Abstract

This paper describes our participation at the third edition of the work- shop on Sentiment Analysis focused on Spanish tweets, tass 2014. This year’s eval- uation campaign includes four challenges: (1) global sentiment analysis, (2) topic classification, (3) aspect-extraction and (4) aspect-based sentiment analysis. Tasks 1 and 2 are addressed from a machine learning approach, using several linguistic resources and other information extracted from the training corpus to feed to a su- pervised classifier. With respect to task 3, we develop a naive approach, collecting a set of representations to identify the predefined aspects requested by the organisers. Finally, task 4 uses heuristics to identify the scope of each aspect, to then classify their sentiment via a supervised classifier. The experimental results are promising and will serve us as the starting point to develop more complex techniques.
