Abstract
In this paper, we describe the participation of the SentiME++ system to the SemEval 2017 Task 4A “Sentiment Analysis in Twitter” that aims to classify whether English tweets are of positive, neutral or negative sentiment. SentiME++ is an ensemble approach to sentiment analysis that leverages stacked generalization to automatically combine the predictions of five state-of-the-art sentiment classifiers. SentiME++ achieved officially 61.30% F1-score, ranking 12th out of 38 participants.
