Fusion of part-of-speech vectors and attention mechanisms for cross-domain sentiment analysis.

The grand challenge of cross-domain sentiment analysis is that classifiers trained in a specific domain are very sensitive to the discrepancy between domains. A sentiment classifier trained in the source domain usually have a poor performance in the target domain. One of the main strategies to solve this problem is the pivot-based strategy, which regards the feature representation as an important component. However, part-of-speech information was not considered to guide the learning of feature representation and feature mapping in previous pivot-based models. Therefore, we present a fused part-of-speech vectors and attention-based model (FAM). In our model, we fuse part-of-speech vectors and feature word embeddings as the representation of features, giving deep semantics to mapping features. And we adopt Multi-Head attention mechanism to train the cross-domain sentiment classifier to obtain the connection between different features. The results of 12 groups comparative experiments on the Amazon dataset demonstrate that our model outperforms all baseline models in this paper. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
