Mahmoud Nabil, Amir F. Atiya, Mohamed Aly · 2016
In this paper we describe a deep learning system that has been built for SemEval 2016 Task4 (Subtask A and B).In this work we trained a Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) neural network model on top of two sets of word embeddings: (a) general word embeddings generated from unsupervised neural language model; and (b) task specific word embeddings generated from supervised neural language model that was trained to classify tweets into positive and negative categories.We also added a method for analyzing and splitting multi-words hashtags and appending them to the tweet body before feeding it to our model.Our models achieved 0.58 F1-measure for Subtask A (ranked 12/34) and 0.679 Recall for Subtask B (ranked 12/19).
