Abstract

Opinion mining is gaining more interest thanks to the ever growing data available on the internet. This work proposes an unsupervised approach that clusters opinions in fine grain ranges. The approach is able to generate its own seed words for better applicability to the context and eliminating user input. Furthermore, we devise a computation strategy for the influence of valence shifters and negations on opinion words. The method is general enough to perform well while reducing subjectivity to a minimum.
