Papers with implicit sentiment analysis
Reasoning Implicit Sentiment with Chain-of-Thought Prompting (2023.acl-short)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | In implicit sentiment analysis, the opinion cues come in an implicit and obscure manner. |
| Approach: | They propose a three-step prompting principle for THOR to step-by-step induce the implicit aspect, opinion and finally the sentiment polarity. |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework pushes the state-of-the-art (SoTA) by over 6% F1 on supervised setup and more strikingly, boosts the SoTA by over 50% F1 with THOR+GPT3. |
Paraphrase Makes Perfect: Leveraging Expression Paraphrase to Improve Implicit Sentiment Learning (2025.coling-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing implicit sentiment learning methods focus on capturing implicit sentiment knowledge individually, without considering the potential connection between implicit and explicit sentiment. |
| Approach: | They propose an expression paraphrase strategy and a sentiment-consistent contrastive learning mechanism to learn the connections between implicit and explicit sentiment expressions and integrate them into the model. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method is effective on implicit sentiment analysis on public datasets. |
Implicit Sentiment Analysis with Event-centered Text Representation (2021.emnlp-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing methods for implicit sentiment analysis simply view noun phrases or entities in text as events or indirectly model events with sophisticated models. |
| Approach: | They propose an event-centric implicit sentiment analysis that utilizes the sentiment-aware event contained in a sentence to infer sentiment polarity. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model can detect sentiment in sentences without sentiment words and is compared to existing models on a benchmark dataset. |
KC-ISA: An Implicit Sentiment Analysis Model Combining Knowledge Enhancement and Context Features (2022.coling-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing research results on explicit sentiment analysis are limited . implicit sentiment analysis is a process of analyzing text based on whether it contains explicit sentiment words. |
| Approach: | They propose a model that integrates external knowledge and contextual features . they use a knowledge graph to supplement implicit sentiment expression . |
| Outcome: | The proposed model can achieve better results on the SMP2019 implicit sentiment analysis dataset. |
Causal Intervention Improves Implicit Sentiment Analysis (2022.coling-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing neural models struggle with implicit sentiment analysis because they latch onto spurious correlations, resulting in poor generalization and robustness. |
| Approach: | They propose a CausaL intervention model for implicit sEntiment ANalysis using instrumental variable to eliminate confounding causal effects and extract the pure causal effect between sentence and sentiment. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model extracts the pure causal effect between sentence and sentiment using instrumental variable. |

| Challenge: | Existing methods lack explainability and generalization, making it difficult to justify inference decisions and detect implicit sentiment across domains and varied expression patterns. |
| Approach: | They propose an explainable multi-path tree-guided chain-of-thought framework specifically designed for ASQP. |
| Outcome: | Experiments on benchmark datasets show that Tree-CoT-RT outperforms baselines. |
