It also has important applications in the fields of commodity reviews and public opinion monitor. The performance of the bidirectional recurrent neural network model based on the word attention mechanism relies heavily on the accuracy of word segmentation. In addition, the attention mechanism has more parameter dependencies, making the model less concerned with the internal sequence relationships of short texts. Aiming at the above problems, this paper proposes a Chinese short text sentiment analysis algorithm based on the character vector representation method combined with Self-attention and BiLSTM. Firstly, the short text is vectrized, then the BiLSTM network is used to extract texts context feature. Finally, the feature weights are dynamically adjusted by the self-attention mechanism, and the Softmax classifier obtains the emotion category. Experimental results on the COAE 2014 Weibo dataset and hotel review datasets show that character vectors are more suitable for short text than word-level text vector representations. The self-attention mechanism can reduce the external parameter dependence, so that the model can learn more key features of the text itself. Classification performance can be increased by 1.15% and 1.41%, respectively. %U http://jcip.cipsc.org.cn/EN/abstract/article_2787.shtml
