PLM4ViSMT: A Pre-Trained Language Model for Vietnamese Social
Media Text Processing Apr. 2023 - Jun. 2023
• Presented PLM4ViSMT, the first pre-trained language model for Vietnamese social media texts.
• Achieved SOTA performances on 5 Vietnamese downstream social media tasks compared to 6 strong pre-trained language
models.
• Analyzed experimental results on the masking rate, examining 3 Vietnamese social media characteristics and imple-
menting feature-based extraction for task-specific models.
ViCGCN: Graph Convolutional Network with Contextualized Language
Models for Social Media Mining in Vietnamese Jan. 2023 - Mar. 2023
• Proposed a novel approach for text classification on Vietnamese social media using a joint training of large-scale language
pre-trained language model PhoBERT and Graph Convolutional Networks modules.
• Achieved SOTA results on 3 Vietnamese social media benchmarks, including Vietnamese emotion recognition, construc-
tive and toxic analysis, and sentiment analysis.
• Addressed 2 main challenges of imbalanced and noisy data in benchmark Vietnamese social media dataset.
A Novel Incremental Learning Approach Based on Deep Recurrent
Neural Networks for Multi-domain Sentiment Analysis Mar. 2023 - Jul. 2023
• Proposed an incremental learning training algorithm adaptable to a wide variety of real-world online multi-domain
sentiment analysis challenges and capable of continuous learning.
• The proposed algorithm reduces training time on multi-domain sentiment analysis compared to 6 traditional deep
recurrent neural networks.
An Empirical Study of Time Series Models for Small-Scale Temperature
Forecasting in Ho Chi Minh City Apr. 2022 - Aug. 2022
• Introduced a new temperature and related properties dataset in Ho Chi Minh City from 2000 to 2021.
• Built a small-scale temperature forecasting system applying state-of-the-art time series models.
