Abstract
Lexicon-based approaches have been widely used for opinion retrieval due to their simplicity. However, no previous work has focused on the domain-dependency problem in opinion lexicon construction. This paper proposes simple feedback-style learning for query-specific opinion lexicon using the set of top-retrieved documents in response to a query. The proposed learning starts from the initial domain-independent general lexicon and creates a query-specific lexicon by re-updating the opinion probability of the initial lexicon based on top-retrieved documents. Experimental results on recent TREC test sets show that the query-specific lexicon provides a significant improvement over previous approaches, especially in BLOG-06 topics.
