A Multi-modal Approach to Fine-grained Opinion Mining on Video Reviews
Despite the recent advances in opinion mining for written reviews, few works
have tackled the problem on other sources of reviews. In light of this issue,
we propose a multi-modal approach for mining fine-grained opinions from video
reviews that is able to determine the aspects of the item under review that are
being discussed and the sentiment orientation towards them. Our approach works
at the sentence level without the need for time annotations and uses features
derived from the audio, video and language transcriptions of its contents. We
evaluate our approach on two datasets and show that leveraging the video and
audio modalities consistently provides increased performance over text-only
baselines, providing evidence these extra modalities are key in better
understanding video reviews.Comment: Second Grand Challenge and Workshop on Multimodal Language ACL 202
Current Challenges and Visions in Music Recommender Systems Research
Music recommender systems (MRS) have experienced a boom in recent years,
thanks to the emergence and success of online streaming services, which
nowadays make available almost all music in the world at the user's fingertip.
While today's MRS considerably help users to find interesting music in these
huge catalogs, MRS research is still facing substantial challenges. In
particular when it comes to build, incorporate, and evaluate recommendation
strategies that integrate information beyond simple user--item interactions or
content-based descriptors, but dig deep into the very essence of listener
needs, preferences, and intentions, MRS research becomes a big endeavor and
related publications quite sparse.
The purpose of this trends and survey article is twofold. We first identify
and shed light on what we believe are the most pressing challenges MRS research
is facing, from both academic and industry perspectives. We review the state of
the art towards solving these challenges and discuss its limitations. Second,
we detail possible future directions and visions we contemplate for the further
evolution of the field. The article should therefore serve two purposes: giving
the interested reader an overview of current challenges in MRS research and
providing guidance for young researchers by identifying interesting, yet
under-researched, directions in the field
