QCRI at SemEval-2016 Task 4: Probabilistic Methods for Binary and Ordinal Quantification
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe the systems we have used for participating in Subtasks D (binary quantification) and E (ordinal quantification) of SemEval-2016 Task 4 “Sentiment Analysis in Twitter”. The binary quantification system uses a “Probabilistic Classify and Count” (PCC) approach that leverages the calibrated probabilities obtained from the output of an SVM. The ordinal quantification approach uses an ordinal tree of PCC binary quantifiers, where the tree is generated via a splitting criterion that minimizes the ordinal quantification loss.

ISTI-CNR at SemEval-2016 Task 4: Quantification on an Ordinal Scale
This paper details on the participation of ISTICNR to task 4 of Semeval 2016. Among the five subtasks, special attention has been paid to the five-point scale quantification subtask. The quantification method we propose is based on the observation that a standard document-by-document regression method usually has a bias towards assigning high prevalence labels. Our method models such bias with ...

This paper describes our deep learning-based approach to sentiment analysis in Twitter as part of SemEval-2016 Task 4. We use a convolutional neural network to determine sentiment and participate in all subtasks, i.e. two-point, three-point, and five-point scale sentiment classification and two-point and five-point scale sentiment quantification. We achieve competitive results for two-point sca...

This paper describes the fifth year of the Sentiment Analysis in Twitter task. SemEval-2017 Task 4 continues with a rerun of the subtasks of SemEval-2016 Task 4, which include identifying the overall sentiment of the tweet, sentiment towards a topic with classification on a twopoint and on a five-point ordinal scale, and quantification of the distribution of sentiment towards a topic across a n...

In this paper we describe our deep learning approach for solving both two-, threeand fiveclass tweet polarity classification, and twoand five-class quantification. We first trained a convolutional neural network using pretrained Twitter word embeddings, so that we could extract the hidden activation values from the hidden layers once some input had been fed to the network. These values were the...
متن کاملYZU-NLP Team at SemEval-2016 Task 4: Ordinal Sentiment Classification Using a Recurrent Convolutional Network
Sentiment analysis of tweets has attracted considerable attention recently for potential use in commercial and public sector applications. Typical sentiment analysis classifies the sentiment of sentences into several discrete classes (e.g., positive and negative). The aim of Task 4 subtask C of SemEval-2016 is to classify the sentiment of tweets into an ordinal five-point scale. In this paper, ...
