论文摘要
自从20年前首次将其作为一项任务引入以来,情感分析作为一个领域已经走了很长一段路。它在营销,风险管理,市场研究和政治等各个领域中都有广泛的商业应用,仅举几例。鉴于其在特定子任务(例如情感极性分类)和数据集中的饱和度,因此存在一种基本的看法,即该领域已达到其成熟度。在本文中,我们通过指出缺点,探索尚未探索的关键方面来讨论这种看法,这些方面是获得真正的情感理解所必需的。我们分析了负责其当前相关性的重要飞跃。此外,我们尝试为该领域的可能课程绘制涵盖许多被忽视和未解决的问题的课程。
Sentiment analysis as a field has come a long way since it was first introduced as a task nearly 20 years ago. It has widespread commercial applications in various domains like marketing, risk management, market research, and politics, to name a few. Given its saturation in specific subtasks -- such as sentiment polarity classification -- and datasets, there is an underlying perception that this field has reached its maturity. In this article, we discuss this perception by pointing out the shortcomings and under-explored, yet key aspects of this field that are necessary to attain true sentiment understanding. We analyze the significant leaps responsible for its current relevance. Further, we attempt to chart a possible course for this field that covers many overlooked and unanswered questions.
