Description
Summary:Sentiment analysis (SA) analyzes online data to uncover insights for better decision-making. Conventional text SA techniques are effective and easy to understand but encounter difficulties when handling sparse data. Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) excel in handling data sparsity but face challenges with high-dimensional, noisy data. Incorporating rich domain semantic and sentiment knowledge is crucial for advancing sentiment analysis. To address these challenges, we propose an innovative hybrid sentiment analysis approach that combines established DNN models like RoBERTA and BiGRU with an attention mechanism, alongside traditional feature engineering and dimensionality reduction through PCA. This leverages the strengths of both techniques: DNNs handle complex semantics and dynamic features, while conventional methods shine in interpretability and efficient sentiment extraction. This complementary combination fosters a robust and accurate sentiment analysis model. Our model is evaluated on four widely used real-world benchmark text sentiment analysis datasets: MR, CR, IMDB, and SemEval 2013. The proposed hybrid model achieved impressive results on these datasets. These findings highlight the effectiveness of this approach for text sentiment analysis tasks, demonstrating its ability to improve sentiment analysis performance compared to previously proposed methods.
