Abstract

Sentiment analysis (or opinion mining) is concerned not with the topic of a document, or its factual content, but rather with the opinion expressed in a document. In this paper we present a number of experiments on a word-based sentiment analysis on two corpora representing two related domains: film reviews and book reviews. We find that even close domains are very difficult to process without utilising in-domain data. We also indicate certain characteristics of features that affect cross-domain performance of sentiment classifiers.
