Research on emotion classification technology of movie reviews based on topic attention mechanism and dual channel long short term memory.

Abstract

In recent years, with the popularity of the Internet, more and more people like to comment on movies they have watched on the film platform after watching them. These reviews hide the reviewers' feedback on films. Mining the emotional orientation information in these reviews can provide consumers with shopping references and help businesses optimize film works and improve business strategies. Therefore, the emotional classification of film reviews has high research value because few emotion dictionaries and analysis tools are available for reference and use in film reviews. The accuracy of emotion classification still needs to be improved. This study introduces the attention mechanism and dual channel long short term memory (DC-LSTM) while building the emotion dictionary in the field of Chinese film review. It classifies Chinese film reviews in terms of topic-based fine-grained emotion. First, the emotion vector is constructed using the constructed movie review emotion lexicon. The semantic vector obtained by the Word2vector tool is input to LSTM to encode the comment text. Then, the topic attention module is used to decode. Finally, the final emotion classification result is obtained through the softmax function of the entire link layer and the output layer. The thematic attention modules constructed in this study are independent of each other for attention parameter adjustment and learning. One attention module corresponds to one film theme. In this study, eight themes, including "plot," "special effects," "original work," "music," "thought," "theme," "acting skills," and "joke," were extracted, and each theme was classified into three types of emotions: "positive," "neutral," and "negative." The experimental results on the crawled Chinese film review dataset show that the proposed algorithm is superior to some existing algorithms and models in accuracy, precision, recall and F1 measure. The DCLSTM based on the thematic attention mechanism (DCLSTM-TAM) model constructed in this study introduces the emotion vector into the network and adds the theme attention mechanism. It can not only classify the emotion for different topics of a film review but also effectively deal with film reviews with fuzzy emotional tendencies. It realizes the fine-grained emotion classification of film topics and improves the accuracy of emotion classification of film reviews. The emotion classification method and model proposed in this study have good transferability, and the change of training corpus is also applicable to other short text fields.
