2 Classification: A Primer Classification (aka categorization ) is the task of assigning data items to groups ( classes ) whose existence is known in advance; e.g., Assigning newspaper articles to one or more of Home News, Politics, Economy, Lifestyles, Sports Assigning comments about products to exactly one of Excellent, Good, Average, Poor, Disastrous Classification requires subjective judgment : assigning natural numbers to either Prime or NonPrime is not classification (Automatic) Classification is usually tackled via supervised machine learning : a general-purpose learning algorithm trains (using a set of manually classified items) a classifier to recognize the characteristics an item should have in order to be attributed to a given class 2 / 32

4 What is quantification? (cont d) 4 / 32
5 What is quantification? (cont d) In many applications of classification, the real goal is determining the relative frequency (or: prevalence) of each class in the unlabelled data (quantification, a.k.a. supervised prevalence estimation) E.g. Among the tweets about the next presidential elections, what is the fraction of pro-democrat ones? Among the posts about the Apple Watch 3 posted on forums, what is the fraction of very negative ones? How have these percentages evolved over time? This task has been studied within IR, ML, DM, NLP, and has given rise to learning methods and evaluation measures specific to it 5 / 32
6 The paradox of quantification Is classify and count the optimal quantification strategy? No! A perfect classifier is also a perfect quantifier (i.e., estimator of class prevalence), but a good classifier is not necessarily a good quantifier (and vice versa) : FP FN Classifier A Classifier B Paradoxically, we should choose quantifier B rather than quantifier A, since A is biased This means that quantification should be studied as a task in its own right 6 / 32
7 Vapnik s Principle Key observation: classification is a more general problem than quantification Vapnik s principle: If you possess a restricted amount of information for solving some problem, try to solve the problem directly and never solve a more general problem as an intermediate step. It is possible that the available information is sufficient for a direct solution but is insufficient for solving a more general intermediate problem. This suggests solving quantification directly (without solving classification as an intermediate step) with the goal of achieving higher quantification accuracy than if we opted for the indirect solution 7 / 32
8 What is quantification? (cont d) Quantification may be also defined as the task of approximating a true distribution by a predicted distribution +,-.!6,:8324,! 6,:8324,! 6,73-89! ,! +,-.!/012324,! "#"""$! "#%""$! "#&""$! "#'""$! "#(""$! "#)""$! "#*""$!! As a result, evaluation measures for quantification are divergences, which evaluate how much a predicted distribution diverges from the true distribution 8 / 32
9 Distribution drift The need to perform quantification arises because of distribution drift, i.e., the presence of a discrepancy between the class distribution of Tr and that of Te. Distribution drift may derive when the environment is not stationary across time and/or space and/or other variables, and the testing conditions are irreproducible at training time the process of labelling training data is class-dependent (e.g., stratified training sets) the labelling process introduces bias in the training set (e.g., if active learning is used) Distribution drift clashes with the IID assumption, on which standard ML algorithms are instead based. 9 / 32
10 Applications of quantification A number of fields where classification is used are not interested in individual data, but in data aggregated across spatio-temporal contexts and according to other variables (e.g., gender, age group, religion, job type,...); e.g., Social sciences : studying indicators concerning society and the relationships among individuals within it 2 [Others] may be interested in finding the needle in the haystack, but social scientists are more commonly interested in characterizing the haystack. (Hopkins and King, 2010) Political science : e.g., predicting election results by estimating the prevalence of blog posts (or tweets) supporting a given candidate or party 2 D. Hopkins and G. King, A Method of Automated Nonparametric Content Analysis for Social Science. American Journal of Political Science 54(1), / 32
11 Applications of quantification (cont d) Epidemiology : concerned with tracking the incidence and the spread of diseases; e.g., estimate pathology prevalence from clinical reports where pathologies are diagnosed estimate the prevalence of different causes of death from verbal accounts of symptoms Market Research : concerned with estimating the distribution of consumers attitudes about products, product features, or marketing strategies; e.g., quantifying customers attitudes from verbal responses to open-ended questions Others : e.g., estimating the proportion of no-shows within a set of bookings estimating the proportions of different types of cells in blood samples 11 / 32
12 Quantification methods Quantification methods belong to two classes 1. Aggregative : they require the classification of individual items as a basic step 2. Non-aggregative : quantification is performed without performing classification Aggregative methods may be further subdivided into 1a. Methods using general-purpose learners (i.e., originally devised for classification); can use any supervised learning algorithm that returns posterior probabilities 1b. Methods using special-purpose learners (i.e., especially devised for quantification) 12 / 32
13 Evaluating quantification methods Quantification accuracy is often analysed by class prevalence...

16 Sentiment quantification 16 / 32
17 Sentiment analysis Sentiment Quantification is a part of Sentiment Analysis, a set of tasks concerned with the analysing of texts according to the sentiments / opinions / emotions / judgments expressed in them SA is the Holy Grail of market research, opinion research, and online reputation management. Mostly concerned with analysing user-generated content in online media, such as product reviews or (micro-)blog posts 17 / 32
18 How Difficult is Sentiment Analysis? Sentiment analysis is inherently difficult, because in order to express opinions / emotions / etc. we often use a wide variety of sophisticated expressive means (e.g., metaphor, irony, sarcasm, allegation, understatement, etc.) At that time, Clint Eastwood had only two facial expressions: with the hat and without it. (from an interview with Sergio Leone) She runs the gamut of emotions from A to B (on Katharine Hepburn in The Lake, 1934) If you are reading this because it is your darling fragrance, please wear it at home exclusively, and tape the windows shut. (from a 2008 review of parfum Amarige, Givenchy) Sentiment analysis characterised as an NLP-complete problem 18 / 32
19 Sentiment quantification An interesting instance of quantification is sentiment quantification, i.e., supervised prevalence estimation for sentiment-related classes 3 Sentiment quantification (and classification) may be binary (Positive, Negative) ternary (Positive, Negative, Neutral) ordinal (e.g., Excellent, Good, Average, Poor, Disastrous) Each such case has its own learning algorithms and evaluation measures 3 A. Esuli and F. Sebastiani. Sentiment Quantification. IEEE Intelligent Systems, 25(4):72-75, / 32
20 Sentiment quantification (cont d) It is often the case that we perform sentiment classification with quantification in mind Example 1 (CRM): How satisfied are you with our mobile phone services? Asked by: telecom company Class of interest: MayDefectToCompetition Goal: classification (at the individual level) Example 2 (MR): How do you like the recent ad for product X? Asked by: MR agency Class of interest: LovedTheCampaign Goal: quantification (at the aggregate level) 20 / 32
21 Sentiment quantification (cont d) A typical medium for which sentiment classification is performed with quantification in mind is Twitter The 2016 and 2017 editions of the SemEval task Sentiment Analysis in Twitter include two subtasks each ( ternary and ordinal ) on quantification Experiments show that methods specifically aimed at quantification estimate class prevalences more accurately than standard CC in both the ternary 4 and ordinal 5 cases 4 W. Gao and F. Sebastiani. From Classification to Quantification in Tweet Sentiment Analysis. Social Network Analysis and Mining, 6(19), G. Da San Martino, W. Gao, and F. Sebastiani. Ordinal Text Quantification. Proceedings of SIGIR / 32
22 Conclusion Quantification: a relatively (yet) unexplored new task, with many research problems still open Growing awareness that (sentiment) quantification is going to be more and more important; given the advent of big data, application contexts will spring up in which we will simply be happy with analysing data at the aggregate (rather than at the individual) level 22 / 32
