SenticNet 3: A Common and Common-Sense Knowledge Base for Cognition-Driven Sentiment Analysis

Abstract

SenticNet is a publicly available semantic and affective resource for concept-level opinion mining and sentiment analysis. Rather than using graph-mining and dimensionality-reduction techniques, SenticNet 3 makes use of 'energy flows' to connect various parts of extended common and common-sense knowledge representations to one another. SenticNet 3 models nuanced semantics and sentics (that is, the conceptual and affective information associated with multi-word natural language expressions), representing information with a symbolic opacity intermediate between that of neural networks and of typical symbolic systems.
