    Detecting Online Rumors with Sentiment Analysis
    Shou Huanrong,Deng Shuqing,Xu Jian
    2017, 1 (7): 44-51.  DOI: 10.11925/infotech.2096-3467.2017.0479
    Abstract   HTML ( 10 PDF(704KB) ( 534 )  

    [Objective] This paper aims to identify rumors automatically with the help of sentiment analysis. [Methods] First, we chose high-quality and low-quality information sources. Then, we calculated the sentiment value and difference between the information from different sources. Based on the assumption that the information from high-quality source was more reliable, information from low-quality channels could be listed as rumor if the sentiment difference between them exceeded the pre-set threshold. [Results] We applied the proposed method to information on food and health as well as health and medical issues, and then successfully identified twenty-three rumors from thirty suspected cases. The accuracy rate of rumor detection was 76.67%, the F-value was 83.34%, the recall and precision was 71.42% and 100%, respectively. For non-rumor message, the F-value, recall, and precision were 72.73%, 100% and 57.14%. [Limitations] We did not extract the data automatically from different sources and the sample size was relatively small. [Conclusions] Sentiment analysis could help us identify rumors effectively.

    Deng Sanhong,Fu Yuyangzi,Wang Hao
    2017, 1 (7): 52-60.  DOI: 10.11925/infotech.2096-3467.2017.0484
    Abstract   HTML ( 6 PDF(1324KB) ( 468 )  

    [Objective] This paper proposes a new method to automatically cataloguing Chinese books based on LSTM model, aiming to solve the issues facing single or multi-label classification. [Methods] First, we introduced deep learning algorithms to construct a new classification system with character embedding technique. Then, we trained the LSTM model with strings consisting of titles and keywords. Finally, we constructed multiple binary classifiers, which were examined with bibliographic data from three universities. [Results] The proposed model performed well and had practical value. [Limitations] We only analyzed five categories of Chinese bibliographies, and the granularity of classification was coarse. [Conclusions] The proposed Chinese book classification system based on LSTM model could preprocess data and learn incrementally, which could be transferred to other fields.

    Fine-grained Sentiment Analysis Based on Weibo
    Dun Xinhui,Zhang Yunqiu,Yang Kaixi
    2017, 1 (7): 61-72.  DOI: 10.11925/infotech.2096-3467.2017.0516
    Abstract   HTML ( 10 PDF(1622KB) ( 521 )  

    [Objective] This paper conducts a fine-grained sentiment analysis of Weibo posts by dividing the sentiments into eight categories and calculating their intensity values. [Methods] First, we analyzed the Weibo corpus to construct the question word list. Besides the seven sentiments defined by DUTIR, we added “suspected” to the list. Then, we used the Pointwise Mutual Information method, the impacts of negative words and the degree adverbs to construct the expression symbol dictionary. We employed Python to retrieve the needed data from Weibo, and applied the jiebaR package to segment the words. Finally, we classified the sentiments and calculated their intensity. [Results] We got the proportion of eight sentiment categories and sentiment intensity of commonly used drugs for diabetes. The Precision values of “angry” and “sad” were the highest (85.73% and 83.05%), while the Recall and F values of “happy” and “like” were the highest (more than 81%). The Precision, Recall and F values of “suspected” were 77.33%, 78.58% and 77.95% respectively. [Limitations] The sentiment dictionary needs to be expanded. [Conclusions] The proposed model could analyze the sentiment of Weibo Posts more effectively than traditional methods.

    Sentiment Analysis in Cross-Domain Environment with Deep Representative Learning
    Yu Chuanming,Feng Bolin,An Lu
    2017, 1 (7): 73-81.  DOI: 10.11925/infotech.2096-3467.2017.0506
    Abstract   HTML ( 2 PDF(543KB) ( 241 )  

    [Objective] The study trains the model with the source domain of rich labeling/tagging data and to project the source and target domain documents into the same feature space. This paper tries to solve the performance issue facing the target domain due to the lack of data. [Methods] First, we collected the Chinese, English and Japanese comments on books, DVDs and music from Amazon. Then, we proposed a Cross Domain Deep Representation Model (CDDRM) based on the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and Structural Correspondence Learning (SCL) techniques. Finally, we conducted cross-domain knowledge transfer and sentiment analysis. [Results] We found the best F value of CDDRM was 0.7368, which indicated the effectiveness of the proposed model. [Limitations] The F1 value of our model on long articles needs to be improved. [Conclusions] Transfer learning could help supervised learning obtain good classification results with small training sets. Compared with traditional methods, CDDRM does not require the training and testing sets having same or similar data structure.

    Xue Fuliang,Liu Junling
    2017, 1 (7): 90-99.  DOI: 10.11925/infotech.2096-3467.2017.07.11
    Abstract   HTML ( 1 PDF(614KB) ( 204 )  

    [Objective] This paper tries to improve user similarity calculation in collaborative filtering recommendation with trust relationship among them. Once there is no similar user for members of the target group, we recommend the most trusted ones as the similar users. [Methods] First, we retrieved the trusted users as candidates for the similar users. Second, we combined the trusted and the target users to form a project score set, and evaluated the estimated value of the projects receiving no comment from the target group. Third, we quantified the trust relationship among users to form a regulation factor. Finally, we calculated the adjustment factor and created the similarity cluster of users, and made cross-recommendation among similar users. [Results] The collaborative filtering recommendation method based on trust relationship had better performance than traditional ones. [Limitations] Only examined the new method with one sample dataset with trusted relationship. More research is needed to test the proposed method with other datasets. [Conclusions] The trusted relationship among users contains valuable information, which could be used to calculate user similarity for collaborative filtering recommendation services, and then effectively solves the sparsity and cold start issue.
