In this paper, a sentence‐level sentiment analysis method is proposed to deal with sentiment measurement and classification problems. It is developed from a model called the synthetic and computational language model (SCLM), which represents modifying and modified information, respectively, using matrices and vectors. In the proposed method, a global modifying matrix of a sentence is constructed, the determinant value of this matrix is calculated and adjusted, and then the final value is used as the sentiment value of the sentence. Regression experiment shows that the deviation between the output sentiment and the target sentiment does not exceed a class distance of five classes. The classification experiment shows that the proposed method has improved most of the performance compared to the simplified SCLM and in some cases, such as in ‘very positive’ class and ‘very negative’ class, reaches higher precision performance than the baseline method. © 2018 Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan.
