MVSA: Sentiment Analysis on Multi-view Social Data

New: We are pleased to release our new MVSA dataset including more tweets and annotations. In the new dataset, each tweet is annotated by three annotators. We name this dataset as MVSA-multiple. The original MVSA used in [1], where each tweet only has one label, is named as MVSA-single.

Overview

There is an increasing interest in understanding users’ attitude or sentiment towards a specific topic (e.g., a brand) from the large repository of opinion-rich data on the Web. While great efforts have been devoted on the single media, either text or image, little attempts are paid for the joint analysis of multi-view data which is becoming a prevalent form in the social media. To prompt the research on this interesting and important problem, we introduce a multi-view sentiment analysis dataset (MVSA) including a set of image-text pairs with manual annotations collected from Twitter. The dataset can be utilized as a valuable benchmark for both single-view and multi-view sentiment analysis..

 Positive: Positive
 Neutral:  Neutral
 Negative  Negative

The Dataset

MVSA-multiple can be downloaded from MVSA-multiple on One Drive  and MVSA-multiple on BaiduYun.

 MVSA-single can be downloaded from MVSA- single on One Drive and MVSA- single on BaiduYun .

We provide following information:

  • Original image-text pairs collected from Twitter.
  • Annotation for both text and image.

We adopt the standard statistical learning methods for single-view and multi-view sentiment analysis.
