becoming more and more prevalent. However, inferring topics from short texts is always full of challenges for many content analysis tasks because of the sparsity of word co-occurrence patterns in short texts. In this paper, we propose a classification model named sentimental biterm topic model (SBTM), which is applied to sentiment classification over short texts. To alleviate the problem of sparsity in short texts, the similarity between words and documents are firstly estimated by singular value decomposition. Then, the most similar words are added to each short document in the corpus. Extensive evaluations on sentiment detection of short text validate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
