• Abstract: One crucial aspect of sentiment analysis is negation handling, where the occurrence of negation can flip the sentiment of a sentence and negatively affects the machine learning-based sentiment classification. The role of negation in Arabic sentiment analysis has been explored only to a limited extent, especially for colloquial Arabic. In this paper, the author addresses the negation problem of machine learning-based sentiment classification for a colloquial Arabic language. To this end, we propose a simple rule-based algorithm for handling the problem; the rules were crafted based on observing many cases of negation. Additionally, simple linguistic knowledge and sentiment lexicon are used for this purpose. The author also examines the impact of the proposed algorithm on the performance of different machine learning algorithms. The results given by the proposed algorithm are compared with three baseline models. The experimental results show that there is a positive impact on the classifiers accuracy, precision and recall when the proposed algorithm is used compared to the baselines.

  The paper argues that token-level language models should be marginalized into character-level language models before they are used in psycholinguistic studies. We find various focal areas whose surprisal is a better psychometric predictor than the surprisal of the region of interest itself.

  Machine learning models have a tendency to leverage spurious correlations that exist in the training set but may not hold true in general circumstances. In this paper, we examine the implications of spurious correlations through a novel perspective called neighborhood analysis. We propose a family of regularization methods, NFL (doN't Forget your Language) to mitigate spurious correlations in text classification.
