"abstract": "In this paper, we propose a Localized Feature Selection (LFS) framework tailored to the HL-SOT approach to sentiment analysis. Within the proposed LFS framework, each node classifier of the HL-SOT approach is able to perform classification on target texts in a locally customized index term space. Extensive empirical analysis against a human-labeled data set demonstrates that with the proposed LFS framework the classification performance of the HL-SOT approach is enhanced with computational efficiency being greatly gained. To find the best feature selection algorithm that caters to the proposed LFS framework, five classic feature selection algorithms are comparatively studied, which indicates that the TS, DF, and MI algorithms achieve generally better performances than the CHI and IG algorithms. Among the five studied algorithms, the T-S algorithm is best to be employed by the proposed LFS framework.",

"text": "Sentiment analysis on product reviews aims at extracting sentiment information from texts. It includes two tasks, i.e., labeling a target text 1 with 1 Each product review to be analyzed is called target text 1) the product's attributes it mentions (attributes identification task), and 2) the corresponding sentiments mentioned therein (sentiment annotation task). Recently, Wei and Gulla proposed the HL-SOT approach (Wei and Gulla, 2010) , i.e., Hierarchical Learning (HL) with Sentiment Ontology Tree (SOT), that is able to achieve the two tasks in one hierarchical classification process. In the HL-SOT approach, each target text is encoded by a vector in a globally unified d-dimensional index term space and is respectively labeled by different nodes 2 of SOT in a hierarchical manner. Although the HL-SOT approach is reported with promising classification performance on tasks of sentiment analysis, its computational efficiency, especially as d increases, becomes very low. Furthermore, as d increases it will have more chance to index noisy term into the globally unified index term space so that the classification performance of the HL-SOT approach might be depressed. Hence, we argue that if a locally customized index term space could be constructed for each node respectively, both the computational efficiency and the classification performance of the HL-SOT approach would be improved.",

"text": "In this paper, we propose a Localized Feature Selection (LFS) framework tailored to the HL-SOT approach. The rationale of the proposed LFS framework draws on the following two observations. Firstly, a feature term that is relevant to a node is usually irrelevant to nodes which stay at another branch of SOT. For example, \"ergonomics\" might be a feature term for the node \"design and usability\" (see Fig. 1 ) but it is irrelevant to the node \"image quality\". Secondly, a feature terin the following of this paper. Figure 1 : an example of part of a SOT for digital camera m might become insignificant for child nodes of i even if the feature term is significant to i. For example, for a sentence commenting on a digital camera like \"40D handles noise very well\", terms such as \"noise\" and \"well\" are significant feature terms for the node \"noise\". However, the term \"noise\" becomes insignificant for its child nodes \"noise +\" and \"noise -\", since the hierarchical classification characteristic of the HL-SOT approach that a node only processes target texts which are labeled as true by its parent node ensures that each target text handled by the nodes \"noise +\" and \"noise -\" is already classified as related to \"noise\".",

The experimental results show that with the proposed LFS framework the classification performance of the HL-SOT approach is enhanced and the computational efficiency is significantly improved. To test which is the best to be employed by the proposed LFS framework, we further comparatively study five classic feature selection algorithms respectively based on document frequency (DF) (Manning et al., 2008) , mutual information (MI) (Manning et al., 2008; Church and Hanks, 1990) , \u03c7 2statistic (CHI) (Manning et al., 2008) , information gain (IG) (Mitchell, 1997) , and term strength (T-S) (Wilbur and Sirotkin, 1992) . The comparatively experimental results suggest that the TS, DF, and MI algorithms achieve generally better performance than the CHI and IG algorithms.

"text": "Research on sentiment analysis was originally performed to extract overall sentiments from target texts. However, as shown in the experiments in (Turney, 2002) , the whole sentiment of a document is not necessarily the sum of its parts. Recent work has shifted the focus from overall document sentiment to sentiment analysis based on product attributes (Hu and Liu, 2004; Popescu and Etzioni, 2005; Ding and Liu, 2007; Liu et al., 2005) . Document overall sentiment analysis is to summarize the overall sentiment in the document, which relies on two finer levels of sentiment annotation: word-level sentiment annotation and phrase-level sentiment annotation. The wordlevel sentiment annotation is to utilize the polarity annotation of words in each sentence and summarize the overall sentiment of each sentimentbearing word to infer the overall sentiment within the text (Hatzivassiloglou and Wiebe, 2000; Andreevskaia and Bergler, 2006; Esuli and Sebastiani, 2005; Esuli and Sebastiani, 2006; Hatzivassiloglou and McKeown, 1997; Kamps et al., 2004; Devitt and Ahmad, 2007; Yu and Hatzivassiloglou, 2003) . The phrase-level sentiment annotation focuses sentiment annotation on phrases not words with concerning that atomic units of expression is not individual words but rather appraisal groups (Whitelaw et al., 2005) . In (Wilson et al., 2005) , the concepts of prior polarity and contextual polarity were proposed. This paper presented a system that is able to automatically identify the contextual polarity for a large subset of sentiment expressions. In (Turney, 2002) , an unsupervised learning algorithm was proposed to classify reviews as recommended or not recommended by averaging sentiment annotation of phrases in reviews that contain adjectives or adverbs. However, the performances of these approaches are not satisfactory for sentiment analysis on product reviews, where sentiment on each attribute of a product could be so complicated that it is unable to be expressed by overall document sentiment.",

"text": "Attributes-based sentiment analysis is to analyze sentiment based on each attribute of a product. In (Hu and Liu, 2004) , mining product features was proposed together with sentiment polarity annotation for each opinion sentence. In that work, sentiment analysis was performed at the product attributes level. In (Liu et al., 2005) , a system with framework for analyzing and comparing consumer opinions of competing products was proposed. The system made users be able to clearly see the strengths and weaknesses of each product in the minds of consumers in terms of various product features. In (Popescu and Etzioni, 2005 ), Popescu and Etzioni not only analyzed polarity of opinions regarding product features but also ranked opinions based on their strength. In , Liu et al. proposed Sentiment-PLSA that analyzed blog entries and viewed them as a document generated by a number of hidden sentiment factors. These sentiment factors may also be factors based on product attributes. In (Lu and Zhai, 2008) , Lu et al. proposed a semi-supervised topic models to solve the problem of opinion integration based on the topic of a product's attributes. The work in (Titov and McDonald, 2008) presented a multi-grain topic model for extracting the ratable attributes from product reviews. In (Lu et al., 2009) , the problem of rated attributes summary was studied with a goal of generating ratings for major aspects so that a user could gain different perspectives towards a target entity. In a most recent research work (Wei and Gulla, 2010) , Wei and Gulla proposed the HL-SOT approach that sufficiently utilizes the hierarchical relationships among a product attributes and solves the sentiment analysis problem in a hierarchical classification process. However, the HL-SOT approach proposed in (Wei and Gulla, 2010 ) uses a globally unified index term space to encode target texts for different nodes which is deemed to limit the performance of the HL-SOT approach. Therefore, the LFS framework proposed in this paper aims at overcoming the weakness of the HL-SOT approach and consequently improving its performance by generating a locally customized index term space for each node.",

When we look into the detailed classification process of each node of SOT, we observe the following two types of phenomena. Firstly, SOT organizes domain knowledge in a tree like structure. Within a particular domain knowledge represented by SOT, nodes that stay in different branches of SOT represent independent different attributes in that domain. In this way, feature terms (e.g., the term \"ergonomics\") that are relevant to a node (e.g., the node \"design and usability\") might be irrelevant to other nodes (e.g., the node \"image quality\") that stay at another branches of SOT; Secondly, the HL-SOT approach labels each target text in a hierarchical order which ensures that each target text that comes to be handled by a node has already been labeled as true by its parent node. Due to this characteristic, feature terms (e.g., the term \"noise\") that are significant to a node i (e.g., the node \"noise\") might become a trivial term for i's child nodes (e.g., the nodes \"noise +\" and \"noise -\"). Therefore, the purpose of the localized feature selection is to filter out irrelevant terms that are insignificant to each individual node and build a locally customized index term space for the node so that the performance of the node can be improved.",

The only difference between HL-SOT and DF-SOT is the index term space for each node of SOT, i.e., in the HL-SOT all the nodes using the globally unified index term space while in the DF-SOT each node respectively using a locally customized index term space.

Fig. 3 presents the experimental results of classification accuracies between HL-SOT and DF-SOT. In the experiments, the dimensionality d of the globally unified index term space of the HL-SOT approach is set to 270, which is large enough for the HL-SOT approach to reach its best performance level. The feature selection rate \u03b3 for the locally customized index term space of the DF-SOT approach is set to 0.2 and 0.3, which brings respectively 80% and 70% vocabulary reduction. The value of the corrective step \u03f5 is set to varying from 0.005 to 0.05 with each step of 0.005 so that each running approach can achieve its best performance with a certain value of \u03f5. From Fig. 3 , we can observe that when \u03b3 = 0.2 the DF-SOT approach reaches its best performance with 0.6953 (\u03f5 = 0.02) on O-Loss, 1.5516 (\u03f5 = 0.045) on S-Loss, and 1.0578 (\u03f5 = 0.04) on H-Loss, and that when \u03b3 = 0.3 the DF-SOT approach reaches its best performance with 0.6953 (\u03f5 = 0.015) on O-Loss, 1.5531 (\u03f5 = 0.02) on S-Loss, and 1.0547 (\u03f5 = 0.025) on H-Loss, which outperforms the best performance of the HL-SOT approach on O-Loss 0.6984 (\u03f5 = 0.025), on S-Loss 1.6188 (\u03f5 = 0.025), and on H-Loss 1.0969 (\u03f5 = 0.05).

All the experiments are conducted on a normal personal computer containing an Intel Pentium D CPU (2.4 GHz, Dual Core) and 4G memory. Fig. 4 summarizes the computational time consumed by experiment runs respectively for HL-SOT (d = 270) and DF-SOT (\u03b3 = 0.2 and \u03b3 = 0.3). From Fig. 4 , we can observe that the HL-SOT approach consumes 15917695 ms to finish an experimental run, although the DF-SOT approach only takes respectively 2.29% (with \u03b3 = 0.2 ) and 4.91% (with \u03b3 = 0.2 ) of computational time as the existing HL-SOT approach consumes and achieves even better classification performance than the HL-SOT approach (see Fig.3 ). This confirms that much computational efficiency can be gained for the HL-SOT approach to be implemented in the LFS framework while better classification performance is ensured. Since the computational complexity of each node classifier of DF-SOT is the same as HL-SOT, the computational efficiency gained from the proposed LFS framework should be attributed to the dimension reduction of the index term space.",

"text": "The proposed LFS framework for the HL-SOT approach can employ various feature selection algorithms to select local features for each individual node. In this section, we conduct intensive experiments to comparatively study five classic feature selection algorithms employed within the LFS framework. The five employed feature selection algorithms are respectively document frequency (Manning et al., 2008) based feature selection algorithm, mutual information (MI) (Manning et al., 2008; Church and Hanks, 1990) based feature selection algorithm, \u03c7 2 -statistic (CHI) (Manning et al., 2008) based feature selection algorithm, information gain (IG) (Mitchell, 1997) based feature selection algorithm as well as term strength (TS) (Wilbur and Sirotkin, 1992) based feature selection algorithm 5 . In the experiments, the feature selection rate \u03b3 is set to 0.2 and 0.3 respectively. The value of the corrective step \u03f5 varies from 0.005 to 0.05 with each step of 0.005. The experimental results are summarized in Fig. 5. From Fig. 5 it is observed that DF, MI, and TS feature selection algorithms achieve generally better performances than CHI and IG feature selection algorithms when they are employed in the proposed LFS framework. Specifically, the TS algorithm is generally the best among the five employed algorithms while the DF algorithm can also achieve as comparable good performance as the TS algorithm does. This is due to that both the TS and the DF algorithms favor high frequency terms and vocabularies used in customer reviews on a specific product are usually overlapping. When \u03b3 = 0.3, it can be also observed that the MI algorithm achieves as comparable good performance as the TS algorithm does. This is because, in customer reviews, although some vocabularies are rarely used they always occur as significant features in some specific categories. For example, \"ergonomics\" is a rare term but almost always appears in the class of \"design and usability\". Therefore, the MI algorithm can also achieve relatively better performance through favoring rare terms that always co-occur with specific classes.",

The effectiveness of the proposed LFS is validated against a humanlabeled data set.

This problem is inherently raised by the bag-of-word model. A conceptbased indexing scheme that can infer concepts of unobserved terms might alleviate the problem.
