This paper describes the system that has been used by TeamX in SemEval-2014 Task 9 Subtask B. The system is a sentiment analyzer based on a supervised text categorization approach designed with following two concepts. Firstly, since lexicon features were shown to be effective in SemEval-2013 Task 2, various lexicons and pre-processors for them are introduced to enhance lexical information. Secondly, since a distribution of sentiment on tweets is known to be unbalanced, an weighting scheme is introduced to bias an output of a machine learner. For the test run, the system was tuned towards Twitter texts and successfully achieved high scoring results on Twitter data, average F1 70.96 on Twitter2014 and average F1 56.50 on Twitter2014Sarcasm.
