Speaker-Independent Multimodal Sentiment Analysis for Big Data

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Abstract

In this chapter, we propose a contextual multimodal sentiment analysis framework which outperforms the state of the art. This framework has been evaluated against speaker-dependent and speaker-independent problems. We also address the generalizability issue of the proposed method. This chapter also contains a discussion for an important component to be considered for a multimodal information processing system, which is the type of information fusion technique to be applied to combine the multimodal data.

Notes

  1. 1.

    We have reimplemented the method by Poria et al. [23].

  2. 2.

    RNTN classifies it as neutral. It can be seen here. http://nlp.stanford.edu:8080/sentiment/rntnDemo.html
