Rotten Tomatoes: Sentiment Classification in Movie Reviews
Alyssa Liang · 2006
Text classification plays an large part in today's world, where the amount of information available is overwhelming. Although most text classification work is related to topical classification, the categorization of more subjective documents that depend more on style and the author's opinion is also important. Websites such as Amazon, IMDB, and Rotten Tomatoes rely on opinions and reviews to keep their sites running. Classification of documents by sentiment (i.e. positive or negative) could also be useful in recommender systems and customer service.
