In this project we analysed how much semantic information images carry, and how much value image data can add to sentiment analysis of the text associated with the images. To better understand the contribution from images, we compared models which only made use of image data, models which only made use of text data, and models which combined both data types. We also analysed if this approach could help sentiment classifiers generalize to unknown sentiments.
@cite_0 , and @cite_5 explore image-text sentiment classification. @cite_5 extracted image features using a convolutional neural network and text features using a doc2vec model. They compare three different approaches for combining models, concatenating both sets of features and building a logistic regression model on top of the features, taking the average of the predicted sentiment score across the two models, and cross-modality consistent regression, with the latter achieving the best results. @cite_0 take a different approach, using a tree structured LSTM to combine image and text features, and achieved state of the art results for combined textual-visual sentiment analysis on this dataset.

We present a novel way of extracting features from short texts, based on the activation values of an inner layer of a deep convolutional neural network. We use the extracted features in multimodal sentiment analysis of short video clips representing one sentence each. We use the combined feature vectors of textual, visual, and audio modalities to train a classifier based on multiple kernel learning, which is known to be good at heterogeneous data. We obtain 14 performance improvement over the state of the art and present a parallelizable decision-level data fusion method, which is much faster, though slightly less accurate. We aim to apply sparse autoencoder-based unsupervised feature learning to emotional semantic analysis for textile images. To tackle the problem of limited training data, we present a cross-domain feature learning scheme for emotional textile image classification using convolutional autoencoders. We further propose a correlation-analysis-based feature selection method for the weights learned by sparse autoencoders to reduce the number of features extracted from large size images. First, we randomly collect image patches on an unlabeled image dataset in the source domain and learn local features with a sparse autoencoder. We then conduct feature selection according to the correlation between different weight vectors corresponding to the autoencoder’s hidden units. We finally adopt a convolutional neural network including a pooling layer to obtain global feature activations of textile images in the target domain and send these global feature vectors into logistic regression models for emotional image classification. The cross-domain unsupervised feature learning method achieves 65 to 78 average accuracy in the cross-validation experiments corresponding to eight emotional categories and performs better than conventional methods. Feature selection can reduce the computational cost of global feature extraction by about 50 while improving classification performance. This paper introduces a visual sentiment concept classification method based on deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs). The visual sentiment concepts are adjective noun pairs (ANPs) automatically discovered from the tags of web photos, and can be utilized as effective statistical cues for detecting emotions depicted in the images. Nearly one million Flickr images tagged with these ANPs are downloaded to train the classifiers of the concepts. We adopt the popular model of deep convolutional neural networks which recently shows great performance improvement on classifying large-scale web-based image dataset such as ImageNet. Our deep CNNs model is trained based on Caffe, a newly developed deep learning framework. To deal with the biased training data which only contains images with strong sentiment and to prevent overfitting, we initialize the model with the model weights trained from ImageNet. Performance evaluation shows the newly trained deep CNNs model SentiBank 2.0 (or called DeepSentiBank) is significantly improved in both annotation accuracy and retrieval performance, compared to its predecessors which mainly use binary SVM classification models. Due to increase of online product reviews posted daily through various modalities such as video, audio and text, sentimental analysis has gained huge attention. Recent developments in web technologies have also enabled the increase of web content in Hindi. In this paper, an approach to detect the sentiment of an online Hindi product reviews based on its multi-modality natures (audio and text) is presented. For each audio input, Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCC) features are extracted. These features are used to develop a sentiment models using Gaussian Mixture Models (GMM) and Deep Neural Network (DNN) classifiers. From results, it is observed that DNN classifier gives better results compare to GMM. Further textual features are extracted from the transcript of the audio input by using Doc2vec vectors. Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier is used to develop a sentiment model using these textual features. From experimental results it is observed that combining both the audio and text features results in improvement in the performance for detecting the sentiment of an online product reviews.
