Sentiment analysis under temporal shift

Abstract

Sentiment analysis models often rely ontraining data that is several years old. Inthis paper, we show that lexical featureschange polarity over time, leading to degradingperformance. This effect is particularlystrong in sparse models relyingonly on highly predictive features. Usingpredictive feature selection, we are able tosignificantly improve the accuracy of suchmodels over time.
