Challenge: Existing studies on personalized sentiment classification consider document reviews as overall text unit and incorporate backgrounds (i.e., user and product information) Existing methods for personalized sentiment modeling have quadratic costs that increase with text length and heterogeneous mixes of background information and textual information.
Approach: They propose a knowledge-enhanced and parameter-efficient layer normalization model that leverages pretrained checkpoints and background information into transformer structures.
Outcome: The proposed model can be used to improve pretrained language models in document reviews and incorporate background information with parameter-efficient fine-tuning and knowledge injecting.

Improving Document-Level Sentiment Analysis with User and Product Context (2020.coling-main)

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: Existing work that improves document-level sentiment analysis by encoding user and product information has been limited to considering only the text of the current review.
Approach: They propose to incorporate all available historical review text belonging to the author of the review in question and investigate the inclusion of his- torical reviews associated with the current product.
Outcome: The proposed model improves on IMDB, Yelp 2013 and Yelpan 2014 datasets by more than 2 percentage points in the best case.
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.
XDoc: Unified Pre-training for Cross-Format Document Understanding (2022.findings-emnlp)
