These term weighting features constitute the sentiment analysis model in our opinion retrieval system.

(2002) presents empirical results indicating that using term presence over term frequency is more effective in a data-driven sentiment classification task. Such a finding suggests that sentiment analysis may exploit different types of characteristics from the topical tasks, that, unlike fact-based text analysis tasks, repetition of terms does not imply a significance on the overall sentiment. On the other hand, Wiebe et al. (2004) have noted that hapax legomena (terms that only appear once in a collection of texts) are good signs for detecting subjectivity. Other works have also exploited rarely occurring terms for sentiment analysis tasks (Dave et al., 2003; Yang et al., 2006 ).",

"text": "The opinion retrieval task is a relatively recent issue that draws both the attention of IR and NLP communities. Its task is to find relevant documents that also contain sentiments about a given topic. Generally, the opinion retrieval task has been approached as a two-stage task: first, retrieving topically relevant documents, then reranking the documents by the opinion scores . This approach is also appropriate for evaluation systems such as NTCIR MOAT that assumes that the set of topically relevant documents are already known in advance. On the other hand, there are also some interesting works on modeling the topic and sentiment of documents in a unified way (Mei et al., 2007; Zhang and Ye, 2008) .",

For the sake of organization, we categorize the sources of features into either global or local knowledge, and either topic-independent or topic-dependent knowledge. Topic-independently speaking, a good sentiment term is discriminative and prominent, such that the appearance of the term imposes greater influence on the judgment of the analysis system. The rare occurrence of terms in document collections has been regarded as a very important feature in IR methods, and effective IR models of today, either explicitly or implicitly, accommodate this feature as an Inverse Document Frequency (IDF) heuristic (Fang et al., 2004) . Similarly, prominence of a term is recognized by the frequency of the term in its local context, formulated as Term Frequency (TF) in IR.",

One way of measuring this is using associations between the query and terms. Statistical measures of associations between terms include estimations by the co-occurrence in the whole collection, such as Point-wise Mutual Information (PMI) and Latent Semantic Analysis (LSA). Another method is to use proximal information of the query and the word, using syntactic structure such as dependency relations of words that provide the graphical representation of the text (Mullen and Collier, 2004) . The minimum spans of words in such graph may represent their associations in the text. Also, the distance between words in the local context or in the thesauruslike dictionaries such as WordNet may be approximated as such measure.",

PMI and LSA, both modeling the semantic associations between words, show different behaviors on the datasets. For the NT-CIR dataset, LSA performed better, while PMI is more effective for the TREC dataset. We believe that the explanation lies in the differences between the topics for each dataset. In general, the NTCIR topics are general descriptive words such as \"regenerative medicine\", \"American economy after the 911 terrorist attacks\", and \"lawsuit brought against Microsoft for monopolistic practices.\" The TREC topics are more namedentity-like terms such as \"Carmax\", \"Wikipedia primary source\", \"Jiffy Lube\", \"Starbucks\", and \"Windows Vista.\" We have experimentally shown that LSA is more suited to finding associations between general terms because its training documents are from a general domain. 9 Our PMI measure utilizes a web search engine, which covers a variety of named entity terms.",

The DTP feature displays similar behavior with precision. It also achieves the best f-measure over other topic association features.
