Cross-lingual Multimodal Sentiment Analysis for Low-Resource Languages via Language Family Disentanglement and Rethinking Transfer (2025.findings-acl)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing multimodal sentiment analysis methods are limited to textual data and cannot handle multimodal scenarios. |
| Approach: | They propose a transfer learning framework that allows cross-lingual and cross-modal alignments and a language family disentanglement module that enhances the sharing of language universals within families. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method is superior to existing methods and can handle low-resource languages. |

Cross-lingual Transfer Can Worsen Bias in Sentiment Analysis (2023.emnlp-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing evidence of demographic bias in SA systems is limited to a handful of languages, and it is costly to create supervised training data in a new language. |

Learning Language-guided Adaptive Hyper-modality Representation for Multimodal Sentiment Analysis (2023.emnlp-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Multimodal Sentiment Analysis (MSA) is effective when using rich information from multiple sources, but the potential sentiment-irrelevant information across modalities may hinder the performance from being further improved. |
| Approach: | They propose an Adaptive Language-guided Multimodal Transformer (ALMT) that learns an irrelevance/conflict-suppressing representation from visual and audio features under guidance of language features at different scales. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model achieves state-of-the-art on several popular datasets and an abundance of ablation shows the effectiveness of the proposed model. |
