Identifying high-impact sub-structures for convolution kernels in document-level sentiment classification
Convolution kernels support the modeling of complex syntactic information in machine-learning tasks. However, such models are highly sensitive to the type and size of syntactic structure used. It is therefore an important challenge to automatically identify high impact sub-structures relevant to a given task. In this paper we present a systematic study investigating (combinations of) sequence and convolution kernels using different types of substructures in document-level sentiment classification. We show that minimal sub-structures extracted from constituency and dependency trees guided by a polarity lexicon show 1.45 point absolute improvement in accuracy over a bag-of-words classifier on a widely used sentiment corpus
A Dependency-Based Neural Network for Relation Classification
Previous research on relation classification has verified the effectiveness
of using dependency shortest paths or subtrees. In this paper, we further
explore how to make full use of the combination of these dependency
information. We first propose a new structure, termed augmented dependency path
(ADP), which is composed of the shortest dependency path between two entities
and the subtrees attached to the shortest path. To exploit the semantic
representation behind the ADP structure, we develop dependency-based neural
networks (DepNN): a recursive neural network designed to model the subtrees,
and a convolutional neural network to capture the most important features on
the shortest path. Experiments on the SemEval-2010 dataset show that our
proposed method achieves state-of-art results.Comment: This preprint is the full version of a short paper accepted in the
