Is Sentiment Banana-Shaped? Exploring the Geometry and Portability of Sentiment Concept Vectors

arXiv CS.CL

ArXi:2601.07995v2 Announce Type: replace Use cases of sentiment analysis in the humanities often require contextualized, continuous scores. Concept Vector Projections (CVP) offer a recent solution: by modeling sentiment as a direction in embedding space, they produce continuous, multilingual scores that align closely with human judgments. Yet the method's portability across domains and underlying assumptions remain underexplored.
