• Abstract: Aspect Based Sentiment Analysis (ABSA) is the task of identifying sentiment polarity of a text given another text segment or aspect. In ABSA, a text can have multiple sentiments depending upon each aspect. Aspect Term Sentiment Analysis (ATSA) is a subtask of ABSA, in which aspect terms are contained within the given sentence. Most of the existing approaches proposed for ATSA, incorporate aspect information through a different subnetwork thereby overlooking the advantage of aspect terms' presence within the sentence. In this paper, we propose a model that leverages the positional information of the aspect. The proposed model introduces a decay mechanism based on position. This decay function mandates the contribution of input words for ABSA. The contribution of a word declines as farther it is positioned from the aspect terms in the sentence. The performance is measured on two standard datasets from SemEval 2014 Task 4. In comparison with recent architectures, the effectiveness of the proposed model is demonstrated.

  Aspect-based sentiment analysis (ABSA) delves into understanding sentiments specific to distinct elements within a user-generated review. We introduce the OATS dataset, which encompasses three fresh domains and consists of 27,470 sentence-level quadruples and 17,092 review-levels. Our initiative seeks to bridge specific observed gaps: the recurrent focus on familiar domains like restaurants and laptops, limited data for intricate quadruple extraction tasks, and an occasional oversight of the synergy between sentence and review-level sentiments.

  We propose Dynamic Re-weighting BERT (DR-BERT) to learn dynamic aspect-oriented semantics for ABSA. Specifically, we first take the Stack-BERT layers as a primary encoder to grasp the overall semantic of the sentence. We then fine-tune it by incorporating a lightweight Dynamic Re-weighting Adapter (DRA)

  This paper proposes a unified framework to address aspect categorization and aspect-based sentiment subtasks. We introduce a mechanism to construct an auxiliary-sentence for the implicit aspect using the corpus's semantic information. We then encourage BERT to learn aspect-specific representation in response to this auxiliary-sentence, not the aspect itself.

  We proposed a method that uses an auxiliary sentence about aspects that the sentence contains to help sentiment prediction. The first is aspect detection, which uses a multi-aspects detection model to predict all aspects that the sentence has. The second is to do out-of-domain aspect-based sentiment analysis(ABSA), train sentiment classification model with one kind of dataset and validate it with another kind of dataset.

We propose a novel textscParaphrase modeling paradigm to cast the ASQP task to a paraphrase generation process. On the other hand, the semantics of the sentiment elements can be fully exploited by learning to generate them in the natural language form.

  We extend the state-of-the-art Hybrid Approach for Aspect-Based Sentiment Analysis (HAABSA) in two directions. First we replace the non-contextual word embeddings with deep contextual word embeddings in order to better cope with the word semantics in a given text. Second, we use hierarchical attention by adding an extra attention layer to the HAABSA high-level representations in order to increase the method flexibility in modeling the input data.
