A deep learning-based intelligent method for mining sentiment words in English translation texts

Abstract The current conventional sentiment lexicon mining methods mainly achieve lexical extraction by mining the sentiment features of words, which leads to poor mining effect due to the lack of building sentiment lexicon. In this regard, the intelligent mining method of sentiment lexicon of English translation text based on deep learning is proposed, and the intelligent mining algorithm is optimized by extracting lexical templates with generality, constructing sentiment lexicon, and building convolutional network to extract lexical features. In the experiments, the mining performance of the proposed method is verified. The experimental results show that the accuracy of the mining method is above 80%, which is higher than the other algorithms. The above results show that the proposed method has a more ideal effect in mining the emotional vocabulary of English translated text.

Augmenting Multimodal Content Representation with Transformers for Misinformation Detection

Information sharing on social media has become a common practice for people around the world. Since it is difficult to check user-generated content on social media, huge amounts of rumors and misinformation are being spread with authentic information. On the one hand, most of the social platforms identify rumors through manual fact-checking, which is very inefficient. On the other hand, with an emerging form of misinformation that contains inconsistent image–text pairs, it would be beneficial if we could compare the meaning of multimodal content within the same post for detecting image–text inconsistency. In this paper, we propose a novel approach to misinformation detection by multimodal feature fusion with transformers and credibility assessment with self-attention-based Bi-RNN networks. Firstly, captions are derived from images using an image captioning module to obtain their semantic descriptions. These are compared with surrounding text by fine-tuning transformers for consistency check in semantics. Then, to further aggregate sentiment features into text representation, we fine-tune a separate transformer for text sentiment classification, where the output is concatenated to augment text embeddings. Finally, Multi-Cell Bi-GRUs with self-attention are used to train the credibility assessment model for misinformation detection. From the experimental results on tweets, the best performance with an accuracy of 0.904 and an F1-score of 0.921 can be obtained when applying feature fusion of augmented embeddings with sentiment classification results. This shows the potential of the innovative way of applying transformers in our proposed approach to misinformation detection. Further investigation is needed to validate the performance on various types of multimodal discrepancies.

Analyzing hope speech from psycholinguistic and emotional perspectives

Hope is a vital coping mechanism, enabling individuals to effectively confront life’s challenges. This study proposes a technique employing Natural Language Processing (NLP) tools like Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count (LIWC), NRC-emotion-lexicon, and vaderSentiment to analyze social media posts, extracting psycholinguistic, emotional, and sentimental features from a hope speech dataset. The findings of this study reveal distinct cognitive, emotional, and communicative characteristics and psycholinguistic dimensions, emotions, and sentiments associated with different types of hope shared in social media. Furthermore, the study investigates the potential of leveraging this data to classify different types of hope using machine learning algorithms. Notably, models such as LightGBM and CatBoost demonstrate impressive performance, surpassing traditional methods and competing effectively with deep learning techniques. We employed hyperparameter tuning to optimize the models’ parameters and compared their performance using both default and tuned settings. The results highlight the enhanced efficiency achieved through hyperparameter tuning for these models.

Deep Learning Based Prediction Model for Crude Palm Oil Prices Using News Sentiment Analysis with Sliding Window

Crude palm oil (CPO) price prediction plays an important role in agricultural economic development. Various economics and agricultural related factors have been used to predict CPO prices. Nevertheless, understanding news sentiment features will also be important in CPO price prediction. This paper proposes a CPO price prediction model to help the plantation organizations in the palm oil sector to successfully anticipate CPO price fluctuations and manage the resources more effectively. The CPO price behavior is non-linear in nature, and thus prediction is very difficult. In this paper, an improved version of recurrent network, Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) based CPO price prediction model with news sentiment is used to produce an enhanced prediction model. The findings of this study show that the LSTM based forecasting model with news headline sentiment using a six-month sliding window produced the best result in forecasting the CPO price movement compared to other sliding window sizes.

Multimodal dual perception fusion framework for multimodal affective analysis

The misuse of social platforms and the difficulty in regulating post contents have culminated in a surge of negative sentiments, sarcasms, and the rampant spread of fake news. In response, Multimodal sentiment analysis, sarcasm detection and fake news detection based on image and text have attracted considerable attention recently. Due to that these areas share semantic and sentiment features and confront related fusion challenges in deciphering complex human expressions across different modalities, integrating these multimodal classification tasks that share commonalities across different scenarios into a unified framework is expected to simplify research in sentiment analysis, and enhance the effectiveness of classification tasks involving both semantic and sentiment modeling. Therefore, we consider integral components of a broader spectrum of research known as multimodal affective analysis towards semantics and sentiment, and propose a novel multimodal dual perception fusion framework (MDPF). Specifically, MDPF contains three core procedures: (1) Generating bootstrapping language-image Knowledge to enrich origin modality space, and utilizing cross-modal contrastive learning for aligning text and image modalities to understand underlying semantics and interactions. (2) Designing dynamic connective mechanism to adaptively match image-text pairs and jointly employing gaussian-weighted distribution to intensify semantic sequences. (3) Constructing a cross-modal graph to preserve the structured information of both image and text data and share information between modalities, while introducing sentiment knowledge to refine the edge weights of the graph to capture cross-modal sentiment interaction. We evaluate MDPF on three publicly available datasets across three tasks, and the empirical results demonstrate the superiority of our proposed model.

An Optimal Multi-Modal Approach for Stock Market Price Forecasting with Fused Sentiment Analysis for Real Time Data

Abstract: This study presents an innovative fusion-based methodology that integrates real-time stock market technical indicators with news sentiment analysis from financial news feeds to enhance stock selection decisions. The proposed framework employs a Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (Bi-LSTM) model for forecasting stock prices and a Deep Neural Network (DNN) used in conjunction with transformer-based model for sentiment classification, both optimized through the incorporation of real-time datasets. To further refine feature selection, Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) and Firefly algorithms are utilized, significantly improving the accuracy of price trend predictions and sentiment analysis. Technical indicators from stock market data are processed using the Bi-LSTM model to predict future stock prices. Concurrently, sentiment data from the Economic Times is pre-processed through Term Frequency-Inverse Document Frequency (TF-IDF) vectorization and pre-trained transformer models to extract key sentiment scores. The ABC algorithm enhances textual feature selection, while the Firefly algorithm reduces skewness in the error distribution of technical indicators, thereby improving the alignment between forecasted and actual stock prices. The fusion mechanism integrates predicted price movements with sentiment analysis to provide actionable insights for stock selection. The decision-making framework classifies stocks based on the consistency between price movements and sentiment: stocks predicted to rise with positive sentiment are labelled as "Sure Selection"; rising prices with negative sentiment are categorized as "Dicey Selection"; declining prices with positive sentiment result in a "Risky Selection"; and negative sentiment with falling prices trigger an "Avoid Selection". The proposed approach achieved a prediction accuracy of 67.00% for the Bi-LSTM model, with a precision of 0.714, recall of 0.695, and an F1 score of 0.677, demonstrating the model's robustness. The mean absolute error (MAE) for the Bi-LSTM model was 4.30, indicating strong predictive performance. The combined use of ABC and Firefly algorithms optimizes both technical and sentiment features, significantly contributing to the overall performance of the prediction model. By fusing multiple data sources and employing advanced optimization techniques, this methodology offers a unique and effective solution for stock market prediction and decision-making

Empowering sign language communication: Integrating sentiment and semantics for facial expression synthesis

Translating written sentences from oral languages to a sequence of manual and non-manual gestures plays a crucial role in building a more inclusive society for deaf and hard-of-hearing people. Facial expressions (non-manual), in particular, are responsible for encoding the grammar of the sentence to be spoken, applying punctuation, pronouns, or emphasizing signs. These non-manual gestures are closely related to the semantics of the sentence being spoken and also to the utterance of the speaker’s emotions. However, most Sign Language Production (SLP) approaches are centered on synthesizing manual gestures and do not focus on modeling the speaker’s expression. This paper introduces a new method focused in synthesizing facial expressions for sign language. Our goal is to improve sign language production by integrating sentiment information in facial expression generation. The approach leverages a sentence’s sentiment and semantic features to sample from a meaningful representation space, integrating the bias of the non-manual components into the sign language production process. To evaluate our method, we extend the Fréchet gesture distance (FGD) and propose a new metric called Fréchet Expression Distance (FED) and apply an extensive set of metrics to assess the quality of specific regions of the face. The experimental results showed that our method achieved state of the art, being superior to the competitors on How2Sign and PHOENIX14T datasets. Moreover, our architecture is based on a carefully designed graph pyramid that makes it simpler, easier to train, and capable of leveraging emotions to produce facial expressions. Our code and pretrained models will be available at: https://github.com/verlab/empowering-sign-language.

LLMv2: A Language Model with Holistic Hidden Markov Models and Machine Learning for Fake News Detection

The usage of social media has expanded in recent years, allowing them to get news from around the world at any time. This in turn, is questioning the authenticity of the news that is being spread both globally and locally. Fake news such as misinformation, gossips is widely disseminated on social media having a negative impact on society and lives of the people. As a result, much study is being is carried out in order to detect them. The data can be clustered into smaller groups based on the type of news using a few learning approaches. A novel method has been proposed for prediction of the authenticity of the news of the LIAR dataset [1] using Logistic Regression and a boosting algorithm eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) for efficacy, computational pace and performance of the model. This method detects fake news by analyzing the semantic and syntactic connections between sentences. Various graphs (like heat maps, bar charts) are plotted to show the distribution of the authenticity of news and also to compare the predicted result with the actual one. The proposed strategy addresses the effects of the hoax's global spread. People are hungry for information to defend themselves and others in a community where humans are confronting large-scale risks from harms. Some key traits such as Sentimental features, Content-based features, Frequency features, and Hybrid features (combinations of two or more features) are incorporated for early prediction of fake news spread via social media. The liar dataset is used to train the method and tested for accurate results. The experimental accuracy is found out to be 98%.

An aspect sentiment analysis model with Aspect Gated Convolution and Dual-Feature Filtering layers

Aspect level sentiment analysis is a basic task to determine the sentiment bias based on the contextual information near the aspect words. Some sentences contain many confusing feature words due to incomplete structure or high complexity in sentiment prediction, which can easily lead to the problem that the model pays too much attention to unimportant features. Furthermore, the role of aspect-related sentiment features is not significant in the feature extraction process. The capsule network, due to its complex network structure, leads to capsule detachment when too much information is found in the dataset. Too much computational resources are easily consumed during dynamic routing, which in turn affects the model's judgement of the polarity of aspect-related sentiment. To address these issues, we propose a capsule network (AGCDFF-Caps) with aspect-gated convolution and Dual-Feature Filtering layers for aspect-level sentiment analysis. A pre-trained BERT model is used to generate a serialised representation of the text, and the semantic representation in the contextual text is enhanced by the self-attention mechanism and bi-GRU. An aspect-gating based convolutional neural network is constructed to selectively extract contextual sentiment information about aspects and discard irrelevant information. A capsule network is then used to learn the multispatial semantic features of the aspect and the text. In particular, we incorporate a Dual-Feature Filtering network structure into the capsule network structure to strengthen the interaction between the particular aspect and the context from global and local perspectives, filtering the redundant information in local semantics and global semantics. The opinion feature representations that can more accurately express the emotional tendency of the aspect are obtained. Experimental results on SemEval2014 and Twitter datasets show that the proposed hybrid network structure has superior classification performance compared to 12 advanced baseline methods.

A Novel Multi-modal Sentiment Analysis Based on Multiple Kernel Learning with Margin-Dimension Constraint

Most of the sentiment analysis studies focus on the sentimental classification of pictures in the video, ignoring the spatio-temporal information of the sequence of picture frames as well as text and audio information. The multiple kernel learning is a new hotspot in the field of nuclear machine learning, capable of handling multiple modalities. For multiple kernel learning, it is easy to ignore the basic features that are not discriminative, and cannot make full use of the base features of different modes. This paper puts forward a novel multi-modal fusion model for sentiment analysis, in which a multiple kernel learning algorithm based on convolution margin-dimension constraint is proposed for feature fusion. Moreover, the 3D convolutional neural network is used to extract the features of visual information, and the multiple kernel learning algorithm based on margin-dimension constraint is used to fuse visual, text and audio sentiment features. Experiments conducted on the MOUD and IEMOCAP sentiment databases show that the proposed model outperforms existing models in the field of multi-modal sentiment analysis research.

The proposed model comprises of the pre-defined function for the estimation of the features in the English statements. This paper presents the Reflect Sentiment Translation Decision Tree (RSTDT), a novel model designed to integrate sentiment analysis and translation tasks for English text. The RSTDT model combines the strengths of decision tree algorithms with feature extraction techniques to accurately analyze sentiment and translate text across languages. The proposed RSTDT dataset comprises English sentences with annotated sentiment labels, the RSTDT model is trained to identify sentiment polarity and generate corresponding translations in Arabic. The proposed RSTDT model uses Traslation mapping for the estimation of the sentimental features. In order to estimate and classify the features in the neural network, the processes features are assessed using the decision tree model. The RSTDT model's efficacy in precisely capturing sentiment nuances and generating linguistically appropriate translations was shown through thorough testing and review. The model achieves high accuracy in sentiment analysis and exhibits proficiency in translating sentiment-rich content into Arabic while maintaining contextual relevance.

HAPI: An efficient Hybrid Feature Engineering-based Approach for Propaganda Identification in social media.

Social media platforms serve as communication tools where users freely share information regardless of its accuracy. Propaganda on these platforms refers to the dissemination of biased or deceptive information aimed at influencing public opinion, encompassing various forms such as political campaigns, fake news, and conspiracy theories. This study introduces a Hybrid Feature Engineering Approach for Propaganda Identification (HAPI), designed to detect propaganda in text-based content like news articles and social media posts. HAPI combines conventional feature engineering methods with machine learning techniques to achieve high accuracy in propaganda detection. This study is conducted on data collected from Twitter via its API, and an annotation scheme is proposed to categorize tweets into binary classes (propaganda and non-propaganda). Hybrid feature engineering entails the amalgamation of various features, including Term Frequency-Inverse Document Frequency (TF-IDF), Bag of Words (BoW), Sentimental features, and tweet length, among others. Multiple Machine Learning classifiers undergo training and evaluation utilizing the proposed methodology, leveraging a selection of 40 pertinent features identified through the hybrid feature selection technique. All the selected algorithms including Multinomial Naive Bayes (MNB), Support Vector Machine (SVM), Decision Tree (DT), and Logistic Regression (LR) achieved promising results. The SVM-based HaPi (SVM-HaPi) exhibits superior performance among traditional algorithms, achieving precision, recall, F-Measure, and overall accuracy of 0.69, 0.69, 0.69, and 69.2%, respectively. Furthermore, the proposed approach is compared to well-known existing approaches where it overperformed most of the studies on several evaluation metrics. This research contributes to the development of a comprehensive system tailored for propaganda identification in textual content. Nonetheless, the purview of propaganda detection transcends textual data alone. Deep learning algorithms like Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) offer the capability to manage multimodal data, incorporating text, images, audio, and video, thereby considering not only the content itself but also its presentation and contextual nuances during dissemination.

Ensuring customer loyalty is crucial for the success of any airline service provider in today's competitive environment. This study employs machine learning techniques to predict the likelihood of customers revisiting airline services, emphasizing the role of emotional connections in fostering loyalty. By analyzing feedback comments and satisfaction ratings, we explore how sentiments expressed by customers correlate with their propensity to return. Using sentiment analysis and features extracted through the Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count (LIWC) methodology, we categorize sentiments into various dimensions, integrating these with user experience (UX) elements for a comprehensive predictive model. Our methodology includes a robust data collection process, involving an initial survey of 17,000 valid responses and a follow-up survey one year later. We evaluate multiple classifiers, including Decision Tree, Random Forest, and XGBoost, through five-fold cross-validation. Results reveal that XGBoost achieves the highest accuracy of 85% in predicting return visits, highlighting the predictive power of machine learning in understanding customer behavior. These findings offer significant insights for airlines, enabling them to tailor services and strategies to enhance customer satisfaction and loyalty. Our study underscores the importance of sentiment analysis and UX in predicting customer loyalty, providing a roadmap for future research and practical applications in the airline industry.

AdaFN-AG: Enhancing multimodal interaction with Adaptive Feature Normalization for multimodal sentiment analysis

In multimodal sentiment analysis, achieving effective fusion among text, acoustic, and visual modalities for enhanced sentiment prediction is a crucial research topic. Recent studies typically employ tensor-based or attention-based mechanisms for multimodal fusion. However, the former fails to achieve satisfactory prediction performance, and the latter complicates the computation of fusion between non-textual modalities. Therefore, this paper proposes the multimodal sentiment analysis model based on Adaptive Feature Normalization and Attention Gating mechanism (AdaFN-AG). Firstly, facing highly synchronized non-textual modalities, we design the Adaptive Feature Normalization (AdaFN) method, which focuses more on sentiment features interaction rather than timing features association. In AdaFN, acoustic and visual modality features achieve cross-modal interaction through normalization, inverse normalization, and mix-up operations, with weights utilized for adaptive strength regulation of the cross-modal interaction. Meanwhile, we design the Attention Gating mechanism that facilitates cross-modal interactions between textual and non-textual modalities through cross-attention and captures timing associations, while the gating module concurrently regulates the intensity of these interactions. Additionally, we employ self-attention to capture the intrinsic correlations within single-modal features. Subsequently, we conduct experiments on three benchmark datasets for multimodal sentiment analysis, with the results indicating that AdaFN-AG outperforms the baselines across the majority of evaluation metrics. Through research and experiments, we validate that AdaFN-AG not only enhances performance by adopting appropriate methods for different types of cross-modal interactions while conserving computational resources but also verifies the generalization capability of the AdaFN method.

Explainable recommender system directed by reconstructed explanatory factors and multi‐modal matrix factorization

SummaryMatrix factorization (MF)‐based recommender systems (RSs) as black‐box models fail to provide explanations for the recommended items. While some models attain a degree of explainability by integrating neighborhood algorithms, which compute explainability based on the preferences of proximate users, they overlook the contribution of the subjective preferences of the target user to enhancing model explainability, resulting in suboptimal model explainability. To address this problem, an explainable RS directed by reconstructed explanatory factors and multi‐modal matrix factorization (ERS‐REFMMF) is proposed. By integrating users' subjective sentiment and preference features into the rating matrix to form a multi‐modal matrix, ERS‐REFMMF utilizes the Funk‐singular value decomposition method at the foundational layer to decompose the multi‐modal matrix and generate a candidate item set. At the upper layer, explainability is constructed based on the target user's subjective preferences and latent features derived from MF, and the final recommended list is optimized for accuracy, diversity, novelty, and explainability through multi‐objective optimization algorithms. ERS‐REFMMF models around users' explicit preferences and latent associations, reconstructs explainability with hybrid factors, and enhances overall performance through a many‐objective optimization algorithm. Experimental results on real datasets demonstrate that the proposed model is competitive in both phases compared to existing recommendation methods.

How the readability of manuscript before journal submission advantages peer review process: Evidence from biomedical scientific publications

The practice of uploading preprints of scientific manuscripts prior to journal submission has become increasingly popular. As such, it is essential to understand the impact of the preprint version of a manuscript on the peer review process to facilitate the development of open peer review practices. In the current research, we analyze a dataset comprising 1,078 biomedical papers published in Nature Communications and eLife in 2019, along with their manuscript information posted on preprint servers and their peer review histories. Our investigation focuses on the relationship between the readability of manuscript before journal submission, as represented by preprints, and the sentimental features expressed by reviewers. Based on empirical analysis utilizing a linear regression model, it has been found that reviewers are inclined to express positive sentiments towards preprints characterized by technical language, as indicated by low value on the readability indices. Additional subgroup analysis suggests that this positive effect is more pronounced in papers with lower social and scientific impact, as indicated by online attention scores and scholarly views after publication, respectively. Overall, results of our analysis reveals that the utilization of technical language characterized by lower readability level in academic papers does not seem to hinder the peer review process in biomedical science, which has significant implications for the open peer review practice.

Emotions unveiled: detecting COVID-19 fake news on social media

The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the pernicious effects of fake news, underscoring the critical need for researchers and practitioners to detect and mitigate its spread. In this paper, we examined the importance of detecting fake news and incorporated sentiment and emotional features to detect this type of news. Specifically, we compared the sentiments and emotions associated with fake and real news using a COVID-19 Twitter dataset with labeled categories. By utilizing different sentiment and emotion lexicons, we extracted sentiments categorized as positive, negative, and neutral and eight basic emotions, anticipation, anger, joy, sadness, surprise, fear, trust, and disgust. Our analysis revealed that fake news tends to elicit more negative emotions than real news. Therefore, we propose that negative emotions could serve as vital features in developing fake news detection models. To test this hypothesis, we compared the performance metrics of three machine learning models: random forest, support vector machine (SVM), and Naïve Bayes. We evaluated the models’ effectiveness with and without emotional features. Our results demonstrated that integrating emotional features into these models substantially improved the detection performance, resulting in a more robust and reliable ability to detect fake news on social media. In this paper, we propose the use of novel features and methods that enhance the field of fake news detection. Our findings underscore the crucial role of emotions in detecting fake news and provide valuable insights into how machine-learning models can be trained to recognize these features.
