A Challenge Dataset and Effective Models for Aspect-Based Sentiment Analysis (D19-1)

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: Existing ABSA methods only use one aspect or multiple aspects with the same sentiment polarity . recent studies show that neural network methods can be trained end-to-end and automatically learn important features.
Approach: They propose a large-scale multi-aspect multi-sentiment dataset with two different aspects with different sentiment polarities.
Outcome: The proposed model outperforms the state-of-the-art models on the large-scale dataset . it is based on a novel neural network approach that can be trained end-to-end .
AoM: Detecting Aspect-oriented Information for Multimodal Aspect-Based Sentiment Analysis (2023.findings-acl)

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: Existing methods to extract aspects from text-image pairs and recognize their sentiments are noisy and coarsely establishing image-aspect alignment will interfere with aspect-relevant semantic and sentiment information.
Approach: They propose an Aspect-oriented method to detect aspect-relevant semantic and sentiment information by selecting textual tokens and image blocks that are semantically related to the aspects.
Outcome: The proposed method is superior to existing methods in the field of sentiment analysis.
Face-Sensitive Image-to-Emotional-Text Cross-modal Translation for Multimodal Aspect-based Sentiment Analysis (2022.emnlp-main)
