Improving Sentiment Classification Performance through Coaching Architectures.

ABSTRACT: Intelligent systems have been developed for years to solve specific tasks automatically. An important issue emerges when the information used by these systems exhibits a dynamic nature and evolves. This fact adds a level of complexity that makes these systems prone to a noticeable worsening of their performance. Thus, their capabilities have to be upgraded to address these new requirements. Furthermore, this problem is even more challenging when the information comes from human individuals and their interactions through language. This issue happens more easily and forcefully in the specific domain of Sentiment Analysis, where feelings and opinions of humans are in constant evolution. In this context, systems are trained with an enormous corpus of textual content, or they include an extensive set of words and their related sentiment values. These solutions are usually static and generic, making their manual upgrading almost unworkable. In this paper, an automatic and interactive coaching architecture is proposed. It includes a ML framework and a dictionary-based system both trained for a specific domain. These systems converse about the outcomes obtained during their respective learning stages by simulating human interactive coaching sessions. This leads to an Active Learning process where the dictionary-based system acquires new information and improves its performance. More than 800, 000 tweets have been gathered and processed for experiments. Outstanding results were obtained when the proposed architecture was used. Also, the lexicon was updated with the prior and new words related to the corpus used which is important to reach a better sentiment analysis classification.

Advancing sentiment classification through a population game model approach.

Project description:Computational Sentiment Analysis involves the automation of human emotion comprehension by categorizing sentiments as positive, negative, or neutral. In the contemporary digital environment, the extensive volume of social media content presents significant challenges for manual analysis, thereby necessitating the development and implementation of automated analytical tools. To address the limitations of existing techniques, which heavily rely on machine learning and extensive dataset pre-training, we propose an innovative unsupervised approach for sentiment classification. This novel methodology is grounded in game theory concepts, particularly the population game model, offering a promising solution by circumventing the need for extensive training procedures. We extract two textual features from review comments, namely context score and emotion score. Leveraging lexicon databases and numeric scores, this cognitive mathematical framework is language-independent. Competitive results are demonstrated across various domains (hotels, restaurants, electronic devices, etc.), and the efficacy of the proposed work is validated in two languages (English and Hindi). The highest accuracy recorded for the English domain dataset is 89%, while electronic Hindi reviews attain an 84% accuracy rate. The proposed model exhibits domain and language independence, validated through statistical analyses confirming the significance of the findings. The framework demonstrates noteworthy rationality and coherence in its outcomes.

Information set supported deep learning architectures for improving noisy image classification.

Project description:Deep learning models have been widely used in many supervised learning applications. However, these models suffer from overfitting due to various types of uncertainty with deteriorating performance when facing data biases, class imbalance, or noise propagation. The Information-Set Deep learning (ISDL) architectures with four variants are developed by integrating information set theory and deep learning principles to address the critical problem of the absence of robust deep learning models. There is a description of the ISDL architectures, learning algorithms, and analytic workflows. The performance of the ISDL models and standard architectures is evaluated using a noise-corrupted benchmark dataset. The experimental results show that the ISDL models can efficiently handle noise-dominated uncertainty and outperform peer architectures.

Explaining Sentiment Classification with Synthetic Exemplars and Counter-Exemplars

Project description:We present xspells, a model-agnostic local approach for explaining the decisions of a black box model for sentiment classification of short texts. The explanations provided consist of a set of exemplar sentences and a set of counter-exemplar sentences. The former are examples classified by the black box with the same label as the text to explain. The latter are examples classified with a different label (a form of counter-factuals). Both are close in meaning to the text to explain, and both are meaningful sentences – albeit they are synthetically generated. xspells generates neighbors of the text to explain in a latent space using Variational Autoencoders for encoding text and decoding latent instances. A decision tree is learned from randomly generated neighbors, and used to drive the selection of the exemplars and counter-exemplars. We report experiments on two datasets showing that xspells outperforms the well-known lime method in terms of quality of explanations, fidelity, and usefulness, and that is comparable to it in terms of stability.

Improving wastewater-based epidemiology performance through streamlined automation.

Project description:Wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) has enabled us to describe Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infections in populations. However, implementation of wastewater monitoring of SARS-CoV-2 is limited due to the need for expert staff, expensive equipment, and prolonged processing times. As WBE increases in scope (beyond SARS-CoV-2) and scale (beyond developed regions), there is a need to make WBE processes simpler, cheaper, and faster. We developed an automated workflow based on a simplified method termed exclusion-based sample preparation (ESP). Our automated workflow takes 40 min from raw wastewater to purified RNA, which is several times faster than conventional WBE methods. The total assay cost per sample/replicate is $6.50 which includes consumables and reagents for concentration, extraction, and RT-qPCR quantification. The assay complexity is reduced significantly, as extraction and concentration steps are integrated and automated. The high recovery efficiency of the automated assay (84.5 ± 25.4%) yielded an improved Limit of Detection (LoDAutomated=40 copies/mL) compared to the manual process (LoDManual=206 copies/mL), increasing analytical sensitivity. We validated the performance of the automated workflow by comparing it with the manual method using wastewater samples from several locations. The results from the two methods correlated strongly (r = 0.953), while the automated method was shown to be more precise. In 83% of the samples, the automated method showed lower variation between replicates, which is likely due to higher technical errors in the manual process e.g., pipetting. Our automated wastewater workflow can support the expansion of WBE in the fight against Coronavirus Disease of 2019 (COVID-19) and other epidemics.

Lexicon-enhanced sentiment analysis framework using rule-based classification scheme.

Project description:With the rapid increase in social networks and blogs, the social media services are increasingly being used by online communities to share their views and experiences about a particular product, policy and event. Due to economic importance of these reviews, there is growing trend of writing user reviews to promote a product. Nowadays, users prefer online blogs and review sites to purchase products. Therefore, user reviews are considered as an important source of information in Sentiment Analysis (SA) applications for decision making. In this work, we exploit the wealth of user reviews, available through the online forums, to analyze the semantic orientation of words by categorizing them into +ive and -ive classes to identify and classify emoticons, modifiers, general-purpose and domain-specific words expressed in the public's feedback about the products. However, the un-supervised learning approach employed in previous studies is becoming less efficient due to data sparseness, low accuracy due to non-consideration of emoticons, modifiers, and presence of domain specific words, as they may result in inaccurate classification of users' reviews. Lexicon-enhanced sentiment analysis based on Rule-based classification scheme is an alternative approach for improving sentiment classification of users' reviews in online communities. In addition to the sentiment terms used in general purpose sentiment analysis, we integrate emoticons, modifiers and domain specific terms to analyze the reviews posted in online communities. To test the effectiveness of the proposed method, we considered users reviews in three domains. The results obtained from different experiments demonstrate that the proposed method overcomes limitations of previous methods and the performance of the sentiment analysis is improved after considering emoticons, modifiers, negations, and domain specific terms when compared to baseline methods.

Waterproof architectures through subcomponent self-assembly.

Project description:Metal-organic containers are readily prepared through self-assembly, but achieving solubility and stability in water remains challenging due to ligand insolubility and the reversible nature of the self-assembly process. Here we have developed conditions for preparing a broad range of architectures that are both soluble and kinetically stable in water through metal(ii)-templated (MII = CoII, NiII, ZnII, CdII) subcomponent self-assembly. Although these structures are composed of hydrophobic and poorly-soluble subcomponents, sulfate counterions render them water-soluble, and they remain intact indefinitely in aqueous solution. Two strategies are presented. Firstly, stability increased with metal-ligand bond strength, maximising when NiII was used as a template. Architectures that disassembled when CoII, ZnII and CdII templates were employed could be directly prepared from NiSO4 in water. Secondly, a higher density of connections between metals and ligands within a structure, considering both ligand topicity and degree of metal chelation, led to increased stability. When tritopic amines were used to build highly chelating ligands around ZnII and CdII templates, cryptate-like water-soluble structures were formed using these labile ions. Our synthetic platform provides a unified understanding of the elements of aqueous stability, allowing predictions of the stability of metal-organic cages that have not yet been prepared.

Reverse engineering recurrent networks for sentiment classification reveals line attractor dynamics.

Project description:Recurrent neural networks (RNNs) are a widely used tool for modeling sequential data, yet they are often treated as inscrutable black boxes. Given a trained recurrent network, we would like to reverse engineer it-to obtain a quantitative, interpretable description of how it solves a particular task. Even for simple tasks, a detailed understanding of how recurrent networks work, or a prescription for how to develop such an understanding, remains elusive. In this work, we use tools from dynamical systems analysis to reverse engineer recurrent networks trained to perform sentiment classification, a foundational natural language processing task. Given a trained network, we find fixed points of the recurrent dynamics and linearize the nonlinear system around these fixed points. Despite their theoretical capacity to implement complex, high-dimensional computations, we find that trained networks converge to highly interpretable, low-dimensional representations. In particular, the topological structure of the fixed points and corresponding linearized dynamics reveal an approximate line attractor within the RNN, which we can use to quantitatively understand how the RNN solves the sentiment analysis task. Finally, we find this mechanism present across RNN architectures (including LSTMs, GRUs, and vanilla RNNs) trained on multiple datasets, suggesting that our findings are not unique to a particular architecture or dataset. Overall, these results demonstrate that surprisingly universal and human interpretable computations can arise across a range of recurrent networks.

Domain adaptive learning for multi realm sentiment classification on big data.

Project description:Machine learning techniques that rely on textual features or sentiment lexicons can lead to erroneous sentiment analysis. These techniques are especially vulnerable to domain-related difficulties, especially when dealing in Big data. In addition, labeling is time-consuming and supervised machine learning algorithms often lack labeled data. Transfer learning can help save time and obtain high performance with fewer datasets in this field. To cope this, we used a transfer learning-based Multi-Domain Sentiment Classification (MDSC) technique. We are able to identify the sentiment polarity of text in a target domain that is unlabeled by looking at reviews in a labelled source domain. This research aims to evaluate the impact of domain adaptation and measure the extent to which transfer learning enhances sentiment analysis outcomes. We employed transfer learning models BERT, RoBERTa, ELECTRA, and ULMFiT to improve the performance in sentiment analysis. We analyzed sentiment through various transformer models and compared the performance of LSTM and CNN. The experiments are carried on five publicly available sentiment analysis datasets, namely Hotel Reviews (HR), Movie Reviews (MR), Sentiment140 Tweets (ST), Citation Sentiment Corpus (CSC), and Bioinformatics Citation Corpus (BCC), to adapt multi-target domains. The performance of numerous models employing transfer learning from diverse datasets demonstrating how various factors influence the outputs.

Deep learning model calibration for improving performance in class-imbalanced medical image classification tasks.

Project description:In medical image classification tasks, it is common to find that the number of normal samples far exceeds the number of abnormal samples. In such class-imbalanced situations, reliable training of deep neural networks continues to be a major challenge, therefore biasing the predicted class probabilities toward the majority class. Calibration has been proposed to alleviate some of these effects. However, there is insufficient analysis explaining whether and when calibrating a model would be beneficial. In this study, we perform a systematic analysis of the effect of model calibration on its performance on two medical image modalities, namely, chest X-rays and fundus images, using various deep learning classifier backbones. For this, we study the following variations: (i) the degree of imbalances in the dataset used for training; (ii) calibration methods; and (iii) two classification thresholds, namely, default threshold of 0.5, and optimal threshold from precision-recall (PR) curves. Our results indicate that at the default classification threshold of 0.5, the performance achieved through calibration is significantly superior (p < 0.05) to using uncalibrated probabilities. However, at the PR-guided threshold, these gains are not significantly different (p > 0.05). This observation holds for both image modalities and at varying degrees of imbalance.

Designing a hybrid dimension reduction for improving the performance of Amharic news document classification.

Project description:The volume of Amharic digital documents has grown rapidly in recent years. As a result, automatic document categorization is highly essential. In this paper, we present a novel dimension reduction approach for improving classification accuracy by combining feature selection and feature extraction. The new dimension reduction method utilizes Information Gain (IG), Chi-square test (CHI), and Document Frequency (DF) to select important features and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to refine the features that have been selected. We evaluate the proposed dimension reduction method with a dataset containing 9 news categories. Our experimental results verified that the proposed dimension reduction method outperforms other methods. Classification accuracy with the new dimension reduction is 92.60%, which is 13.48%, 16.51% and 10.19% higher than with IG, CHI, and DF respectively. Further work is required since classification accuracy still decreases as we reduce the feature size to save computational time.
