Keep Calm and Switch On! Preserving Sentiment and Fluency in Semantic Text Exchange (D19-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing methods to adjust semantics of text while preserving its style have not been investigated to the best of our knowledge. |
| Approach: | They propose to use masking (replacement) rate threshold as an adjustable parameter to control the amount of semantic change in the text. |
| Outcome: | The proposed pipeline outperforms baseline models on Yelp reviews, Amazon reviews, and news headlines in terms of its Semantic Text Exchange Score (STES) |

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. |
