Abstract: With the rapid proliferation of substantial textual data from sources such as social media, online comments, and news articles, sentiment analysis has become increasingly crucial. However, existing deep learning methods have overlooked the significance of part-of-speech (POS) and emotional words in understanding the emotion of text. Based on this, this paper proposes a sentiment analysis approach that combines multiple features with a dual-channel network. Firstly, the vector representation of the text is obtained through Robustly Optimized BERT Pretraining Approach (RoBERTa). Secondly, the POS features and word emotional features are separately updated using self-attention to calculate weights. Concatenating words, POS and emotion, feature dimension reduction and fusion are achieved through a linear layer. Finally, the fused feature vector is input into a dual-channel network composed of Bidirectional Gated Recurrent Unit (BiGRU) and Deep Pyramid Convolutional Neural Network (DPCNN). Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method achieves higher classification accuracy than the comparative methods on three sentiment analysis datasets. Moreover, the experimental results fully validate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
