Abstract
Sentiment analysis is a machine learning approach in which machines analyze and classify the human’s sentiments, emotions,
opinions etc about some topic which are expressed in the form of either text or speech. The textual data available in the web is
increasing day by day. In order to enhance the sales of a product and to improve the customer satisfaction, most of the on-line
shopping sites provide the opportunity to customers to write reviews about products. These reviews are large in number and to
mine the overall sentiment or opinion polarity from all of them, sentiment analysis can be used. Manual analysis of such large
number of reviews is practically impossible. Therefore automated approach of a machine has significant role in solving this hard
problem. The major challenge of the area of Sentiment analysis and Opinion mining lies in identifying the emotions expressed in
these texts. This literature survey is done to study the sentiment analysis problem in-depth and to familiarize with other works
done on the subject.

1. INTRODUCTION
Sentiment analysis and opinion mining are subfields of
machine learning. They are very important in the current
scenario because, lots of user opinionated texts are available
in the web now. This is a hard problem to be solved because
natural language is highly unstructured in nature. The
interpretation of the meaning of a particular sentence by a
machine is tiresome. But the usefulness of the sentiment
analysis is increasing day by day. Machines must be made
reliable and efficient in its ability to interpret and understand
human emotions and feelings. Sentiment analysis and
opinion mining are approaches to implement the same.
The sentiment analysis problem can be solved to a
satisfactory level by manual training. But a fully automated
system for sentiment analysis which needs no manual
intervention has not been introduced yet. This is mainly
because of the challenges in this field. This paper aims at a
literature survey on the problem of sentiment analysis and
opinion mining. Many relevant studies have emerged in this
field and this paper is a peep into some of them.
2. DIFFERENT LEVELS OF SENTIMENT
ANALYSIS
2.1. Document level sentiment analysis
The basic information unit is a single document of
opinionated text. In this document level classification, a
single review about a single topic is considered. But in the
case of forums or blogs, comparative sentences may appear.
Customers may compare one product with another that has
similar characteristics and hence document level analysis is
not desirable in forums and blogs. The challenge in the
document level classification is that all the sentence in a
document may not be relevant in expressing the opinion
about an entity. Therefore subjectivity/objectivity
classification is very important in this type of classification.
The irrelevant sentences must be eliminated from the
processing works.
Both supervised and unsupervised learning methods can be
used for the document level classification. Any supervised
learning algorithm like naïve Bayesian, Support Vector
Machine, can be used to train the system. For training and
testing data, the reviewer rating (in the form of 1-5 stars),
can be used. The features that can be used for the machine
learning are term frequency, adjectives from Part of speech
tagging, Opinion words and phrases, negations,
dependencies etc. Labeling the polarities of the document
manually is time consuming and hence the user rating
available can be made use of. The unsupervised learning can
be done by extracting the opinion words inside a document.
The point-wise mutual information can be made use of to
find the semantics of the extracted words. Thus the
document level sentiment classification has its own
advantages and disadvantages. Advantage is that we get an
overall polarity of opinion text about a particular entity from
a document. Disadvantage is that the different emotions
about different features of an entity could not be extracted
separately.
2.2. Sentence level sentiment analysis
In the sentence level sentiment analysis, the polarity of each
sentence is calculated. The same document level
classification methods can be applied to the sentence level
classification problem. Objective and subjective sentences
must be found out. The subjective sentences contain opinion
words which help in determining the sentiment about the
entity. After which the polarity classification is done into
positive and negative classes. In case of simple sentences, a

_______________________________________________________________________________________
single sentence bears a single opinion about an entity. But
there will be complex sentences also in the opinionated text.
In such cases, sentence level sentiment classification is not
desirable. Knowing that a sentence is positive or negative is
of lesser use than knowing the polarity of a particular
feature of a product. The advantage of sentence level
analysis lies in the subjectivity/ objectivity classification.
The traditional algorithms can be used for the training
processes.
2.3. Phrase level sentiment analysis
The phrase level sentiment classification is a much more
pinpointed approach to opinion mining. The phrases that
contain opinion words are found out and a phrase level
classification is done. This can be advantageous or
disadvantageous. In some cases, the exact opinion about an
entity can be correctly extracted.
But in some other cases, where contextual polarity also
matters, the result may not be fully accurate. Negation of
words can occur locally. In such cases, this level of
sentiment analysis suffices. But if there are sentences with
negating words which are far apart from the opinion words,
phrase level analysis is not desirable. Also long range
dependencies are not considered here. The words that appear
very near to each other are considered to be in a phrase.
3. SUBJECTIVITY/ OBJECTIVITY
CLASSIFICATION
Subjectivity/Objectivity classification is a challenge that
should be addressed along with sentiment analysis problem.
The text pieces may or may not contain useful opinions or
comments. The subjective sentences are the relevant texts,
and the objective sentences are the irrelevant texts. So we
must sort out the sentences that are useful for us and those
which are not. The subjective sentences are those sentences
having useful information for the sentiment analysis. Such
classification is termed as subjectivity classification. Some
works have been done focusing on this particular problem.
In [1], the authors present a method of subjectivity
identification for sentiment analysis. This is important
because the irrelevant data from the reviews could be
eliminated. This eliminates the processing overheads of a
large amount of textual data. The method they propose is
using minimum cuts to produce subjective extracts from the
text. The work has been focused in the sentence level
subjectivity extraction.
A classification approach using Naive Bayesian classifier
is used in [2]. They present the results of developing
subjectivity classifiers using un-annotated texts for training.
In this work of learning Subjective and Objective sentences,
the method automatically generates training data. This is
done by a Rule-based approach. The rule-based subjective
classifier classifies a sentence as subjective if it contains two
or more strong subjective clues. In contrast, the rule-based
objective classifier looks for the absence of clues: it
classifies a sentence as objective if there are no strong
subjective clues in the current sentence, there is at most one
strong subjective clue in the previous and next sentence
combined, and at most 2 weak subjective clues in the
current, previous, and next sentence combined classifiers.
They use Subjective Precision, Subjective Recall, Subjective
F measure, Objective Precision, Objective Recall and
Objective F measure for the evaluation. They also
implement a self training procedure for the system.
4. MAJOR CHALLENGES INVOLVED IN
SENTIMENT ANALYSIS
There are several challenges that are to be faced to
implement sentiment analysis. Some of them are listed
below.
4.1. Named Entity Extraction
Named entities are definite noun phrases that refer to
specific types of individuals, such as organizations, persons,
dates, and so on. The goal of named entity extraction is to
identify all textual mentions of the named entities in a text
piece. Named entity recognition is a task that is well suited
to the type of classifier-based approach like sentiment
analysis. Consider the following example,
EXAMPLE 1: (i) The Canon Power Shot is a great camera
for beginners. (ii) It is easy to use and it is very good
quality. (iii) The graphics are great and it takes the picture
quickly. (iv) It has a wonderful face identification feature
which makes the picture even better than it was before. (v)
After you take the picture you can also do a red eye
correction! (vi) Audio is pretty good but the HD quality is
less than desirable.
Here the mention about the brand of camera, ’Canon Power
shot’ is a named entity. For effective sentiment analysis
such mentions should be sorted out.
4.2. Information Extraction
Information comes in many shapes and sizes. The
complexity of natural language can make it very difficult to
access the information in the opinion text.
The tools in NLP are still not fully capable to build general-
purpose representations of meaning from unrestricted text.
Regarding information available, one important form is
structured data, where there is a regular and predictable
organization of entities and relationships. Another is
unstructured data which can be found in the Internet in large
volume. Information Extraction has many applications,
including business intelligence, media analysis, sentiment
detection, patent search, and email scanning. In the
sentiment analysis application, the information that is to be
extracted are the opinions and the corresponding polarity
values.
4.3. Sentiment Determination
The sentiment determination is a task that assigns a
sentiment polarity to a word, a sentence or a document. A

_______________________________________________________________________________________
traditional way for sentiment polarity assignment is to use
the sentiment lexicon. The adjectives of a sentence are given
importance in opinion mining because they have more
probability to carry information while sentiment analysis
problem is considered. The presence of any of the words in
the opinion lexicon can be helpful while finding the
sentiment polarity. There are approaches like dictionary
based approach and Corpus based approaches to build up the
opinion lexicon.
4.4. Co-reference Resolution
Co-reference resolution is to be done in aspect level and
entity level. In the case of opinionated text, we can see
comparative texts. These comparative texts may contain co-
references. These references must be effectively resolved for
producing correct results. For example, consider the
following opinionated text,
EXAMPLE 2: Comparing Nikon’s Coolpix to its main
competitor the Canon, it takes excellent photos and is quite
compact.
Here two named entities are mentioned and they are Nikon
and Canon. The pronoun ’it’ in the text refers to ’Nikon’s
Coolpix’. When the co-referring words are not found out,
effective sentiment analysis cannot be carried out. The
importance of co-reference resolution lies in the fact that it
helps in providing more information in the Information
retrieval tasks. There are several anaphora resolution factors
that help in the task. Constraints and preferences are
considered while carrying out this task. The scope of the
resolution task is also to be defined. The scope can be a
sentences, nearby sentences or a document etc. The co-
reference resolution is important to the sentiment analysis
problem and very complex task in itself. The resolution
problem itself is not solved yet in NLP.
4.5. Relation Extraction
Relation extraction is the task of finding the syntactic
relation between words in a sentence. The semantics of a
sentence can be found out by extracting relations between
words and this can be done by knowing the word
dependencies. This is also a major research area in NLP and
serious researches are going on to solve this problem.
Textual analysis like POS tagging, shallow parsing,
dependency parsing is a pre-requisite for relation extraction.
These steps are prone to errors. Many of the problems in
NLP are not fully solved because of the unstructured nature
of text. Relation extraction also belongs to the group of
challenging problems. The place of relation extraction in
sentiment analysis is very high and thus this challenge is to
be met and solved.
4.6. Domain Dependency
A sentiment classifier that is trained to classify opinion
polarities in a domain may produce miserable results when
the same classifier is used in another domain. Sentiment is
expressed differently in different domains. For instance,
consider two domains, digital camera and car. The way in
which customers express their thoughts, views and
prospective about digital camera will be different from those
of cars. But some similarities may also be present. So
Sentiment analysis is a problem which has high domain
dependency. Therefore cross domain sentiment analysis is a
challenging problem that has to be unfolded.
5. OPINION MINING AND SENTIMENT
ANALYSIS
The sentiment analysis problem is met using some of the
techniques using natural language processing technique,
proximity method etc. Following are a brief study on a few
of them.
A notable approach in [3] uses a sentence level sentiment
analysis. The word level feature extraction is done using
Naive Bayesian Classifier. The semantic orientation of the
individual sentences is retrieved from the contextual
information. This machine learning approach on average
claims an accuracy rate of 83%. For classifying and
analyzing of the sentiment from the reviews, machine
learning and lexical contextual information are used. The
paper focuses on sentence level to check whether the
sentences are objective or subjective and to classify the
polarity of the sentences to positive or negative opinion.
The naive bayes approach is used to annotate each sentence
as positive and negative on the bases of useful word level
feature. SVM classifier is trained on the annotated sentences
for the positive and negative classification. Contextual
information is used to calculate the polarity of sentence and
mark it as either negative or positive. The paper[4] presents
experiments for sentiment analysis to automatically
distinguish prior and contextual polarity. Beginning with a
large stable of clues marked with prior polarity, method
identifies the contextual polarity of the phrases that contain
instances of those clues in the corpus.
A two-step process is used that employs machine learning
and a variety of features. Firstly the method classifies each
phrase containing a clue as neutral or polar. Secondly it
takes all phrases marked in previous step as polar and
disambiguates their contextual polarity (positive, negative,
both, or neutral). The method describes a system that
automatically identifies the contextual polarity for a large
subset of sentiment expressions, achieving reliable results.
Another significant work is the implementation of both
Natural Language understanding and Generation in
Sentiment analysis [5]. A couple of algorithms to search and
predict the orientation of opinions are specified in this
research work. In their system there is a review database that
stores the opinionated texts. The method then finds frequent
features that many people have expressed their opinions on.
After that, the opinion words are extracted using the
resulting frequent features, and semantic orientations of the
opinion words are identified with the help of WordNet. The
system then finds those infrequent features.
The orientation of each opinion sentence is identified and a
final text summary is generated in this work. The part of

_______________________________________________________________________________________
speech tagging from natural language processing is used to
find opinion features. The output of the above paper is a text
summary of opinions. Thus Summarization of text is also
done as a subsystem. But this summarization work is truly
dependent on the features and hence is far from the
automatic summarization work in the field of NLP. The
paper proposes a method by utilizing the adjective synonym
set and antonym set in WordNet to predict the semantic
orientations of adjectives. The paper also describes the need
of pronoun resolution in opinion mining even though it is
not addressed.
A method of sentiment analysis which does not use
conventional natural language rules is specified in [6]. The
work uses a machine learning approach (Naive Bayesian)for
classification. The class association rules is used to extract
the associations between term features appearing in
consumer review opinions and product features for a
particular consumer product.
A set of pre-classified opinion sentences is utilized as
training data to develop class association rules. Each
sentence is labeled with one or more product features, fj , or
no product feature, none. The f-measure is used as metric
for evaluation, and claims efficiency up to 70%. In the
paper, the review sentences are divided into various classes
according to the association rules. The classification of the
opinionated text is done using both class association rules
and naive Bayesian classifier. After which the experiments
done proves that Class association rules perform better than
the traditional naïve Bayesian classifiers. In [7], the authors
present an approach for opinion mining which relies on
natural language processing techniques. The work is
accomplished by the sentiment lexicon and a pattern
database. The two feature selection algorithms discussed in
this work are based on mixture model and the likelihood
ratio. They propose a sentiment pattern based analysis for
the sentiment classification work.
In [8], an in-depth study of dependency relations among the
words of a sentence is discussed. In their work, the
dependencies are classified as short range and long range
dependencies. They use a clustering approach after the
parsing is done. In the paper [9] a combined model of
sentiment analysis is done. Considering every levels of
analysis like phrase level, sentence level and document level
have their own advantages. But a combination model
including all the three may achieve better performance.
A combined model based on phrase and sentence level
analyses and a description on the implementation of
different levels of analyses are presented. For the phrase-
level sentiment analysis, a template is used. The newly
defined template is Left-Middle-Right template. The
Conditional Random Fields are used to extract the sentiment
words. The Maximum Entropy model is used in the
sentence-level sentiment analysis. The combination model
with specific combination of features performs slightly
better than the traditional single level models. Another
paper which studies the mining of on-line reviews in the
movie domain is [10]. In the paper they come up with a
proposal of a model called S-PLSA(Sentiment Probabilistic
Latent Semantic Analysis). This is a generative model for
sentiment analysis that does a deeper comprehension of the
sentiments in blogs.
The model S-PLSA is used for summarizing sentiment
information from reviews. From the S-PLSA model, they
developed ARSA(Autoregressive Sentiment-Aware model),
a model for predicting sales performance based on the
sentiment information and the product’s past sales
performance. They have considered the role of review
quality in sales performance prediction. The model predicts
the quality rating of a review. The quality factor is then
incorporated into a another model called ARSQA
(Autoregressive Sentiment and Quality Aware model). Two
models, ARSA and ARSQA models are designed for
product sales prediction. These models reflect the effect of
sentiments, and past sales performance on future sales
performance. Sentiment analysis problem is attempted to be
solved using a clustering approach in [11]. This paper also
discusses application of TF-IDF weighting method, voting
mechanism and importing term scores and claims almost
stable results. A feature level Sentiment analysis is
discussed in [12]. Here the work has been concentrated on
Chinese product reviews.
The feature selection process is based on an apriori
algorithm. The Apriori association mining rules is used to
extract the candidate product features. Then the orders of
some candidate product feature words are adjusted. Finally,
point-wise mutual information (PMI) methods are used to
filter feature words so as to obtain the meaningful product
feature words. The work is very simple and not upto
satisfaction. But the feature extraction done in this work is
mentionable. A very distinguishable approach to opinion
mining is put forward in [13]. The model is based on nouns
and adverb-adjective-noun (AAN) combinations in
sentiment analysis .
The AAN based sentiment analysis technique deploys
linguistic analysis of adverbs of degree , domain specific
adjective and abstract noun. A set of general axioms (based
on a classification of adverbs of degree into five categories,
classification of adjective into ten specific domain,
classification of abstract noun in two categories) for opinion
analysis is also defined. The way in which the adjectives and
adverbs are found and scored is interesting. Unary and
binary AAN algorithms are also mentioned in the work.
Another new approach is a proximity based sentiment
analysis [14].
The idea is based on the findings about the way in which
humans express their thoughts. When a person starts writing
positively about a topic or subject they continue with this
positive trend for a period of time. Later inflexion words
like “however” are used and then start writing in negative
sense about the topic. In a paragraph people usually do not
repeatedly write one positive and one negative word
together. Typically segments of a written text (e.g.

_______________________________________________________________________________________
paragraphs or sentences) capture a concept or trend of
thought over a short period of time. Such trends could
fluctuate as one moves along the written document. The
average distance between positive-oriented (or negative-
oriented) words is expected to be small for segments bearing
positive (negative) sentiments. Consequently, the average
distance between positive-oriented (negative-oriented)
words is relatively large for segments bearing negative
(positive) sentiments. This is the principle on which the
model is developed. Three different proximity-based
features, proximity distributions, mutual information
between proximity types, and proximity patterns are used
for sentiment analysis.
Support Vector Machine Classifier is made use of in [15].
The approach emphasizes the use of a variety of diverse
information sources, and SVMs provide the ideal tool to
bring these sources together. The methods are used to assign
values to selected words and phrases, and bring them
together to create a model for the classification of texts. In
this paper, The sentiment orientation of a phrase is
determined based upon the phrase’s point wise mutual
information (PMI) with the words like excellent and poor.
Semantic values of phrases and words within a text are used
to add to features for SVM training. Combinations of SVMs
using these features in conjunction with SVMs based on uni-
grams and lemmatized uni-grams is a diverse method from
ours.
In [16], reviews are classified into positive and negative
ones. Traditionally the document classification was
performed on the topic basis. The three machine learning
methods Naive Bayes, maximum entropy classification, and
support vector machine are used for sentiment analysis. The
traditional ways of document classification based on topic is
tried out for sentiment analysis. They consider positive and
negative as two topics and classify the reviews according to
that. The work concludes that mere usage of the same
technique of topic based classification in the sentiment
domain fails. Therefore more sophisticated techniques
should be used in solving the sentiment analysis problem.
The paper [17] describes the use of Passive-Aggressive (PA)
Algorithm Based Classifier. The Passive Aggressive
algorithms are a family of margin based on-line learning
algorithms for binary classification. PA algorithms work
similarly to support vector machines (SVM). PA algorithms
try to find a hyper plane that separates the instances into two
half-spaces. The margin of an example is proportional to the
example’s distance to the hyper plane. When making errors
in predicting examples, PA algorithm utilizes the margin to
modify the current classifier. They update the classifier by
the constraints.
Another classifier compared with is Language modeling
(LM) Based classifier. Language modeling (LM) is a
generative method that calculates the probability of
generating a given word sequence, or string. The third
classifier is the Winnow classifier. Winnow is an on-line
learning algorithm for sentiment classification. Winnow
learns a linear classifier from bag-of-words of documents to
predict the polarity of a review. Instead of uni-grams or bi-
grams, n-grams (6-grams) are used as features in their
model. The major observation from this paper is the use of
high order n-grams as features. In the paper[18], a sentiment
analysis approach to extract sentiments associated with
polarities of positive or negative for specific subjects from a
document is done. This is in contrast of classifying the
whole document into positive or negative. In order to
identify sentiment expressions and to analyze their semantic
relationships with the subject term, natural language
processing plays an important role. The method identifies
the subjects in the opinion sentences and associate opinions
to these subjects.
6. CROSS DOMAIN SENTIMENT ANALYSIS
Cross domain sentiment analysis is introduced to reduce the
manual effort in training the machine using labeled data.
Instead the machine learns from a particular domain and
analyse the sentiment polarities of texts in another domain.
This is a very challenging problem because the kind of
words used to express emotions in two different domains
may be very different. A paper [19] approaches this topic
vastly covering all the difficulties evolved in the problem. A
sentiment sensitive distributional thesaurus is created using
labeled data for the source domains and unlabelled data for
both source and target domains. Sentiment sensitivity is
achieved in the thesaurus by incorporating document level
sentiment labels in the context vectors used as the basis for
measuring the distributional similarity between words. The
created thesaurus is used to expand feature vectors during
train and test times in a binary classifier.
6. CONCLUSION
Sentiment Analysis problem is a machine learning problem
that has been a research interest for recent years. Through
this literature survey, the relevant works done to solve this
problem could be studied. Although several notable works
have come in this field, a fully automated and highly
efficient system has not been introduced till now. This is
because of the unstructured nature of natural language. The
vocabulary of natural language is very large that things
become even hard. Several challenges still exist in the field
of machine learning and some of them are Named entity
Recognition, Coreference Resolution, domain dependency
etc. These problems have to be tackled separately and those
solutions can be used to improve the methods to do
sentiment analysis.
