Challenge: Existing approaches to sentiment analysis in low-resource languages lack annotated corpora or do not capture sentiment information.
Approach: They propose a model that represents sentiment in a source and target language without annotated corpus.
Outcome: The proposed model outperforms state-of-the-art methods on four out of six setups and captures complementary information to machine translation.

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: Existing domain adaptation methods for sentiment analysis are sensitive to domain differences, resulting in classifiers that perform poorly on new domains.
Approach: They propose a domain adaptation problem as an embedding projection task using two mono-domain embeddable spaces and a bi-domain space to project across domains and predict sentiment.
Outcome: The proposed model performs better on domains similar to state-of-the-art methods while requiring longer training times.

Word Embeddings for Code-Mixed Language Processing (D18-1)

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: Existing bilingual word embedding techniques are not ideal for code-mixed text processing and there is a need for learning multilingual word embeds from code-mixed texts.
Approach: They propose to use bilingual word embedding techniques to train skip-grams on synthetic code-mixed text generated through linguistic models of code- mixing to perform two tasks.
Outcome: The proposed embedding technique performs better on semantic and syntactic tasks than the existing embeddable techniques on sentiment analysis and POS tagging tasks.
