Challenge: Recent studies ignored the syntactic relationship between the aspect and its corresponding context words, leading the model to focus on syntaktically unrelated words mistakenly.
Approach: They propose to extend the graph convolutional network by assigning different weights to edges of connected words.
Outcome: The proposed method can improve on five datasets showing that it learns and exploits multiword relations and draws different weights of words to improve performance.
