We participated in all subtasks for English tweets, involving message-level and topic-based sentiment polarity classification and quantification. We use Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks augmented with two kinds of attention mechanisms, on top of word embeddings pre-trained on a big collection of Twitter messages. Also, we present a text processing tool suitable for social network messages, which performs tokenization, word normalization, segmentation and spell correction. Moreover, our approach uses no hand-crafted features or sentiment lexicons. We ranked 1st (tie) in Subtask A, and achieved very competitive results in the rest of the Subtasks. Both the word embeddings and our text processing tool are available to the research community.","url_abs":"https://aclanthology.org/S17-2126","url_pdf":"https://aclanthology.org/S17-2126.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":[{"paper_slug":"datastories-at-semeval-2017-task-4-deep-lstm","repo_url":"https://github.com/cbaziotis/ekphrasis","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"feature-engineering","task_name":"Feature Engineering"},{"task_slug":"sentiment-analysis","task_name":"Sentiment Analysis"},{"task_slug":"word-embeddings","task_name":"Word Embeddings"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[{"leaderboard":"/sota/sentiment-analysis-on-semeval-2017-task-4-a","task":"Sentiment Analysis","dataset":"SemEval 2017 Task 4-A","model":"DataStories","rank_in_archive_order":2,"of":3,"metrics":{"Average Recall":"0.681"},"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}
