1 Which set correctly names the three main classes of sentiment analysis techniques identified in the survey?

  • Machine learning, lexicon-based, and hybrid
  • Parsing, translation, and summarization
  • Clustering, stemming, and indexing
  • Neural, symbolic, and probabilistic only

The survey groups classification techniques into machine learning, lexicon-based, and hybrid methods.

2 Which of the following are machine learning subgroups mentioned in the survey?

Select all that apply

  • Supervised
  • Semi-supervised
  • Unsupervised
  • Dictionary-based

The survey divides machine learning approaches into supervised, semi-supervised, and unsupervised methods. Dictionary-based belongs to lexicon-based approaches.

3 The survey describes supervised learning as generally having good accuracy but high cost.

  • True
  • False

This is true: supervised learning is presented as accurate but costly because of labeled data and training requirements.

4 What is a major advantage of unsupervised learning according to the survey?

  • It always produces the highest accuracy
  • It does not require much human participation
  • It eliminates all domain effects
  • It guarantees stable results

The survey notes reduced human participation as a key strength of unsupervised approaches.

5 Lexicon-based methods require labeled training samples in the same way supervised learning does.

  • True
  • False

This is false: lexicon-based methods are noted as not requiring labeled training samples.
