Adversarial Training in Affective Computing and Sentiment Analysis: Recent Advances and Perspectives
Over the past few years, adversarial training has become an extremely active
research topic and has been successfully applied to various Artificial
Intelligence (AI) domains. As a potentially crucial technique for the
development of the next generation of emotional AI systems, we herein provide a
comprehensive overview of the application of adversarial training to affective
computing and sentiment analysis. Various representative adversarial training
algorithms are explained and discussed accordingly, aimed at tackling diverse
challenges associated with emotional AI systems. Further, we highlight a range
of potential future research directions. We expect that this overview will help
facilitate the development of adversarial training for affective computing and
sentiment analysis in both the academic and industrial communities
Adaptive Semi-supervised Learning for Cross-domain Sentiment Classification
We consider the cross-domain sentiment classification problem, where a
sentiment classifier is to be learned from a source domain and to be
generalized to a target domain. Our approach explicitly minimizes the distance
between the source and the target instances in an embedded feature space. With
the difference between source and target minimized, we then exploit additional
information from the target domain by consolidating the idea of semi-supervised
learning, for which, we jointly employ two regularizations -- entropy
minimization and self-ensemble bootstrapping -- to incorporate the unlabeled
target data for classifier refinement. Our experimental results demonstrate
that the proposed approach can better leverage unlabeled data from the target
domain and achieve substantial improvements over baseline methods in various
experimental settings.Comment: Accepted to EMNLP201
