A Comprehensive Analysis of Preprocessing for Word Representation Learning in Affective Tasks (2020.acl-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Affective tasks such as sentiment analysis, emotion classification and sarcasm detection have enjoyed great popularity in recent years. |
| Approach: | They conduct a comprehensive analysis of the role of preprocessing techniques in affective analysis based on word vector models. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model is the first of its kind and provides useful insights on the role of each preprocessing technique when applied at the training phase, commonly ignored in pretrained word vector models, and/or at the downstream task phase. |

| Outcome: | The proposed models show that they perform well on review classification and cross-lingual word sentiment prediction. |
Semantic Simplification for Sentiment Classification (2022.emnlp-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Recent work on document-level sentiment classification has shown that the sentiment in the original text is often hard to capture . previous studies focus on predicting the overall sentiment from original text using statistical or neural models, but these methods either heavily rely on human knowledge or suffer from the complex structure of the text. |
| Approach: | They propose a document-level sentiment classification model that enhances the original text with a simplified clause to intensify its sentiment. |
| Outcome: | Empirical studies show that the proposed model over strong baselines is effective over several strong baseline models. |
