LIMSI_UPV at SemEval-2020 Task 9: Recurrent Convolutional Neural Network for Code-mixed Sentiment Analysis
This addresses sentiment analysis for social media users dealing with code-mixed Hindi-English text, but it is incremental as it combines existing neural network methods.
The paper tackled sentiment analysis for Hindi-English code-mixed tweets by proposing a Recurrent Convolutional Neural Network, achieving an F1 score of 0.69 and placing 9th in the SemEval-2020 task.
This paper describes the participation of LIMSI UPV team in SemEval-2020 Task 9: Sentiment Analysis for Code-Mixed Social Media Text. The proposed approach competed in SentiMix Hindi-English subtask, that addresses the problem of predicting the sentiment of a given Hindi-English code-mixed tweet. We propose Recurrent Convolutional Neural Network that combines both the recurrent neural network and the convolutional network to better capture the semantics of the text, for code-mixed sentiment analysis. The proposed system obtained 0.69 (best run) in terms of F1 score on the given test data and achieved the 9th place (Codalab username: somban) in the SentiMix Hindi-English subtask.
