Enhancing a Lexicon of Polarity Shifters through the Supervised Classification of Shifting Directions (2020.lrec-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing polarity shifter lexica only specify when a word can cause shifting, but do not specify when this is limited to a single shifting direction. |
| Approach: | They propose a classifier that determines the shifting direction of polarity shifters by using resource-driven features and data-driven feature. |
| Outcome: | The proposed classifier enhances the largest available polarity shifter lexicon. |

Transformers in the loop: Polarity in neural models of language (2022.acl-long)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Recent Transformer-based language representation models (LRMs) show impressive results on practical text analysis tasks, but do they have access to complex linguistic notions? |
| Approach: | They propose to use polarity as a case study to compare metrics derived from language models to human judgments obtained in psycholinguistic experiments. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model is more accurate than linguistic theory predictions for polarity, and allows us to use language models to discover new insights into natural language grammar beyond existing linguistic theories. |
Enhancing General Sentiment Lexicons for Domain-Specific Use (C18-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Lexicon based methods for sentiment analysis rely on high quality polarity lexicons. |
| Approach: | They evaluate SentProp framework for inducing domain-specific polarities from word embeddings and use it to enhance a general-purpose lexicon for use in the political domain. |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework performs worse than the original lexicon in an out-domain task, showing that the words added and the polarity shifts applied are domain-specific and do not translate well to an out domain setting. |
