Challenge: Existing sentiment lexicons do not handle word sense and the concept of semantic compositionality is non-existent in simple lexiconic approaches.
Approach: They propose a lexicon-driven contextual attention mechanism and a contrastive co-attention mechanism that models contrasting polarities between all positive and negative words in a sentence.
Outcome: The proposed model outperforms many other neural baselines on sentiment classification tasks on multiple benchmark datasets.
