Abstract

Sentiment connection is the basis of cross-lingual sentiment analysis (CSLA) solutions. Most of existing work mainly focus on general semantic connection that the misleading information caused by non-sentimental semantics probably lead to relatively low efficiency. In this paper, we propose to capture the document-level sentiment connection across languages (called cross-lingual sentiment relation) for CLSA in a joint two-view convolutional neural networks (CNNs), namely Bi-View CNN (BiVCNN). Inspired by relation embedding learning, we first project the extracted parallel sentiments into a bilingual sentiment relation space, then capture the relation by subtracting them with an error-tolerance. The bilingual sentiment relation considered in this paper is the shared sentiment polarity between two parallel texts. Experiments conducted on public datasets demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed approach.
