Sentiment analysis of Chinese micro-blog based on sentiment dictionary has become a challenging research subject in the field of artificial intelligence. However, due to insufficient sentiment words, Chinese micro-blog sentiment analysis is difficult to process high accuracy. Aimed at this issue, we propose a method for constructing multiple sentiment dictionaries, which mainly constructs original sentiment dictionary, emoji dictionary, and other related dictionaries. Among them, we have innovatively constructed a Chinese micro-blog new word sentiment dictionary. Multiple sentiment dictionaries increase the coverage of sentiment words. At the same time, we further analyze semantic rule sets between Chinese micro-blog texts and take the inter-sentence analysis rules and sentence pattern analysis rules into the sentiment analysis of Chinese micro-blog, which further improves the accuracy of Chinese micro-blog sentiment analysis. Finally, based on the method of multiple sentiment dictionaries and semantic rule sets, we propose an algorithm for Chinese micro-blog sentiment calculation from complex sentences to clauses and then from clauses to words, and finally combined with the emoji. This algorithm can accurately classify Chinese micro-blog into positive Chinese micro-blog, negative Chinese micro-blog, and neutral Chinese micro-blog. The experimental results show that this method has greatly improved the sentiment analysis of Chinese micro-blog.
