Sentiment analysis using deep learning requires a large-scale train set labeled sentiment. However, direct labeling of sentiment by humans is time and cost-constrained, and it is not easy to collect the required data for sentiment analysis from many data. In the present work, to solve the existing problems, the existing sentiment lexicon was used to assign sentiment score, and when there was sentiment transformation element, the sentiment score was reset through dependency parsing and morphological analysis for automatic generation of large-scale train set labeled with the sentiment. The Top-k data with high sentiment score was extracted. Sentiment transformation elements include sentiment reversal, sentiment activation, and sentiment deactivation. Our experimental results reveal the generation of a large-scale train set in a shorter time than manual labeling and improvement in the performance of deep learning with an increase in the amount of train set. The accuracy of the model using only sentiment lexicon was 80.17% and the accuracy of the proposed model, which includes natural language processing technology was 89.17%. Overall, a 9% improvement was observed.
