Sentiment polarity classification of corporate review data with a bidirectional Long-Short Term Memory (biLSTM) neural network architecture
Conference
A considerable amount of literature has been published on Corporate Reputation, Branding and Brand Image. These studies are extensive and focus particularly on questionnaires and statistical analysis.
Although extensive research has been carried out, no single study was found which attempted to predict corporate reputation performance based on data collected from media sources.
To perform this task, a biLSTM Neural Network extended with attention mechanism was utilized. The advantages of this architecture are that it obtains excellent performance for NLP tasks. The state-of-the-art designed model achieves highly competitive results, F1 scores around 72%, accuracy of 92% and loss around 20%.
