Sentimental Style Transfer in Text with Multigenerative Variational Auto-Encoder

Style transfer is an emerging trend in the fields of deep learning's applications, especially in images and audio data this is proven very useful and sometimes the results are astonishing. Gradually styles of textual data are also being changed in many novel works. This paper focuses on the transfer of the sentimental vibe of a sentence. Given a positive clause, the negative version of that clause or sentence is generated keeping the context same. The opposite is also done with negative sentences. Previously this was a very tough job because the go-to techniques for such tasks such as Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) [1] and Long Short-Term Memories(LSTMs) [2] can't perform well with it. But since newer technologies like Generative Adversarial Network(GAN) and Variational AutoEncoder(VAE) are emerging, this work seem to become more and more possible and effective. In this paper, Multi-Genarative Variational Auto-Encoder is employed to transfer sentiment values. Inspite of working with a small dataset, this model proves to be promising.
