Character-to-Character Sentiment Analysis in Shakespeare's Plays
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present an automatic method for analyzing sentiment dynamics between characters in plays. This literary format’s structured dialogue allows us to make assumptions about who is participating in a conversation. Once we have an idea of who a character is speaking to, the sentiment in his or her speech can be attributed accordingly, allowing us to generate lists of a character’s enemies and allies as well as pinpoint scenes critical to a character’s emotional development. Results of experiments on Shakespeare’s plays are presented along with discussion of how this work can be extended to unstructured texts (i.e. novels).

Sub-character components of Chinese characters carry important semantic information, and recent studies have shown that utilizing this information can improve performance on core semantic tasks. In this paper, we hypothesize that in addition to semantic information, sub-character components may also carry emotional information, and that utilizing it should improve performance on sentiment analy...

Binary sentiment classification, or sentiment analysis, is the task of computing the sentiment of a document, i.e. whether it contains broadly positive or negative opinions.

Text representation in Chinese sentiment analysis is usually working at word or character level. In this paper, we prove that radical-level processing could greatly improve sentiment classification performance. In particular, we propose two types of Chinese radical-based hierarchical embeddings. The embeddings incorporate not only semantics at radical and character level, but also sentiment inf...

Tweet-level sentiment classification in Twitter social networking has many challenges: exploiting syntax, semantic, sentiment and context in tweets. To address these problems, we propose a novel approach to sentiment analysis that uses lexicon features for building lexicon embeddings (LexW2Vs) and generates character attention vectors (CharAVs) by using a Deep Convolutional Neural Network (Deep...
