New MTL methods improve sentiment analysis with implicit syntax guidance

Researchers have developed two novel strategies for integrating syntactic knowledge into neural sentiment analysis models using Multi-Task Learning (MTL). The first, Standard-MTL, jointly trains dependency parsing and sentiment classification. The second, Contrastive-MTL, uses implicit syntactic guidance through a contrastive objective and syntax-biased attention pooling, avoiding explicit label prediction. Evaluations across eleven datasets in seven languages, including the MARC corpus and SemEval-2022 Task 10, demonstrated that Contrastive-MTL significantly outperforms syntax-naive baselines and external parsing methods while being substantially faster. AI

IMPACT Enhances sentiment analysis capabilities by integrating syntactic information more efficiently, potentially improving performance in multilingual contexts.
