Knowledge-oriented Sentiment-level Embedding for Sentiment Classification

Published: 07 February 2020 Publication History

Abstract

Sentiment classification in document-level is an important task in Sentiment Analysis (SA). The existing methods learn mainly information from data for identifying the sentiment polarity of a document. We reveal that the sentiment information such as polarity can be an important external knowledge resource for classification. Our proposals are based on this idea and construct the models by employing hierarchical attention network and creating sentiment-level embedding. Furthermore, we also develop the attention mechanism by allowing it to receive both lexicon-level and sentiment-level information to improve the effectiveness of the model. The experiments on the IMDB movie reviews and Review Polarity 2.0 show good performance on document-level sentiment classification.
