Summary

Opinion mining is an emerging field which uses computer science methods to extract subjective information, such as opinion, emotion, and attitude inherent in opinion holder's text. One of the major issues in opinion mining is to enhance the predictive performance of classification algorithm. Ensemble methods used for opinion mining aim to obtain robust classification models by combining decisions obtained by multiple classifier training, rather than depending on a single classifier. In this study, the comparative performance of opinion mining datasets on Bagging, Dagging, Random Subspace and Adaboost ensemble methods with five different classifiers and six different data representation schemes are presented. The experimental results indicate that ensemble methods can be used for building efficient opinion mining classification methods.
