A KGE Based Knowledge Enhancing Method for Aspect-Level Sentiment Classification

Abstract

ALSC (Aspect-level Sentiment Classification) is a fine-grained task in the field of NLP (Natural Language Processing) which aims to identify the sentiment toward a given aspect. In addition to exploiting the sentence semantics and syntax, current ALSC methods focus on introducing external knowledge as a supplementary to the sentence information. However, the integration of the three categories of information is still challenging. In this paper, a novel method is devised to effectively combine sufficient semantic and syntactic information as well as use of external knowledge. The proposed model contains a sentence encoder, a semantic learning module, a syntax learning module, a knowledge enhancement module, an information fusion module and a sentiment classifier. The semantic information and syntactic information are respectively extracted via a self-attention network and a graphical convolutional network. Specifically, the KGE (Knowledge Graph Embedding) is employed to enhance the feature representation of the aspect. Then, the attention-based gate mechanism is taken to fuse three types of information. We evaluated the proposed model on three benchmark datasets and the experimental results establish strong evidence of high accuracy.

E-Government 3.0: An AI Model to Use for Enhanced Local Democracies

“…Similarly, Yu et al [51] proposed a model containing a sentence encoder together with a semantic and syntax learning module for sentiment classifier, which is considered important for the present study on citizen petitions. If implemented in e-petitioning systems of government 3.0, the actual state of web apps will greatly improve, and citizens will have a more streamlined and efficient way to engage with their government.…”

A Semantic Enhancement Framework for Multimodal Sarcasm Detection

“…Despite the use of images, sentence syntax also plays a pivotal role in sarcasm detection, being widely applied to text-image interaction processes. In line with the advances in natural language processing and not just syntactic structure, semantic information also affects the sentiment delivery [9][10][11]. In the state-of-the-art sarcasm-detecting methods, the analysis of semantics is, however, still limited.…”
