Abstract
Cross-domain sentiment analysis focuses on these problems where the source domain and the target domain are from different domains. However, traditional sentiment classification approaches usually perform poorly to address cross-domain problems. So, this paper proposed a cross-domain sentiment classification method based on extraction of key sentiment sentence. Firstly, based on the observation that not every part of the document is equally informative for inferring the sentiment orientation of the whole document, the concept of key sentiment sentence was defined. Secondly, taking advantage of three properties: sentiment purity, keyword property and position property, we construct heuristic rules, and combine with machine learning to extract key sentiment sentence. Then, data is divided into key and detail views. Integrating two views effectively can improve performance. Finally, experimental results show the superiority of our proposed method.
