A variety of neural network models have been proposed recently, however, these previous models mostly focus on the learning architecture with local textual information, ignoring the discourse and prior knowledge, which play crucial roles in human text comprehension. In this paper, we propose a new method to extract emotion cause with a hierarchical neural model and knowledge-based regularizations, which aims to incorporate discourse context information and restrain the parameters by sentiment lexicon and common knowledge. The experimental results demonstrate that our proposed method achieves the state-of-the-art performance on two public datasets in different languages (Chinese and English), outperforming a number of competitive baselines by at least 2.08{\\%} in F-measure.","url_abs":"https://aclanthology.org/D19-1563","url_pdf":"https://aclanthology.org/D19-1563.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"emotion-cause-extraction","task_name":"Emotion Cause Extraction"},{"task_slug":"reading-comprehension","task_name":"Reading Comprehension"},{"task_slug":"sentiment-analysis","task_name":"Sentiment Analysis"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[{"leaderboard":"/sota/emotion-cause-extraction-on-ece","task":"Emotion Cause Extraction","dataset":"ECE","model":"RHNN","rank_in_archive_order":2,"of":8,"metrics":{"F1":"79.14"},"uses_additional_data":false}],"syntology":{"syntology_url":null,"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
