- Abstract summary: We propose a novel training framework to mitigate the multi-aspect challenge of sentiment analysis.
A source sentence is fed a domain-specific generator to obtain some synthetic sentences.
The generator generates aspect-specific sentences and a Polarity Augmentation (PAC) to generate polarity-inverted sentences.
Our framework can outperform those baselines without any augmentations by about 1% on accuracy and Macro-F1.

- Abstract: Aspect-Based Sentiment Analysis is a fine-grained sentiment analysis task,
which focuses on detecting the sentiment polarity towards the aspect in a
sentence. However, it is always sensitive to the multi-aspect challenge, where
features of multiple aspects in a sentence will affect each other. To mitigate
this issue, we design a novel training framework, called Contrastive
Cross-Channel Data Augmentation (C3DA). A source sentence will be fed a
domain-specific generator to obtain some synthetic sentences and is
concatenated with these generated sentences to conduct supervised training and
proposed contrastive training. To be specific, considering the limited ABSA
labeled data, we also introduce some parameter-efficient approaches to complete
sentences generation. This novel generation method consists of an Aspect
Augmentation Channel (AAC) to generate aspect-specific sentences and a Polarity
Augmentation (PAC) to generate polarity-inverted sentences. According to our
extensive experiments, our C3DA framework can outperform those baselines
without any augmentations by about 1\% on accuracy and Macro-F1.

Aspect-based Sentiment Analysis (ABSA) is an important sentiment analysis task, which aims to determine the sentiment polarity towards an aspect in a sentence.
Due to the expensive and limited labeled data, data augmentation (DA) has become the standard for improving the performance of ABSA.
We propose a systematic Iterative Data augmentation framework, namely IterD, to boost the performance of ABSA.

Aspect-Based Sentiment Analysis (ABSA) is increasingly crucial in Natural Language Processing (NLP)
ABSA goes beyond traditional sentiment analysis by extracting sentiments related to specific aspects mentioned in the text.
We propose Amplifying Aspect-Sentence Awareness (A3SN), a novel technique designed to enhance ABSA through amplifying aspect-sentence awareness attention.

We propose a novel diffusion model tailored for ABSA, which extracts the aspects progressively step by step.
DiffusionABSA gradually adds noise to the aspect terms in the training process, subsequently learning a denoising process that progressively restores these terms in a reverse manner.
To estimate the boundaries, we design a denoising neural network enhanced by a syntax-aware temporal attention mechanism.

We present an early trial to explore adversarial training methods to optimize AUC.
We reformulate the AUC optimization problem as a saddle point problem, where the objective becomes an instance-wise function.
Our analysis differs from the existing studies since the algorithm is asked to generate adversarial examples by calculating the gradient of a min-max problem.
