In this paper we propose a twitter sentiment analytics that mines for opinion polarity about a given topic. Most of current semantic sentiment analytics depends on polarity lexicons. However, many key tone words are frequently bipolar. In this paper we demonstrate a technique which can accommodate the bipolarity of tone words by context sensitive tone lexicon learning mechanism where the context is modeled by the semantic neighborhood of the main target. Performance analysis shows that ability to contextualize the tone word polarity significantly improves the accuracy.
