Abstract

A method, system, and computer program product for unsupervised automated generation of lexicons in a specified target domain, comprising tokens having domain-specific sentiment orientation, by selecting a seed set of tokens from a source lexicon; generating a candidate set of tokens from a text corpus in the target domain based on a similarity parameter with the seed set; calculating a sentiment score for each of the tokens in the candidate set; and automatically updating the source lexicon based on the candidate list.
