A MULTI-AGENT BASED SYSTEM FOR SENTIMENT ANALYSIS OF USER-GENERATED CONTENT
The recent years have been marked by a rapid growth in the World Wide Web 2.0 applications such as blog posts, forums, mailing lists, and product-review websites. As a result, a special sentiment analysis field has sprung up relevant to the issue of people's responses to the diversity of available subjects. Hence, one might well wonder: how do people feel and react when dealing with certain topics? In this paper, a new automatic sentiment-processing model has been advanced, whereby the current problems faced by the prevalent existing models can be deciphered and more properly treated. The suggested approach consists in developing a multi-agent system based on a thorough linguistic analysis, meanwhile highlighting the major contributions provided by such a study in combination with the syntactic, semantic, and subjective analyses. Actually, the newly-devised framework enables to resolve the ambiguities and complexities of the natural evaluative language and to strengthen, as well as consolidate, the results achieved at the various analysis stages thereof.
