A Variational Approach to Weakly Supervised Document-Level Multi-Aspect Sentiment Classification (N19-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing weakly supervised methods for document-level multi-aspect sentiment classification are not easy to obtain. |
| Approach: | They propose a variational approach to weakly supervised document-level multi-aspect sentiment classification using target-opinion word pairs as "supervision" they aim to learn a sentiment polarity classifier by optimizing the lower bound . |
| Outcome: | The proposed method outperforms weakly supervised baselines on TripAdvisor and BeerAdvocate datasets and can be comparable to state-of-the-art supervised methods with hundreds of labels per aspect. |
