TLDR
A new approach to cross-language text classification that builds on structural correspondence learning, a recently proposed theory for domain adaptation, is presented, using unlabeled documents, along with a simple word translation oracle, in order to induce task-specific, cross-lingual word correspondences.Abstract:
We present a new approach to cross-language text classification that builds on structural correspondence learning, a recently proposed theory for domain adaptation. The approach uses unlabeled documents, along with a simple word translation oracle, in order to induce task-specific, cross-lingual word correspondences. We report on analyses that reveal quantitative insights about the use of unlabeled data and the complexity of inter-language correspondence modeling.
We conduct experiments in the field of cross-language sentiment classification, employing English as source language, and German, French, and Japanese as target languages. The results are convincing; they demonstrate both the robustness and the competitiveness of the presented ideas.read more

Feature Adaptation of Pre-Trained Language Models across Languages and Domains for Text Classification
TL;DR: This article proposed a class-aware feature self-distillation (CFd) to learn discriminative features from pre-trained language models, in which the features from the same class are more tightly clustered.

Regularization and variable selection via the elastic net
Hui Zou,Trevor Hastie +1 more
TL;DR: It is shown that the elastic net often outperforms the lasso, while enjoying a similar sparsity of representation, and an algorithm called LARS‐EN is proposed for computing elastic net regularization paths efficiently, much like algorithm LARS does for the lamba.
Thumbs up? Sentiment Classiflcation using Machine Learning Techniques
TL;DR: In this paper, the problem of classifying documents not by topic, but by overall sentiment, e.g., determining whether a review is positive or negative, was considered and three machine learning methods (Naive Bayes, maximum entropy classiflcation, and support vector machines) were employed.

Thumbs up? Sentiment Classification using Machine Learning Techniques
TL;DR: This work considers the problem of classifying documents not by topic, but by overall sentiment, e.g., determining whether a review is positive or negative, and concludes by examining factors that make the sentiment classification problem more challenging.

Biographies, Bollywood, Boom-boxes and Blenders: Domain Adaptation for Sentiment Classification
TL;DR: This work extends to sentiment classification the recently-proposed structural correspondence learning (SCL) algorithm, reducing the relative error due to adaptation between domains by an average of 30% over the original SCL algorithm and 46% over a supervised baseline.
