Abstract: With the emergence of a large amount of short texts, using short text classification technology to mine a large amount of effective information in short text has become a hot topic of research. For the feature selection method in the current classification process, which only considers the word frequency, and the short text is short in length and sparse keywords, the paper proposes a short text classification method based on emotional features, combined with TF-IDF, the weight of the feature words is modified with the 〖JP2〗sentiment dictionary, which can effectively improve the weight of the feature words with distinguishing ability, and avoid the problem of low accuracy caused by traditional methods which do not consider emotion but only word frequency. Using the Chinese corpus of teacher Tan Songbo for short text classification, through comparative experiments, the effectiveness of the method is verified.

Key words: short text classification, feature extraction, emotional features, TF-IDF
