  Abstract

We proposed a new method to enhance sentiment analysis of social media text by utilizing the noisy text instead of filtering them out. The social media text contains numerous variations and inconsistencies due to the author"s limited vocabulary in a specific language, cognitive and typo spell-errors, abbreviating and shortening, and expression of emotions. Such variations result in generating lexically invalid words (misspelled words), which are considered as noise. Most of the existing work either filter out such noise or create a lexicon of these variations. The former method results in sentiment information loss while the latter method is highly application dependent. In this work, we propose a generic approach that can automatically handle the inconsistencies in the informal social media text. The proposed method conserves the sentiment information present in the noisy text by correcting the useful noisy terms rather than eliminating them. In the simulation, we integrated an ensembled sentiment analysis technique with an enhanced spell-checking technique for the correction of invalid words. The proposed scheme outperforms the state-of-the-art sentiment analysis schemes in terms of precision, recall, accuracy, and F1-score in simulation.
