Structured Sentiment Analysis as Dependency Graph Parsing (2021.acl-long)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Structured sentiment analysis attempts to extract full opinion tuples from a text, but has been subdivided into smaller and smaller sub-tasks, e.g., target extraction or targeted polarity classification. |
| Approach: | They propose a framework which jointly predicts all elements of an opinion tuple and their relations by using dependency graph parsing. |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework improves on five datasets in English, Norwegian, Basque, and Catalan and refining the sentiment graphs with syntactic dependency information further improves results. |

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. |
