The OL-DAWE Model: Tweet Polarity Sentiment Analysis With Data Augmentation

摘要

Introducing negative items into sentences can shift the polarity of emotional words and leads to misclassification. Therefore, dealing with the negative item is indispensable to the analysis of the polarity of tweets. This paper first uses the combination of Conjunction Analysis (CA) technology and Punctuation Mark Identification (PMI) technology to detect negation cue and its scope. Besides, we propose the OL-DAWE model, which uses Data Augmentation(DA) technology to generate opposed tweets according to the original tweet. The model extends the training data set, and test data set and learns the original and opposed sides of the tweet in the training module. When predicting the polarity of tweets, the OL-DAWE model considers the positive degree (negative degree) of the original tweet and the negative degree (positive degree) of its opposed tweet. We conduct experiments on two real-world data sets. We prove the effectiveness of our combined technology in negation processing and show that the OL-DAWE model in the polarity sentiment analysis of tweets is better than the baseline for its simplicity and high efficiency.
