Deep Learning Based Weighted Feature Fusion Approach for Sentiment Analysis

Deep learning algorithms have achieved remarkable results in the natural language processing(NLP) and computer vision. Hence, a trend still going on to use these algorithms, such as convolution and recurrent neural networks, for text analytic task to extract useful information. Features extraction is one of the important reasons behind the success of these networks. Moreover passing features from one layer to another layer within the network and one network to another network have done. However multilevel and multitype features fusion remains unexplored in sentiment analysis. So, in this paper, we use three datasets to display the advantages of extracting and fusing multilevel as well as multitype features from different neural networks. Multilevel features are from different layers of the same network, and multitype features are from different network architectures. Experiment results demonstrate that the proposed model based on multilevel and multitype weighted features fusion outperforms than many exiting works with an accuracy of 80.2%, 48.2%, and 87.0% on MR, SST1, and SST2 datasets respectively.
