KUNLPLab: sentiment analysis on twitter data

Abstract

This paper presents the system submitted by KUNLPLab for SemEval-2014 Task9 - Subtask B: Message Polarity on Twitter data. Lexicon features and bag-of-words features are mainly used to represent the datasets. We trained a logistic regression classifier and got an accuracy of 6% increase from the baseline feature representation. The effect of pre-processing on the classifier’s accuracy is also discussed in this work. © 8th International Workshop on Semantic Evaluation, SemEval 2014 - co-located with the 25th International Conference on Computational Linguistics, COLING 2014, Proceedings.
