A Unified Span-Based Approach for Opinion Mining with Syntactic Constituents (2021.naacl-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing methods for fine-grained opinion mining (OM) are based on span-based annotations, but they are not effective. |
| Approach: | They propose a unified span-based approach for the end-to-end OM setting using syntactic constituents and multi-task learning to integrate them into the proposed model. |
| Outcome: | The proposed approach achieves significant improvements over previous work on the MPQA 2.0 dataset and reduces the number of wrongly-predicted opinion expressions and roles. |
