Application of twin objective function SVM in sentiment analysis

Abstract

Classification modeling is one of the key issues in sentiment analysis. Support vector machine (SVM) has been widely used in classification as an effective machine learning method. Generally, a common SVM is only for decision-making that sacrifices the distribution of data. In practice, sentiment data are big and mazy, which results in the deficiency of accuracy and stability when common SVM is used. The study investigates sentiment analysis by applying the twin objective function SVM, including nonparallel SVM(NPSVM) and twin SVM (TWSVM). From the experiments, we concluded that twin objective function SVMs are superior to NB and single objective function SVM in accuracy and stability.
