摘要:

情感分类对于许多自然语言处理(NLP)应用程序至关重要,例如电影评论,推文或客户反馈的分析。需要足够大量的数据来构建一个强大的情感分类系统。然而,这些资源并不总是可用于所有领域或所有语言。在这项工作中,我们建议采用一个机器翻译(MT)系统翻译成另一种语言的客户反馈调查在何种情况下翻译的句子可以有一个积极或消极的影响自动情感分类。此外,由于执行直接翻译并不总是可能的,我们探讨了自动分类器的性能,已被翻译使用枢轴MT系统的句子。我们使用上述方法进行了几次实验,以分析我们提出的情感分类系统的性能,并讨论对翻译句子进行分类的优点和缺点。

英文摘要:

Sentiment classification has been crucial for many natural language processing (NLP) applications, such as the analysis of movie reviews, tweets, or customer feedback. A sufficiently large amount of data is required to build a robust sentiment classification system. However, such resources are not always available for all domains or for all languages. In this work, we propose employing a machine translation (MT) system to translate customer feedback into another language to investigate in which cases translated sentences can have a positive or negative impact on an automatic sentiment classifier. Furthermore, as performing a direct translation is not always possible, we explore the performance of automatic classifiers on sentences that have been translated using a pivot MT system. We conduct several experiments using the above approaches to analyse the performance of our proposed sentiment classification system and discuss the advantages and drawbacks of classifying translated sentences.
