Using Sentiwordnet 3.0


I plan on using Sentiwordnet 3.0 for Sentiment classification. Could someone clarify as to what the numbers associated with words in Sentiwordnet represent? For e.g. what does 5 in rank#5 mean? Also for POS what is the letter used to represent adverbs? Im assuming 'a' is adjectives. I could not find an explanation either on their site or on other sites.


Solution

  • I found the answer. Seems like the number notation comes form Wordnet. It represents the rank in which the given word is commonly used. So rank#5 refers to the context in which rank is used 5th most commonly. Similarly rank#1 refers to the meaning of rank most commonly used. The following are the POS notations:

    n - NOUN
    v - VERB
    a - ADJECTIVE
    s - ADJECTIVE SATELLITE
    r - ADVERB
