Sentiment interpretability analysis on Chinese texts employing multi-task and knowledge base.

With the rapid development of deep learning techniques, the applications have become increasingly widespread in various domains. However, traditional deep learning methods are often referred to as "black box" models with low interpretability of their results, posing challenges for their application in certain critical domains. In this study, we propose a comprehensive method for the interpretability analysis of sentiment models. The proposed method encompasses two main aspects: attention-based analysis and external knowledge integration. First, we train the model within sentiment classification and generation tasks to capture attention scores from multiple perspectives. This multi-angle approach reduces bias and provides a more comprehensive understanding of the underlying sentiment. Second, we incorporate an external knowledge base to improve evidence extraction. By leveraging character scores, we retrieve complete sentiment evidence phrases, addressing the challenge of incomplete evidence extraction in Chinese texts. Experimental results on a sentiment interpretability evaluation dataset demonstrate the effectiveness of our method. We observe a notable increase in accuracy by 1.3%, Macro-F1 by 13%, and MAP by 23%. Overall, our approach offers a robust solution for enhancing the interpretability of sentiment models by combining attention-based analysis and the integration of external knowledge.
