KinGDOM: Knowledge-Guided DOMain adaptation for sentiment analysis (ACL 2020)

KinGDOM takes a novel perspective on the task of domain adaptation in sentiment analysis by exploring the role of external commonsense knowledge. It utilizes the ConceptNet knowledge graph to enrich the semantics of a document by providing both domain-specific and domain-general background concepts. These concepts are learned by training a graph convolutional autoencoder that leverages inter-domain concepts in a domain-invariant manner. Conditioning a popular domain-adversarial baseline method with these learned concepts helps improve its performance over state-of-the-art approaches, demonstrating the efficacy of the proposed framework.

Requirements

• scipy==1.3.1
• gensim==3.8.1
• torch==1.6.0
• numpy==1.18.2
• scikit_learn==0.22.2.post1
• torch_geometric==1.6.3

Execution

Download ConceptNet filtered for English language from here and keep in this root directory.

Preprocess, train and extract graph features:

python preprocess_graph.py
python train_and_extract_graph_features.py

We provide pretrained graph features in the graph_features directory. Note that, executing the above commands will overwrite the provided feature files.

Train the main domain adaptation model:

python train.py

Some of the RGCN functionalities are adapted from https://github.com/JinheonBaek/RGCN
