Parallel Multi-feature Attention on Neural Sentiment Classification

Authors Info & Claims
Published:07 December 2017Publication History

ABSTRACT

The analysis of the review's sentiment polarity is a fundamental task in NLP. However, most of the existing sentiment classification models only focus on extracting features but ignore features' own differences. Additionally, these models only pay attention to content information but ignore the user's ranking preference. To address these issues, we propose a novel Parallel Multi-feature Attention (PMA) neural network which concentrates on fine-grained information between user and product level content features. Moreover, we use multi-feature, user's ranking preference included, to improve the performance of sentiment classification. Experimental results on IMDB and Yelp datasets show that PMA model achieves state-of-the-art performance.
