Hey, Good thing that you are trying to finish this.
Well, I looked into my old notes, and the Delta tf-idf comes from the "Delta TFIDF: An Improved Feature Space for Sentiment Analysis" <http://ebiquity.umbc.edu/_file_directory_/papers/446.pdf> paper. I guess it is not very popular and apparently it has a drawback: it does not take into account the number of times a word occurs in each document while calculating the distribution amongst classes. At least that is what I wrote on my notes... As for the delta idf... If it helps, I can look into my old code cause I do not know what I was talking about. I guess it has to do somehow with the paper cited before.
