A Deep-Learning-Driven Study on the Reception of Translated Works:A Case Study of Sentiment Analysis for Readers'Reviews on The Analects Translated by D.C.Lau
This study improves the deep pyramid convolutional neural network by using a dataset of 317.8 million words from book reviews(Amazon Review Polarity)to train the deep learning model.The enhancement increased the classification accuracy of sentiment analysis for reader reviews to 94.69%,providing a more scientific research design and approach for assessing the overseas reception of translated works.Using the reader reviews of D.C.Lau's translation of The Analects on Amazon as a case study,we find that sentiment scores calculated by the new model can more accurately reflect readers'true attitudes compared to star ratings.The overall reception of this translation was specified as 64.22%positive reviews,19.72%neutral reviews,and 16.06%negative reviews.Evaluating the reception of translated works should not rely solely on star ratings but should include multiple dimensions such as the content of the translation,overall translation quality,para-texts,and publication quality.
