This IEEE conference paper, published in September 2022, recognises emotion in Filipino students' Taglish tweets during COVID-19 with an attention-based bidirectional GRU (Bi-GRU).
- Taglish switches between Tagalog and English inside a single sentence.
- The emotional weight often sits in the language the sentiment model was not trained on, so an English-only classifier misses the point.
- The attention layer weights the side of a code-switched sentence that carries the emotion.
