Challenge: Existing ABSA research relies on coarse-grained categorical labels, which limits its ability to capture nuanced affective states.
Approach: They propose a dimensional approach that represents sentiment with continuous valence–arousal (VA) scores, enabling fine-grained analysis at both the aspect and sentiment levels.
Outcome: The proposed approach represents sentiment with continuous valence–arousal (VA) scores, enabling fine-grained analysis at both the aspect and sentiment levels.
