你有多紧张？用堆积集成方法来预测情绪强度和情感

Abstract:
Emotions and sentiments are subjective in nature. They differ on a case-to-case basis. However, predicting only the emotion and sentiment does not always convey complete information. The degree or level of emotions and sentiments often plays a crucial role in understanding the exact feeling within a single class (e.g., ‘good’ versus ‘awesome’). In this paper, we propose a stacked ensemble method for predicting the degree of intensity for emotion and sentiment by combining the outputs obtained from several deep learning and classical feature-based models using a multi-layer perceptron network. We develop three deep learning models based on convolutional neural network, long short-term memory and gated recurrent unit and one classical supervised model based on support vector regression.
