[en] In this paper, we present a selection approach designed for personalized sentiment analysis with the aim of extracting related information from a user's history. Analyzing a person's past is key to modeling individuality and understanding the current state of the person. We consider a user's expressions in the past as historical information, and target posts from social platforms for which Twitter texts are chosen as exemplary. While implementing the personalized model PERSEUS, we observed information loss due to the lack of flexibility regarding the design of the input sequence. To compensate this issue, we provide a procedure for information selection based on the similarities in the topics of a user's historical posts. Evaluation is conducted comparing different similarity measures, and improvements are seen with the proposed method.
