Visibility Graphs in Natural Language Processing

Happy to share our latest paper titled “Emotion Classification with Visibility Graphs” published in IEEE Signal Processing Letters! Our novel approach introduces a visibility graph-based sequential modeling to encapsulate global relationships within texts beyond the reach of fixed context windows of transformers. Being a modular graph-based extension to any transformer-based model, our proposed approach enhances […]
