Abstract

This paper proposes a fast and high performance classifier model for sentiment analysis of textual reviews. The key contribution is three fold. First, a two-level classifier model consists of three base classifiers is proposed, and theory proves that the model could be better than the strongest classifier among the base classifiers in both classification performance and time cost of predict. Second, this paper proposes a lexicon-based classifier as a base classifier using a new part of speech (POS) which is called “weaken words”. Finally, we implemented several two-level classifiers by combining the lexicon-based classifier with several machine learning classifiers. Experiments on Chinese reviews dataset show that the two-level classifier model is effective and efficient.
