Text Sentiment Analysis of German Multilevel Features Based on Self-Attention Mechanism

In this paper, we propose a multilevel feature representation method that combines word-level features, such as German morphology and slang, and sentence-level features, such as special symbols and English-translated sentiment information, and build a deep learning model for German sentiment classification based on the self-attentive mechanism, in order to address the characteristics of German social media texts that are colloquial, irregular, and diverse. Compared with the existing studies, this model not only has the most obvious improvement effect but also has better feature extraction and classification ability for German emotion.

Weibo Text Sentiment Analysis Based on BERT and Deep Learning

With the rapid increase of public opinion data, the technology of Weibo text sentiment analysis plays a more and more significant role in monitoring network public opinion. Due to the sparseness and high-dimensionality of text data and the complex semantics of natural language, sentiment analysis tasks face tremendous challenges. To solve the above problems, this paper proposes a new model based on BERT and deep learning for Weibo text sentiment analysis. Specifically, first using BERT to represent the text with dynamic word vectors and using the processed sentiment dictionary to enhance the sentiment features of the vectors; then adopting the BiLSTM to extract the contextual features of the text, the processed vector representation is weighted by the attention mechanism. After weighting, using the CNN to extract the important local sentiment features in the text, finally the processed sentiment feature representation is classified. A comparative experiment was conducted on the Weibo text dataset collected during the COVID-19 epidemic; the results showed that the performance of the proposed model was significantly improved compared with other similar models.

TASKS AND METHODS OF TEXT SENTIMENT ANALYSIS

The purpose of this article is to study one of the methods of social networks analysis – text sentiment analysis. Today, social media has become a big data base that social network analysis is used for various purposes – from setting up targeted advertising for a cosmetics store to preventing riots at the state level. There are various methods for analyzing social networks such as graph method, text sentiment analysis, audio, and video object analysis. Among them, sentiment analysis is widely used for political, social, consumer research, and also for cybersecurity. Since the analysis of the sentiment of the text involves the analysis of the emotional opinions expressed in the text, the first step is to define the term opinion. An opinion can be simple, that is, a positive, negative or neutral emotion towards a particular object or its aspect. Comparison is also an opinion, but devoid of emotional connotation. To work with simple opinions, the first task of text sentiment analysis is to classify the text. There are three levels of classifications: classification at the text level, at the level of a sentence, and at the aspect level of the object. After classifying the text at the desired level, the next task is to extract structured data from unstructured information. The problem can be solved using the five-tuple method. One of the important elements of a tuple is the aspect in which an opinion is usually expressed. Next, aspect-based sentiment analysis is applied, which involves identifying aspects of the desired object and assessing the polarity of mood for each aspect. This task is divided into two sub-tasks such as aspect extraction and aspect classification. Sentiment analysis has limitations such as the definition of sarcasm and difficulty of working with abbreviated words.

BERTtoCNN: Similarity-preserving enhanced knowledge distillation for stance detection

In recent years, text sentiment analysis has attracted wide attention, and promoted the rise and development of stance detection research. The purpose of stance detection is to determine the author’s stance (favor or against) towards a specific target or proposition in the text. Pre-trained language models like BERT have been proven to perform well in this task. However, in many reality scenes, they are usually very expensive in computation, because such heavy models are difficult to implement with limited resources. To improve the efficiency while ensuring the performance, we propose a knowledge distillation model BERTtoCNN, which combines the classic distillation loss and similarity-preserving loss in a joint knowledge distillation framework. On the one hand, BERTtoCNN provides an efficient distillation process to train a novel ‘student’ CNN structure from a much larger ‘teacher’ language model BERT. On the other hand, based on the similarity-preserving loss function, BERTtoCNN guides the training of a student network, so that input pairs with similar (dissimilar) activation in the teacher network have similar (dissimilar) activation in the student network. We conduct experiments and test the proposed model on the open Chinese and English stance detection datasets. The experimental results show that our model outperforms the competitive baseline methods obviously.

Intermodal Sentiment Analysis for Images with Text Captions Using the VGGNET Technique

More individuals actively express their opinions and attitudes in social media through advanced improvements such as visual content and text captions. Sentiment analysis for visuals such as images, video, and GIFs has become an emerging research trend in understanding social involvement and opinion prediction. Numerous individual researchers have obtained good progress in outcomes for text sentiment analysis and image sentiment analysis. The combination of image sentiment analysis with text caption analysis needs more research. This article presents a VGG Network-based Intermodal Sentiment Analysis Model (VGGNET-ISAM) for transferring the connection between texts to images. A mapping process is developed using the VGG Network for gathering the opinion information as numerical vectors. The Active Deep Learning (ADL) classifier is used for opinion prediction from the obtained information vectors. Simulation experiments are carried out to evaluate the proposed approach. The findings show that the model outperforms and gives better solutions with high accuracy, precision with low delay, and low error rate.
