Structural Attention Neural Networks for improved sentiment analysis

Filippos Kokkinos, Alexandros Potamianos


Abstract
We introduce a tree-structured attention neural network for sentences and small phrases and apply it to the problem of sentiment classification. Our model expands the current recursive models by incorporating structural information around a node of a syntactic tree using both bottom-up and top-down information propagation. Also, the model utilizes structural attention to identify the most salient representations during the construction of the syntactic tree.
