Resumen
Human communication is predominantly expressed through speech and writing, which are powerful mediums for conveying thoughts and opinions. Researchers have been studying the analysis of human sentiments for a long time, including the emerging area of bimodal sentiment analysis in natural language processing (NLP). Bimodal sentiment analysis has gained attention in various areas such as social opinion mining, healthcare, banking, and more. However, there is a limited amount of research on bimodal conversational sentiment analysis, which is challenging due to the complex nature of how humans express sentiment cues across different modalities. To address this gap in research, a comparison of multiple data modality models has been conducted on the widely used MELD dataset, which serves as a benchmark for sentiment analysis in the research community. The results show the effectiveness of combining acoustic and linguistic representations using a proposed neural-network-based ensemble learning technique over six transformer and deep-learning-based models, achieving state-of-the-art accuracy.
