Challenges
• Tweets are highly unstructured and also non-grammatical
• Out of Vocabulary Words
• Lexical Variation
• Extensive usage of acronyms like asap, lol, afaik
Our System
• Tweet Downloader – Download the tweets using Twitter API
• Tokenisation – Twitter specific POS Tagger developed by ARK Social
Media Search• Preprocessing
– Replacing Emoticons by their polarity, assign scores– Remove URL, Target Mentions– Replace #text -> text, since hashtags may contribute to the
sentiment– Replace Sequence of Repeated Characters eg. ‘cooooool’
by ‘cool’ and assign higher score– Twitter specific stop word removal– Acronym expansion
System Details
• Feature Extractor
– Unigrams and Bigrams
– Polarity Score of the Tweet (f1)– Count of Positive/Negative Words (f2,f3)
– Maximum Positive/Negative Score for Words (f4,f5)
– Count of Positive/Negative Emoticons and assign scores(contibutes to all f1,f2,f3,f4,f5)
– Positive/Negative special POS Tags Polarity Score
• Classifier and Prediction
– Features extracted are fed into to SVM classifier
– Model built used to predict sentiment of new tweets

Results and ConclusionA baseline model by taking the unigrams, and compare it with the bigrams and lexicon features model
Sub-Task Baseline Model Feature Based Model
Sentence Based 49.81% 57.85%
Accuracy F1 Score (f-Measure)
Sub-Task Baseline Model Feature Based Model
Sentence Based 55.56 61.17
• We investigated two kinds of models: Baseline and Feature Based Models
• For our feature-based approach, feature analysis reveals that the most important features are bigrams and those that combine the prior polarity of words and their parts-of-speech tags
