Online news has replaced the traditional newspaper and has brought about a profound transformation in the way we access and share information. News websites have had the ability for users to post comments for quite some time, and some have also begun to crowdsource reactions to news articles. The field of sentiment analysis seeks to computationally model the emotions and reactions experienced when presented with text. In this work, we analyze more than 100,000 news articles over ten categories with five user-generated emotional annotations to determine whether or not these reactions have a mathematical correlation to the news body text and propose a simple sentiment analysis algorithm that requires minimal preprocessing and no machine learning. We show that it is effective even for a morphologically complex language like Korean.

Purpose The research was studied the hierarchical Hangul emotion index by organizing all the emotions which SNS users are thinking. As a preliminary study by the researcher, the English-based Plutchick (1980)'s emotional standard was reinterpreted in Korean, and a hashtag with implicit meaning on SNS was studied. To build a multidimensional emotion dictionary and classify three-dimensional emotions, an emotion seed was selected for the composition of seven emotion sets, and an emotion word dictionary was constructed by collecting SNS hashtags derived from each emotion seed. We also want to explore the priority of each Hangul emotion index. Design/methodology/approach In the process of transforming the matrix through the vector process of words constituting the sentence, weights were extracted using TF-IDF (Term Frequency Inverse Document Frequency), and the dimension reduction technique of the matrix in the emotion set was NMF (Nonnegative Matrix Factorization) algorithm. The emotional dimension was solved by using the characteristic value of the emotional word. The cosine distance algorithm was used to measure the distance between vectors by measuring the similarity of emotion words in the emotion set. Findings Customer needs analysis is a force to read changes in emotions, and Korean emotion word research is the customer's needs. In addition, the ranking of the emotion words within the emotion set will be a special criterion for reading the depth of the emotion. The sentiment index study of this research believes that by providing companies with effective information for emotional marketing, new business opportunities will be expanded and valued. In addition, if the emotion dictionary is eventually connected to the emotional DNA of the product, it will be possible to define the "emotional DNA", which is a set of emotions that the product should have.

The development of information and communication technology like SNS, blogs, and bulletin boards, was provided a variety of places where you can express your thoughts and comments and allowing Big Data to grow, many people reveal the opinion of the social issues in SNS such as Twitter. In this study, we would like to pre-built sentimental dictionary about social issues and conduct a sentimental analysis with structured dictionary, to gather opinions on social issues that are created on twitter. The data that I used is "bikini", "nakkomsu" including tweet. As the result of analysis, precision is 61% and F1- score is 74%. This study expect to suggest the standard of dictionary construction allowing you to classify positive/negative opinion on specific social issues.

Assuming that the whole meaning of a document is a composition of the meanings of each part, this paper proposes to study the automatic grading of movie reviews which contain sentimental expressions. This will be accomplished by calculating the values of semantic segments and performing data classification for each review. The ARSSA(The Automatic Rating System for Sentiment analysis using an Appraisal dictionary) system is an effort to model decision making processes in a manner similar to that of the human mind. This aims to resolve the discontinuity between the numerical ranking and textual rationalization present in the binary structure of the current review rating system: {rate: review}. This model can be realized by performing analysis on the abstract menas extracted from each review. The performance of this system was experimentally calculated by performing a 10-fold Cross-Validation test of 1000 reviews obtained from the Naver Movie site. The system achieved an 85% F1 Score when compared to predefined values using a predefined appraisal dictionary.

It is crucial for the social media based marketing practices to perform sentiment analyze the unstructured data written by the potential consumers of their products and services. In particular, when it comes to the companies which are interested in global business, the companies must collect and analyze the data from the social media of multinational settings (e.g. Youtube, Instagram, etc.). In this case, since the texts are multilingual, they usually translate the sentences into a certain target language before conducting sentiment analysis. However, due to the lack of cultural differences and highly qualified data dictionary, translated sentences suffer from misunderstanding the true meaning. These result in decreasing the quality of sentiment analysis. Hence, this study aims to propose a method to perform a multilingual sentiment analysis, focusing on Korean-Chinese cases, while avoiding language translations. To show the feasibility of the idea proposed in this paper, we compare the performance of the proposed method with those of the legacy methods which adopt language translators. The results suggest that our method outperforms in terms of RMSE, and can be applied by the global business institutions.

COVID-19 was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO) on 30 January 2020. The lifestyle of people all over the world has changed since. In most cases, the pandemic has appeared to create severe mental disorders, anxieties, and depression among people. Mostly, the researchers have been conducting surveys to identify the impacts of the pandemic on the mental health of people. Despite the better quality, tailored, and more specific data that can be generated by surveys,social media offers great insights into revealing the impact of the pandemic on mental health. Since people feel connected on social media, thus, this study aims to get the people's sentiments about the pandemic related to mental issues. Word Cloud was used to visualize and identify the most frequent keywords related to COVID-19 and mental health disorders. This study employs Majority Voting Ensemble (MVE) classification and individual classifiers such as Naïve Bayes (NB), Support Vector Machine (SVM), and Logistic Regression (LR) to classify the sentiment through tweets. The tweets were classified into either positive, neutral, or negative using the Valence Aware Dictionary or sEntiment Reasoner (VADER). Confusion matrix and classification reports bestow the precision, recall, and F1-score in identifying the best algorithm for classifying the sentiments.

In this paper, we introduce a system that summarizes product evaluation through linguistic analysis to effectively utilize explosively increasing product reviews. Our system analyzes polarities of product reviews by product features, based on which customers evaluate each product like 'design' and 'material' for a skirt product category. The system shows to customers a graph as a review summary that represents percentages of positive and negative reviews. We build an opinion word dictionary for each product feature through context based automatic expansion with small seed words, and judge polarity of reviews by product features with the extracted dictionary. In experiment using product reviews from online shopping malls, our system shows average accuracy of 69.8% in extracting judgemental word dictionary and 81.8% in polarity resolution for each sentence.

비정형 데이터에 대한 분석이 활발해짐에 따라 감성분석 기술에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 대부분의 감성분석 연구는 감성단어를 긍정, 중립, 부정의 세 가지로 분류하여 감성사전을 구축하고 있다. 최근 다양한 감성으로 분류하려는 시도가 있지만, 단어의 감성 정도를 정량화하는 연구는 극히 드물고 자동으로 정량화하지 못하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 한국어 감성사전을 자동 구축하기 위하여 한국어 사전 뜻풀이와 유의어를 이용하여 단어의 감성수치를 자동으로 추정하는 방법을 제안한다. 제안방법은 현재 SNS에서 많이 사용되는 감성단어의 감성수치를 추정하여 감성사전을 확장할 수 있고, 단어의 품사에 상관없이 감성수치를 추정할 수 있다는 장점을 가진다.

본 연구에서는 경제 뉴스로부터 서술어 중심의 감성 사전을 구축하고, 하루 동안에 배포된 뉴스를 이용해 전일 종가 대비 당일 종가의 등락을 예측하는 모델을 제안한다. 기존의 주식 도메인 관련 감성 사전을 구축하는 방식은 주가 등락에 관련된 명사를 중심으로 사전을 구축하는 방식이나 대부분의 명사는 극성 값이 중립인 경우가 많아 극성 값을 추정하기 힘들다는 문제점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 극성 값이 잘 표현되는 서술어 중심의 감성사전을 구축하고 극성 값을 자동 추출하여 주가의 등락을 예측한다. 실험 결과 기존 감성 사전을 통한 주가 예측 방법에 비하여 본 연구에서 제안하는 서술어 중심의 감성 사전을 통한 주가 예측 정확도가 높게 나타났다.
