SiSP: Japanese Situation-dependent Sentiment Polarity Dictionary

In order to deal with the variety of meanings and contexts of words, we created a Japanese Situation-dependent Sentiment Polarity Dictionary (SiSP) of sentiment values labeled for 20 different situations. This dictionary was annotated by crowdworkers with 25,520 Japanese words, and consists of 10 responses for each situation of each word. Using our SiSP, we predicted the polarity of each word in the dictionary and that of dictionary words in sentences considering the context. In both experiments, situation-dependent prediction showed superior results in determining emotional polarity.
