Resources of domain adaptation papers on sentiment analysis that have used Amazon reviews

The Multi-Domain Sentiment Dataset was used in many domain adapation papers for sentiment analysis task. It was first used in Blitzer et al, (2007). It contains more than 340, 000 reviews from 25 different types of products from Amazon.com (Chen et al.2012). Some domains (books and dvds) have hundreds of thousands of reviews. Others (musical instruments) have only a few hundred. Reviews contain star ratings (1 to 5 stars) that can be converted into binary labels if needed. A subset of this dataset containing four different product types: books, DVDs, electronics and kitchen appliances was used by Blitzer et al. (2007), which contains reviews of four types of products: books, DVDs, electronics, and kitchen appliances. And reviews with rating > 3 were labeled positive, those with rating < 3 were labeled negative. Each domain (product type) consists of 2, 000 labeled inputs and approximately 4, 000 unlabeled ones (varying slightly between domains) and the two classes are exactly balanced. Many works follow that convention, only experiment on this smaller set with its more manageable twelve domain adaptation tasks or multi-source domain adaptation where one domain is used as target all the others used as sources domains. However, the representations in different papers, such as how many features kept in bag-of-word representations, are different. Follow the early deep learning approach Glorot et al.(2011) SDA paper, the representations in Chen et al. 2012 mSDA paper was used in many works, where each reviews are preprocessed as a feature vector of unigram and bigram and you can choose to use the top 5000 most frequent features or use all the features.

Here is a brief list of the papers (to be continued) that have used this dataset along with results reported and also their implementation if there are any.

  Ajakan et al., 2014, Domain-Adversarial Neural Networks [NIPS 2014workshop] - evaluate on Amazon reviewers dataset

  NOTE: The authors came up similar idea then published the journal paper together as said by Ganin and Victor(2015): "a very similar idea to ours has been developed in parallel and independently for shallow architecture (with a single hidden layer) in (Ajakan et al., 2014). Their system is evaluated on a natural language task (sentiment analysis). "
