Abstract: The sentiment lexicon is helpful for sentiment analysis and can be used to classify sentiment by word matching.However,sentiment lexicon has some limitations in terms of vocabulary coverage and domain adaptation.Therefore,this paper proposes a sentiment classification method based on semantic similarity measurement and embedding representation,which calculates the semantic similarity between the text to be classified and the sentiment lexicon,and combines semantic distance and embedding-based features to classify sentiment,so it is helpful to solve the problem of insufficient use of semantic features.In this paper,the performance of sentiment classification is evaluated by the feature vector extraction from word vectors,sentiment lexicon matching and the proposed method.Experimental results show that this method is better than the comparison method.In the corpus of three e-commerce comment tests,the average F1 value of the proposed method reaches 83.46%,an increase of 8.26% compared with the comparison method.Among them,semantic classification extracted by combining word embedding and ECSD(E-Commerce Sentiment Dictionary) has the best effect,with a performance improvement of 9%,indicating that the extracted emotional semantic features can be enriched by combining semantic similarity,and the performance of emotional classification can be effectively improved.

Key words: Feature selection, Semantic similarity, Sentiment classification, Sentiment lexicon, Word embedding
