Predictive Features in Semi-Supervised Learning for Polarity Classification and the Role of Adjectives

In opinion mining, there has been only very little work investigating semi-supervised machine learning on document-level polarity classification. We show that semi-supervised learning performs significantly better than supervised learning when only few labelled data are available. Semi-supervised polarity classifiers rely on a predictive feature set. (Semi-)Manually built polarity lexicons are one option but they are expensive to obtain and do not necessarily work in an unknown domain. We show that extracting frequently occurring adjectives & adverbs of an unlabeled set of in-domain documents is an inexpensive alternative which works equally well throughout different domains.
