EmotiBlog: towards a finer-grained sentiment analysis and its application to opinion mining

Abstract

EmotiBlog is a corpus designed for Sentiment Analysis research. Preliminary studies demonstrated its relevance as a Machine Learning resource for detecting subjective information. In this paper we explore additional features by a detailed analysis. In addition, we compare EmotiBlog with other well-known Sentiment Analysis resource such as the JRC corpus. Finally, as a result of our research, we developed an Opinion Mining application, which takes into account user opinions when rating the results of a search engine specialized in mobile phones.
