Cross-domain sentiment classification has been a hot spot these years, which aims to learn a reliable classifier using labeled data from the source domain and evaluate it on the target domain. In this vein, most approaches utilized domain adaptation that maps data from different domains into a common feature space. To further improve the model performance, several methods targeted to mine domain-specific information were proposed. However, most of them only utilized a limited part of domain-specific information. In this study, we first develop a method of extracting domain-specific words based on the topic information. Then, we propose a Topic Driven Adaptive Network (TDAN) for cross-domain sentiment classification. The network consists of two sub-networks: semantics attention network and domain-specific word attention network, the structures of which are based on transformers. These sub-networks take different forms of input and their outputs are fused as the feature vector. Experiments validate the effectiveness of our TDAN on sentiment classification across domains.

We review the scholarly contributions that utilise Natural Language Processing (NLP) methods to support the design process. Using a heuristic approach, we collected 223 articles published in 32 journals and within the period 1991-present. We present state-of-the-art NLP in-and-for design research by reviewing these articles according to the type of natural language text sources: internal reports, design concepts, discourse transcripts, technical publications, consumer opinions, and others. Upon summarizing and identifying the gaps in these contributions, we utilise an existing design innovation framework to identify the applications that are currently being supported by NLP. We then propose a few methodological and theoretical directions for future NLP in-and-for design research.

In this first section, we will go through several general elements setting up the starting problem and the different challenges to overcome with text data. This is also the section in which we will discover our Twitter dataset, using libraries such as Pandas or Matplotlib.

Sociodemographic biases are a common problem for natural language processing, affecting the fairness and integrity of its applications. Within sentiment analysis, these biases may undermine sentiment predictions for texts that mention personal attributes that unbiased human readers would consider neutral. Such discrimination can have great consequences in the applications of sentiment analysis both in the public and private sectors. For example, incorrect inferences in applications like online abuse and opinion analysis in social media platforms can lead to unwanted ramifications, such as wrongful censoring, towards certain populations. In this paper, we address the discrimination against people with disabilities, PWD, done by sentiment analysis and toxicity classification models. We provide an examination of sentiment and toxicity analysis models to understand in detail how they discriminate PWD. We present the Bias Identification Test in Sentiments (BITS), a corpus of 1,126 sentences designed to probe sentiment analysis models for biases in disability. We use this corpus to demonstrate statistically significant biases in four widely used sentiment analysis tools (TextBlob, VADER, Google Cloud Natural Language API and DistilBERT) and two toxicity analysis models trained to predict toxic comments on Jigsaw challenges (Toxic comment classification and Unintended Bias in Toxic comments). The results show that all exhibit strong negative biases on sentences that mention disability. We publicly release BITS Corpus for others to identify potential biases against disability in any sentiment analysis tools and also to update the corpus to be used as a test for other sociodemographic variables as well.

In the Pages application: marketers can measure the sentiment of the content they're producing. Microsoft Azure Text Sentiment Analysis interprets positive, neutral, and negative sentiment in real time. For example, "I like everything" will yield a high sentiment. Conversely, "I don't like anything" will yield a negative sentiment and "this is some text" will yield a neutral sentiment. This helps your marketing teams ensure that when they're creating content, the sentiment is in line with the context of the content strategy.

Sentiment analysis is the process of determining the opinion or feeling of a piece of text and determine whether the writer's attitude towards particular topic or product is positive, negative or neutral. The success of companies or products directly depends on customers. Once we know how the customer feels after analyzing their comments or reviews, they can identify what customer liked and disliked and built things like recommendation systems or more targeted marketing campaigns for them. IMDB dataset used for the project is a large movie review dataset. It consists of 50,000 movie reviews for natural language processing and text analytics.

Aspect-based sentiment classification aims to predict the sentiment polarity of a specific aspect in a sentence. However, most existing methods attempt to construct dependency relations into a homogeneous dependency graph with the sparsity and ambiguity, which cannot cover the comprehensive contextualized features of short texts or consider any additional node types or semantic relation information. To solve those issues, we present a sentiment analysis model named Isomer, which performs a dual-channel attention on heterogeneous dependency graphs incorporating external knowledge, to effectively integrate other additional information. Specifically, a transfer-enhanced dual-channel heterogeneous dependency attention network is devised in Isomer to model short texts using heterogeneous dependency graphs. These heterogeneous dependency graphs not only consider different types of information but also incorporate external knowledge. Experiments studies show that our model outperforms recent models on benchmark datasets. Furthermore, the results suggest that our method captures the importance of various information features to focus on informative contextual words.

Topic evolution modeling has received significant attentions in recent decades. Although various topic evolution models have been proposed, most studies focus on the single document corpus. However in practice, we can easily access data from multiple sources and also observe relationships between them. Then it is of great interest to recognize the relationship between multiple text corpora and further utilize this relationship to improve topic modeling. In this work, we focus on a special type of relationship between two text corpora, which we define as the "lead-lag relationship". This relationship characterizes the phenomenon that one text corpus would influence the topics to be discussed in the other text corpus in the future. To discover the lead-lag relationship, we propose a jointly dynamic topic model and also develop an embedding extension to address the modeling problem of large-scale text corpus. With the recognized lead-lag relationship, the similarities of the two text corpora can be figured out and the quality of topic learning in both corpora can be improved. We numerically investigate the performance of the jointly dynamic topic modeling approach using synthetic data. Finally, we apply the proposed model on two text corpora consisting of statistical papers and the graduation theses. Results show the proposed model can well recognize the lead-lag relationship between the two corpora, and the specific and shared topic patterns in the two corpora are also discovered.

Dataless text classification, i.e., a new paradigm of weakly supervised learning, refers to the task of learning with unlabeled documents and a few predefined representative words of categories, known as seed words. The recent generative dataless methods construct document-specific category priors by using seed word occurrences only, however, such category priors often contain very limited and even noisy supervised signals. To remedy this problem, in this paper we propose a novel formulation of category prior. First, for each document, we consider its label membership degree by not only counting seed word occurrences, but also using a novel prototype scheme, which captures pseudo-nearest neighboring categories. Second, for each label, we consider its frequency prior knowledge of the corpus, which is also a discriminative knowledge for classification. By incorporating the proposed category prior into the previous generative dataless method, we suggest a novel generative dataless method, namely Weakly Supervised Prototype Topic Model (WSPTM). The experimental results on real-world datasets demonstrate that WSPTM outperforms the existing baseline methods.
