Popis: This work presents a novel approach for automatically generating a sentiment lexicon. We employ an unsupervised learning approach using several probabilistic and information theoretic models. While most of the unsupervised approaches require a set of seed words to begin their work, our methods differ from these by using no a priori knowledge. In addition, our models are effective with a diverse corpus rather than requiring a corpus for a limited domain. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our approaches by performing sentiment analysis on Amazon products reviews, comparing the various automatically-generated lexicons. Based on our cross validation results, we show that our lexicons outperform a widely-used sentiment lexicon on both balanced and unbalanced datasets.
