‘Aye’ or ‘No’? Speech-level Sentiment Analysis of Hansard UK Parliamentary Debate Transcripts (L18-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Transcripts of UK parliamentary debates are difficult for human readers to process due to the large quantity of textual data and the specialised language used. |
| Approach: | They propose to use annotated sentiment labels and labels derived from speakers' votes to classify the sentiment polarity of speakers as being either positive or negative towards motions proposed in the debates. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model outperforms existing models on a dataset of parliamentary debate transcripts using textual and contextual features. |
