Abstract

Opinion mining has become an important field of text mining. The limitations in case of supervised learning refer to domain dependence: a solution is highly dependent (if not specifically designed or at least specifically tuned) on a given data set (or at least specific domain). Our method is an attempt to overcome such limitations by considering the generic characteristics hidden in textual information. We aim to identify the sentiment polarity of documents that are part of different domains with the help of a uniform, cross-domain representation. It relies on three classes of original meta-features that can be used to characterize datasets belonging to various domains. We evaluate our approach using three datasets extensively used in the literature. The results for in-domain and cross-domain verification show that the proposed approach handles novel domains increasingly better as its training corpus grows, thus inducing domain-independence.
