Abstract Modern technological advancements have made social media an essential component of daily life. Social media allow individuals to share thoughts, emotions, and ideas. Sentiment analysis plays the function of evaluating whether the sentiment of the text is positive, negative, neutral, or any other personal emotion to understand the sentiment context of the text. Sentiment analysis is essential in business and society because it impacts strategic decision-making. Sentiment analysis involves challenges due to lexical variation, an unlabeled dataset, and text distance correlations. The execution time increases due to the sequential processing of the sequence models. However,… More >

Abstract The emergence of new media in various fields has continuously strengthened the social aspect of social media. Netizens tend to express emotions in social interactions, and many people even use satire, metaphors, and other techniques to express some negative emotions, it is necessary to detect sarcasm in social comment data. For sarcasm, the more reference data modalities used, the better the experimental effect. This paper conducts research on sarcasm detection technology based on image-text fusion data. To effectively utilize the features of each modality, a feature reconstruction output algorithm is proposed. This algorithm is based… More >

Abstract Sentiment analysis is becoming increasingly important in today’s digital age, with social media being a significant source of user-generated content. The development of sentiment lexicons that can support languages other than English is a challenging task, especially for analyzing sentiment analysis in social media reviews. Most existing sentiment analysis systems focus on English, leaving a significant research gap in other languages due to limited resources and tools. This research aims to address this gap by building a sentiment lexicon for local languages, which is then used with a machine learning algorithm for efficient sentiment analysis.… More >

Abstract Sentiment analysis, a crucial task in discerning emotional tones within the text, plays a pivotal role in understanding public opinion and user sentiment across diverse languages. While numerous scholars conduct sentiment analysis in widely spoken languages such as English, Chinese, Arabic, Roman Arabic, and more, we come to grappling with resource-poor languages like Urdu literature which becomes a challenge. Urdu is a uniquely crafted language, characterized by a script that amalgamates elements from diverse languages, including Arabic, Parsi, Pashtu, Turkish, Punjabi, Saraiki, and more. As Urdu literature, characterized by distinct character sets and linguistic features,… More >

Abstract Sentiment analysis, the meta field of Natural Language Processing (NLP), attempts to analyze and identify the sentiments in the opinionated text data. People share their judgments, reactions, and feedback on the internet using various languages. Urdu is one of them, and it is frequently used worldwide. Urdu-speaking people prefer to communicate on social media in Roman Urdu (RU), an English scripting style with the Urdu language dialect. Researchers have developed versatile lexical resources for features-rich comprehensive languages, but limited linguistic resources are available to facilitate the sentiment classification of Roman Urdu. This effort encompasses extracting… More >

Abstract In recent years, deep learning methods have developed rapidly and found application in many fields, including natural language processing. In the field of aspect-level sentiment analysis, deep learning methods can also greatly improve the performance of models. However, previous studies did not take into account the relationship between user feature extraction and contextual terms. To address this issue, we use data feature extraction and deep learning combined to develop an aspect-level sentiment analysis method. To be specific, we design user comment feature extraction (UCFE) to distill salient features from users’ historical comments and transform them More >

Abstract Aspect-Based Sentiment Analysis (ABSA) is a fundamental area of research in Natural Language Processing (NLP). Within ABSA, Aspect Sentiment Quad Prediction (ASQP) aims to accurately identify sentiment quadruplets in target sentences, including aspect terms, aspect categories, corresponding opinion terms, and sentiment polarity. However, most existing research has focused on English datasets. Consequently, while ASQP has seen significant progress in English, the Chinese ASQP task has remained relatively stagnant. Drawing inspiration from methods applied to English ASQP, we propose Chinese generation templates and employ prompt-based instruction learning to enhance the model’s understanding of the task, ultimately More >

Abstract Multimodal sentiment analysis utilizes multimodal data such as text, facial expressions and voice to detect people’s attitudes. With the advent of distributed data collection and annotation, we can easily obtain and share such multimodal data. However, due to professional discrepancies among annotators and lax quality control, noisy labels might be introduced. Recent research suggests that deep neural networks (DNNs) will overfit noisy labels, leading to the poor performance of the DNNs. To address this challenging problem, we present a Multimodal Robust Meta Learning framework (MRML) for multimodal sentiment analysis to resist noisy labels and correlate More >

Abstract Multimodal sentiment analysis aims to understand people’s emotions and opinions from diverse data. Concatenating or multiplying various modalities is a traditional multi-modal sentiment analysis fusion method. This fusion method does not utilize the correlation information between modalities. To solve this problem, this paper proposes a model based on a multi-head attention mechanism. First, after preprocessing the original data. Then, the feature representation is converted into a sequence of word vectors and positional encoding is introduced to better understand the semantic and sequential information in the input sequence. Next, the input coding sequence is fed into… More >

Abstract Predicting election outcomes is a crucial undertaking, and various methods are employed for this purpose, such as traditional opinion polling, and social media analysis. However, traditional polling approaches often struggle to capture the intricate nuances of voter sentiment at local levels, resulting in a limited depth of analysis and understanding. In light of this challenge, this study focuses on predicting elections at the state/regional level along with the country level, intending to offer a comprehensive analysis and deeper insights into the electoral process. To achieve this, the study introduces the Location-Based Election Prediction Model (LEPM),… More >
