Title
Visual Sentiment Analysis Based on on Objective Text Description of Images
Abstract
Visual Sentiment Analysis aims to estimate the polarity of the sentiment evoked by images in terms of positive or negative sentiment. To this aim, most of the state of the art works exploit the text associated to a social post provided by the user. However, such textual data is typically noisy due to the subjectivity of the user which usually includes text useful to maximize the diffusion of the social post. In this paper we extract and employ an Objective Text description of images automatically extracted from the visual content rather than the classic Subjective Text provided by the users. The proposed method defines a multimodal embedding space based on the contribute of both visual and textual features. The sentiment polarity is then inferred by a supervised Support Vector Machine trained on the representations of the obtained embedding space. Experiments performed on a representative dataset of 47235 labelled samples demonstrate that the exploitation of the proposed Objective Text helps to outperform state-of-the-art for sentiment polarity estimation.
