Emoticon-Aware Recurrent Neural Network Model for Chinese Sentiment Analysis
2018 9th International Conference on Awareness Science and Technology (iCAST)(2018)
摘要
Pictograms (emoticons/emojis) have been widely used in social media as a mean for graphical expression of emotions. People can express delicate nuances through textual information when supported with emoticons, and the effectiveness of computer-mediated communication (CMC) is also improved. Therefore it is important to fully understand the influence of emoticons on CMC. In this paper, we propose an emoticon polarity-aware recurrent neural network method for sentiment analysis of Weibo, a Chinese social media platform. In the first step, we analyzed the usage of 67 emoticons with racial expression used on Weibo. By performing a polarity annotation with a new “humorous type” added, we have confirmed that 23 emoticons can be considered more as humorous than positive or negative. On this basis, we applied the emoticons polarity in a Long Short-Term Memory recurrent neural network (LSTM) for sentiment analysis of undersized labelled data. Our experimental results show that the proposed method can significantly improve the precision for predicting sentiment polarity on Weibo.
