• Title: Generative Aspect-Based Sentiment Analysis with Contrastive Learning and Expressive Structure
• Authors: Joseph J. Peper, Lu Wang
• Abstract summary: We introduce GEN-SCL-NAT, which consists of two techniques for improved structured generation for ACOS quadruple extraction. First, we propose GEN-SCL, a supervised contrastive learning objective that aids quadruple prediction by encouraging the model to produce input representations that are discriminable across key input attributes. Second, we introduce GEN-NAT, a new structured generation format that better adapts autoregressive encoder-decoder models to extract quadruples in a generative fashion.

• Abstract: Generative models have demonstrated impressive results on Aspect-based Sentiment Analysis (ABSA) tasks, particularly for the emerging task of extracting Aspect-Category-Opinion-Sentiment (ACOS) quadruples. However, these models struggle with implicit sentiment expressions, which are commonly observed in opinionated content such as online reviews. In this work, we introduce GEN-SCL-NAT, which consists of two techniques for improved structured generation for ACOS quadruple extraction. First, we propose GEN-SCL, a supervised contrastive learning objective that aids quadruple prediction by encouraging the model to produce input representations that are discriminable across key input attributes, such as sentiment polarity and the existence of implicit opinions and aspects. Second, we introduce GEN-NAT, a new structured generation format that better adapts autoregressive encoder-decoder models to extract quadruples in a generative fashion. Experimental results show that GEN-SCL-NAT achieves top performance across three ACOS datasets, averaging 1.48% F1 improvement, with a maximum 1.73% increase on the LAPTOP-L1 dataset. Additionally, we see significant gains on implicit aspect and opinion splits that have been shown as challenging for existing ACOS approaches.

  This paper proposes a novel cross-granularity alignment gait recognition method, named XGait. To achieve this goal, the XGait first contains two branches of backbone encoders to map the silhouette sequences and the parsing sequences into two latent spaces. Comprehensive experiments on two large-scale gait datasets show XGait with the Rank-1 accuracy of 80.5% on Gait3D and 88.3% CCPG.

  Bidirectional Awareness Induction (BAI) is a training method that leverages a subset of elements in the network, the Pivots, to perform bidirectional learning without breaking the autoregressive constraints. In particular, we observed an increase of up to 2.4 CIDEr in Image-Captioning, 4.96 BLEU in Neural Machine Translation, and 1.16 ROUGE in Text Summarization compared to the respective baselines.

  Scene graph generation (SGG) of surgical procedures is crucial in enhancing holistically cognitive intelligence in the operating room (OR) Previous works have primarily relied on multi-stage learning, where the generated semantic scene graphs depend on intermediate processes with pose estimation and object detection. In this study, we introduce a novel single-stage bi-modal transformer framework for SGG in the OR, termed S2Former-OR.

  We propose a new method iACOS for extracting Implicit Aspects with Categories and Opinions with Sentiments. iACOS appends two implicit tokens at the end of a text to capture the context-aware representation of all tokens including implicit aspects and opinions. We show that iACOS significantly outperforms other quadruple extraction baselines according to the F1 score on two public benchmark datasets.

  Recent datasets expose the lack of the systematic generalization ability in standard sequence-to-sequence models. We analyze this behavior of seq2seq models and identify two contributing factors: a lack of mutual exclusivity bias and the tendency to memorize whole examples. We show substantial empirical improvements using standard sequence-to-sequence models on two widely-used compositionality datasets.
