• Authors: Carlo Lipizzi, Dario Borrelli, Fernanda de Oliveira Capela
• Abstract summary: This work introduces a new method to consider subjectivity and general context dependency in text analysis. By using similarity measure between words, we are able to extract the relative relevance of the elements in the benchmark. This method could be applied to all the cases where evaluating subjectivity is relevant to understand the relative value or meaning of a text.

• Abstract: This work introduces a new method to consider subjectivity and general context dependency in text analysis and uses as example the detection of emotions conveyed in text. The proposed method takes into account subjectivity using a computational version of the Framework Theory by Marvin Minsky (1974) leveraging on the Word2Vec approach to text vectorization by Mikolov et al. (2013), used to generate distributed representation of words based on the context where they appear. Our approach is based on three components: 1. a framework/'room' representing the point of view; 2. a benchmark representing the criteria for the analysis - in this case the emotion classification, from a study of human emotions by Robert Plutchik (1980); and 3. the document to be analyzed. By using similarity measure between words, we are able to extract the relative relevance of the elements in the benchmark - intensities of emotions in our case study - for the document to be analyzed. Our method provides a measure that take into account the point of view of the entity reading the document. This method could be applied to all the cases where evaluating subjectivity is relevant to understand the relative value or meaning of a text. Subjectivity can be not limited to human reactions, but it could be used to provide a text with an interpretation related to a given domain ("room"). To evaluate our method, we used a test case in the political domain.

  A text entails a hypothesis if and only if the true value of the hypothesis follows the text. In this paper, we propose a novel approach to identifying the textual entailment relationship between text and hypothesis. We employ an element-wise Manhattan distance vector-based feature that can identify the semantic entailment relationship between the text-hypothesis pair.

  The main difference between conversational sentiment analysis and single sentence sentiment analysis is the existence of context information. Existing approaches employ complicated deep learning structures to distinguish different parties in a conversation and then model the context information. We propose a fast, compact and parameter-efficient party-ignorant framework named bidirectional emotional recurrent unit for conversational sentiment analysis.
