• Title: IITK at SemEval-2020 Task 8: Unimodal and Bimodal Sentiment Analysis of Internet Memes
• Authors: Vishal Keswani, Sakshi Singh, Suryansh Agarwal, Ashutosh Modi
• Abstract summary: We present our approaches for the Memotion Analysis problem as posed in SemEval-2020 Task 8. The goal of this task is to classify memes based on their emotional content and sentiment. Our results show that a text-only approach, a simple Feed Forward Neural Network (FFNN) with Word2vec embeddings as input, performs superior to all the others.

• Abstract: Social media is abundant in visual and textual information presented together or in isolation. Memes are the most popular form, belonging to the former class. In this paper, we present our approaches for the Memotion Analysis problem as posed in SemEval-2020 Task 8. The goal of this task is to classify memes based on their emotional content and sentiment. We leverage techniques from Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Computer Vision (CV) towards the sentiment classification of internet memes (Subtask A). We consider Bimodal (text and image) as well as Unimodal (text-only) techniques in our study ranging from the Na\"ive Bayes classifier to Transformer-based approaches. Our results show that a text-only approach, a simple Feed Forward Neural Network (FFNN) with Word2vec embeddings as input, performs superior to all the others. We stand first in the Sentiment analysis task with a relative improvement of 63% over the baseline macro-F1 score. Our work is relevant to any task concerned with the combination of different modalities.

  We leverage the capabilities of Vision-and-Large-Language Models to enhance in-context emotion classification. In the first stage, we propose prompting VLLMs to generate descriptions in natural language of the subject's apparent emotion. In the second stage, the descriptions are used as contextual information and, along with the image input, are used to train a transformer-based architecture.

  There exist two typical types, textiti.e., the fusion-encoder type and the dual-encoder type, depending on whether a heavy fusion module is used. We propose an effective yet straightforward scheme named PTUnifier to unify the two types. We first unify the input format by introducing visual and textual prompts, which serve as a feature bank that stores the most representative images/texts.

  This work presents new methods to employ visual information as assistant signals to general NLP tasks. For each sentence, we first retrieve a flexible number of images either from a light topic-image lookup table extracted over the existing sentence-image pairs. Then, the text and images are encoded by a Transformer encoder and convolutional neural network, respectively.

  We propose a multi-hop attention-based deep neural network framework, called MHA-MEME. Its prime objective is to leverage the spatial-domain correspondence between the visual modality (an image) and various textual segments to extract fine-grained feature representations for classification. We evaluate MHA-MEME on the 'Memotion Analysis' dataset for all three sub-tasks - sentiment classification, affect classification, and affect class quantification.

  The objective of this proposal is to bring the attention of the research community towards the automatic processing of Internet memes. The task Memotion analysis released approx 10K annotated memes, with human-annotated labels namely sentiment (positive, negative, neutral), type of emotion (sarcastic, funny, offensive, motivation) and corresponding intensity. The challenge consisted of three subtasks: sentiment (positive, negative, and neutral) analysis of memes, overall emotion (humour, sarcasm, offensive, and motivational) classification of memes, and classifying intensity of meme emotion.

We then adapt and fine-tune the Bidirectional Representations from Transformers (BERT), and two types of convolutional neural network models (CNNs) were used to extract the features from the pictures.
