Abstract
We argue in this paper that in order to properly capture opinion and sentiment expressed in texts or dialogs any system needs a deep linguistic processing approach. As in other systems, we used ontology matching and concept search, based on standard lexical resources, but a natural language understanding system is still required to spot fundamental and pervasive linguistic phenomena. We implemented these additions to VENSES system and the results of the evaluation are compared to those reported in the state-of-the-art systems in sentiment analysis and opinion mining. We also provide a critical review of the current benchmark datasets as we realized that very often sentiment and opinion is not properly modeled.

Sentiment Analysis and Classification Using Deep Semantic Information and Contextual Knowledge
Computers, Materials & Continua
Sentiment analysis (AS) is one of the basic research directions in natural language processing (NLP), it is widely adopted for news, product review, and politics. Aspect-based sentiment analysis (ABSA) aims at identifying the sentiment polarity of a given target context, previous existing model of sentiment analysis possesses the issue of the insufficient exaction of features which results in low accuracy. Hence this research work develops a deep-semantic and contextual knowledge networks (DSCNet). DSCNet tends to exploit the semantic and contextual knowledge to understand the context and enhance the accuracy based on given aspects. At first temporal relationships are established then deep semantic knowledge and contextual knowledge are introduced. Further, a deep integration layer is introduced to measure the importance of features for efficient extraction of different dimensions. Novelty of DSCNet model lies in introducing the deep contextual. DSCNet is evaluated on three datasets i.e., Restaurant, Laptop, and Twitter dataset considering different deep learning (DL) metrics like precision, recall, accuracy, and Macro-F1 score. Also, comparative analysis is carried out with different baseline methods in terms of accuracy and Macro-F1 score. DSCNet achieves 92.59% of accuracy on restaurant dataset, 86.99% of accuracy on laptop dataset and 78.76% of accuracy on Twitter dataset.
Natural language understanding challenges for sentiment analysis tasks and deep learning solutions
International Journal of Informatics and Communication Technology (IJ-ICT)
When it comes to purchasing a product or attending an event, most people want to know what others think about it first. To construct a recommendation system, a user's likeness of a product can be measured numerically, such as a five-star rating or a binary like or dislike rating. If you don't have a numerical rating system, the product review text can still be used to make recommendations. Natural language comprehension is a branch of computer science that aims to make machines capable of natural language understanding (NLU). Negative, neutral, or positive sentiment analysis (SA) or opinion mining (OM) is an algorithmic method for automatically determining the polarity of comments and reviews based on their content. Emotional intelligence relies on text categorization to work. In the age of big data, there are countless ways to use sentiment analysis, yet SA remains a challenge. As a result of its enormous importance, sentiment analysis is a hotly debated topic in the commer...
Deep Learning for Sentiment Analysis
2018
The opinions of people and others are one of the main influencers of human behaviour and activities. Therefore, individuals and organizations often consult with others to understand their opinions or attitudes towards a certain topic, before making decisions. Also, for telecommunication enterprises to survive, they need to be attentive to their customers’ opinions. Sentiment analysis is a technique that is often used by organizations to categorize and understand the underlying attitude of a person towards an entity, product, topic, etc. Though it has been traditionally performed using text-based sources, it has been suggested that other modalities should be explored. One such alternative to text-based sources is video recordings of people using or reviewing content. Videos can contain multiple modals including text, voice, and facial expressions, which can be used to detect a person’s attitude towards a topic.

Manifesto of Deep Learning Architecture for Aspect Level Sentiment Analysis to extract customer criticism
ICST transactions on scalable information systems, 2024
Sentiment analysis, a critical task in natural language processing, aims to automatically identify and classify the sentiment expressed in textual data. Aspect-level sentiment analysis focuses on determining sentiment at a more granular level, targeting specific aspects or features within a piece of text. In this paper, we explore various techniques for sentiment analysis, including traditional machine learning approaches and state-of-the-art deep learning models. Additionally, deep learning techniques has been utilized to identifying and extracting specific aspects from text, addressing aspect-level ambiguity, and capturing nuanced sentiments for each aspect. These datasets are valuable for conducting aspect-level sentiment analysis. In this article, we explore a language model based on pre-trained deep neural networks. This model can analyze sequences of text to classify sentiments as positive, negative, or neutral without explicit human labeling. To evaluate these models, data from Twitter's US airlines sentiment database was utilized. Experiments on this dataset reveal that the BERT, RoBERTA and DistilBERT model outperforms than the ML based model in accuracy and is more efficient in terms of training time. Notably, our findings showcase significant advancements over previous state-of-the-art methods that rely on supervised feature learning, bridging existing gaps in sentiment analysis methodologies. Our findings shed light on the advancements and challenges in sentiment analysis, offering insights for future research directions and practical applications in areas such as customer feedback analysis, social media monitoring, and opinion mining.

Social media plays a vital role in our daily lives. To understand and interpret emotions and opinions expressed on social media platforms, analyzing sentiment is very important. Our study is based on Twitter sentiment analysis. Our aim is to classify tweets automatically as positive, negative, or neutral based on their content using natural language processing and machine learning algorithms. The dataset we used for our analysis is extracted from the website called mendeley data and also we have added some tweets manually which covers various topics. To remove noise, including URLs, hashtags, punctuations, and user mentions, and to retain essential textual content and emojis, we pre-processed the dataset. Additionally, for our research, we used VADER (Valence Aware Dictionary and sentiment Reasoner) and Transformers-RoBERTa to analyze the sentiment of various tweets. We evaluate the performance of these two models using evaluation metrics such as accuracy, precision, recall and F1-score, and also confusion metrics on the testing set. We also discuss the study's limitations and conclude that machine learning-based sentiment analysis models are a reliable tool for the sentiment analysis of the twitter dataset.

Sentiment analysis leveraging emotions and word embeddings.
Sentiment analysis and opinion mining are valuable for extraction of useful subjective information out of text documents. These tasks have become of great importance, especially for business and marketing professionals, since online posted products and services reviews impact markets and consumers shifts. This work is motivated by the fact that automating retrieval and detection of sentiments expressed for certain products and services embeds complex processes and pose research challenges, due to the textual phenomena and the language specific expression variations. This paper proposes a fast, flexible, generic methodology for sentiment detection out of textual snippets which express people’s opinions in different languages. The proposed methodology adopts a machine learning approach with which textual documents are represented by vectors and are used for training a polarity classification model. Several documents’ vector representation approaches have been studied, including lexicon-based, word embedding-based and hybrid vectorizations. The competence of these feature representations for the sentiment classification task is assessed through experiments on four datasets containing online user reviews in both Greek and English languages, in order to represent high and weak inflection language groups. The proposed methodology requires minimal computational resources, thus, it might have impact in real world scenarios where limited resources is the case.

Deep Learning and Machine Learning-Based Model for Conversational Sentiment Classification
Computers, Materials & Continua
In the current era of the internet, people use online media for conversation, discussion, chatting, and other similar purposes. Analysis of such material where more than one person is involved has a spate challenge as compared to other text analysis tasks. There are several approaches to identify users' emotions from the conversational text for the English language, however regional or low resource languages have been neglected. The Urdu language is one of them and despite being used by millions of users across the globe, with the best of our knowledge there exists no work on dialogue analysis in the Urdu language. Therefore, in this paper, we have proposed a model which utilizes deep learning and machine learning approaches for the classification of users' emotions from the text. To accomplish this task, we have first created a dataset for the Urdu language with the help of existing English language datasets for dialogue analysis. After that, we have preprocessed the data and selected dialogues with common emotions. Once the dataset is prepared, we have used different deep learning and machine learning techniques for the classification of emotion. We have tuned the algorithms according to the Urdu language datasets. The experimental evaluation has shown encouraging results with 67% accuracy for the Urdu dialogue datasets, more than 10, 000 dialogues are classified into five emotions i.e., joy, fear, anger, sadness, and neutral. We believe that this is the first effort for emotion detection from the conversational text in the Urdu language domain.

Deep Learning for Digital Text Analytics: Sentiment Analysis
ArXiv, 2018
In today's scenario, imagining a world without negativity is something very unrealistic, as bad NEWS spreads more virally than good ones. Though it seems impractical in real life, this could be implemented by building a system using Machine Learning and Natural Language Processing techniques in identifying the news datum with negative shade and filter them by taking only the news with positive shade (good news) to the end user. In this work, around two lakhs datum have been trained and tested using a combination of rule-based and data driven approaches. VADER along with a filtration method has been used as an annotating tool followed by statistical Machine Learning approach that have used Document Term Matrix (representation) and Support Vector Machine (classification). Deep Learning algorithms then came into picture to make this system reliable (Doc2Vec) which finally ended up with Convolutional Neural Network(CNN) that yielded better results than the other experimented modules...

Human emotions are often discerned through tone, facial expressions, and gestures via face-to-face interactions. However, the question arises: Can sentiment be accurately identified from unstructured text on social networks? In this study, we demonstrate that it is indeed possible. We applied four machine learning methods—Deep Learning, Decision Trees, Naive Bayes, and Support Vector Machines—in two classification scenarios: cross-validation and training/test sets enhanced by a meta-classifier. Our goal was to identify which combination of classification scenario, learning method, and preprocessing performs best in sentiment analysis. To validate our approach, we used a manually labeled corpus, forming three datasets of different sizes with varying preprocessing techniques. The results underscore the viability and effectiveness of the proposed approach and provide implications for various fields (product development, marketing, political analysis, customer service education, linguistic education).

Emotion AI-Driven Sentiment Analysis: A Survey, Future Research Directions, and Open Issues
Applied Sciences, 2019
The essential use of natural language processing is to analyze the sentiment of the author via the context. This sentiment analysis (SA) is said to determine the exactness of the underlying emotion in the context. It has been used in several subject areas such as stock market prediction, social media data on product reviews, psychology, judiciary, forecasting, disease prediction, agriculture, etc. Many researchers have worked on these areas and have produced significant results. These outcomes are beneficial in their respective fields, as they help to understand the overall summary in a short time. Furthermore, SA helps in understanding actual feedback shared across different platforms such as Amazon, TripAdvisor, etc. The main objective of this thorough survey was to analyze some of the essential studies done so far and to provide an overview of SA models in the area of emotion AI-driven SA. In addition, this paper offers a review of ontology-based SA and lexicon-based SA along with machine learning models that are used to analyze the sentiment of the given context. Furthermore, this work also discusses different neural network-based approaches for analyzing sentiment. Finally, these different approaches were also analyzed with sample data collected from Twitter. Among the four approaches considered in each domain, the aspect-based ontology method produced 83% accuracy among the ontology-based SAs, the term frequency approach produced 85% accuracy in the lexicon-based analysis, and the support vector machine-based approach achieved 90% accuracy among the other machine learning-based approaches.
