Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Pages 9082: When Implicit Offence Is Not Necessarily Negative: Pragmatic Strategies and Sentiment Polarity in Chinese Online Attacks

21+ hour, 8+ min ago   (538+ words) This study investigates how sentiment polarity relates to offensive function in Chinese online attacks, focusing on cases where offence is expressed implicitly rather than through explicit negative wording. Using a 1400-item Chinese online-text corpus derived from TOXICN and its pragmatics-oriented…...

Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Pages 9065: Bayesian Biaffine Variational Graph Convolutional Network for Aspect-Based Sentiment Analysis

1+ day, 20+ hour ago   (496+ words) Aspect-based sentiment analysis (ABSA) aims to identify the sentiment polarity expressed toward a specific aspect in a sentence. Existing sequential and Transformer-based methods can effectively capture contextual semantics, but they often lack explicit modeling of aspect–opinion relations. Graph-based approaches…...
