Beta Distribution Guided Aspect-aware Graph for Aspect Category Sentiment Analysis with Affective Knowledge (2021.emnlp-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing methods for aspect category sentiment analysis do not necessarily occur in a sentence. |
| Approach: | They propose a Beta Distribution-guided aspect-aware graph construction based on external knowledge . they use aspect-related words as the pivots to derive aspect-relevant weights . |
| Outcome: | The proposed approach outperforms the state-of-the-art methods on 6 benchmark datasets. |
Transition-based Directed Graph Construction for Emotion-Cause Pair Extraction (2020.acl-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing methods to extract emotions and causes from unannotated text are pipelined, causing error propagation. |
| Approach: | They propose to transform a task into a procedure of parsing-like directed graph construction . they propose to generate a directed graph with labeled edges based on a sequence of actions . |
| Outcome: | The proposed method outperforms the state-of-the-art methods by 6.71% (p0.01) in F1 measure. |
Attention Optimization for Abstractive Document Summarization (D19-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Abstractive summarization models require attention to reproduce the most salient information. |
| Approach: | They propose to use local and global variances to augment the vanilla attention model to reproduce the most salient information and avoid repetitions. |
| Outcome: | The proposed attention refinement unit can reproduce the most salient information and avoid repetitions on CNN/Daily Mail dataset. |
ITA: Image-Text Alignments for Multi-Modal Named Entity Recognition (2022.naacl-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Recent work on Multi-modal Named Entity Recognition (MNER) relies on image information to model interactions between image and text representations. |
| Approach: | They propose to align image features into the textual space to better utilize attention mechanisms . they use regional object tags, captions and optical characters as visual contexts . |
| Outcome: | The proposed model can achieve state-of-the-art accuracy on multi-modal Named Entity Recognition datasets even without image information. |
A Knowledge Regularized Hierarchical Approach for Emotion Cause Analysis (D19-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Emotion cause analysis aims to identify the reasons behind emotions . previous models focus on learning architecture with local textual information . |
| Approach: | They propose a method to extract emotion cause with hierarchical neural model and knowledge-based regularizations by sentiment lexicon and common knowledge. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method outperforms baselines on two public datasets in different languages and outperformed competitive baselines by 2.08%. |
Multi-Modal Sarcasm Detection via Cross-Modal Graph Convolutional Network (2022.acl-long)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing studies on multimodal sarcasm detection using textual and visual information have been limited to text-only approaches. |
| Approach: | They propose to construct a cross-modal graph for each multi-modal instance to explicitly draw the ironic relations between textual and visual modalities. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model achieves state-of-the-art in multi-modal sarcasm detection. |
