Publicly available sentiment dictionary for the Russian language KartaSlovSent

Abstract

In this paper, we describe the construction of a publicly available sentiment dictionary for the Russian language covering more than 46 thousand single words. The published dataset provides a polarity tag and a continuous polarity value from the [-1, 1] range for each of the words from a source lexicon. The paper describes a process of selecting words for the source lexicon, its part-of-speech structure, approach to data annotation using crowdsourcing, algorithm for analysis and processing of annotated data. The resulting dataset is then compared with two other sentiment dictionaries, collected independently. Dataset is available for download at https://github.com/dkulagin/kartaslov.
