Abstract
In this paper, we propose a novel neural network based architecture which incorporates character, word and lexicon level information to predict the degree of intensity for sentiment and emotion. At first we develop two deep learning models based on Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) & Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), and a feature based model. Each of these models takes as input a fusion of various representations obtained from the characters, words and lexicons. A Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) network based ensemble model is then constructed by combining the outputs of these three models. Evaluation on the benchmark datasets related to sentiment and emotion shows that our proposed model attains the state-of-the-art performance.
