TransCapsule Model for Sentiment Classification

Abstract

Aspect-level sentiment classification is the aspect of determining the text in a given document and classifying it according to the sentiment polarity with respect to the objective. However, since annotation cost is very high, it might serve a big obstacle for this purpose. However, from a consumer point of view, this is highly effective in reading document-level labelled data such as reviews which are present online using neural network. The online reviews are packed with sentiment encoded text which can be analyzed using this proposed methodology. In this paper a Transfer Capsule Network model is used which has the ability to transfer the knowledge gained at document-level to the aspect-level to classify according to the sentiment detected in the text. As the first step, the sentence is broken down in semantic representations using aspect routing to form semantic capsule data of both document-level and aspect-level. This routing approach is extended to group the semantic capsules for transfer learning framework. The effectiveness of the proposed methodology are experimented and demonstrated to determine how superior they are to the other methodologies proposed.
