Fine-grained Labels
- Authors: Kasturi Bhattacharjee and Rashmi Gangadharaiah
- Abstract summary: We propose a VAE-based topic modeling approach that performs ABSA using document-level supervision.
Our approach allows for the detection of multiple aspects in a document, thereby allowing for the possibility of reasoning about how sentiment expressed through multiple aspects comes together to form an observable document-level sentiment.

- Abstract: Aspect-based sentiment analysis (ABSA) is a widely studied topic, most often
trained through supervision from human annotations of opinionated texts. These
fine-grained annotations include identifying aspects towards which a user
expresses their sentiment, and their associated polarities (aspect-based
sentiments). Such fine-grained annotations can be expensive and often
infeasible to obtain in real-world settings. There is, however, an abundance of
scenarios where user-generated text contains an overall sentiment, such as a
rating of 1-5 in user reviews or user-generated feedback, which may be
leveraged for this task. In this paper, we propose a VAE-based topic modeling
approach that performs ABSA using document-level supervision and without
requiring fine-grained labels for either aspects or sentiments. Our approach
allows for the detection of multiple aspects in a document, thereby allowing
for the possibility of reasoning about how sentiment expressed through multiple
aspects comes together to form an observable overall document-level sentiment.
We demonstrate results on two benchmark datasets from two different domains,
significantly outperforming a state-of-the-art baseline.

Aspect-Based Sentiment Analysis (ABSA) is a fine-grained linguistics problem that entails the extraction of multifaceted aspects, opinions, and sentiments from the given text.
We present adaptive masking methods that remove irrelevant tokens based on context to assist in Aspect Term Extraction and Aspect Sentiment Classification subtasks of ABSA.

In classic'' authorship analysis a feature vector represents a document, the value of a feature represents (an increasing function of) the relative frequency of the feature in the document, and the class label represents the author of the document.
Our experiments tackle same-author verification, authorship verification, and closed-set authorship attribution; while DVs are naturally geared for solving the 1st, we also provide two novel methods for solving the 2nd and 3rd.

Document-level relation extraction (DocRE) aims to determine the relation between two entities from a document of multiple sentences.
We propose a Sentence Estimation and Focusing (SIEF) framework for DocRE, where we design a sentence importance score and a sentence focusing loss.
Experimental results on two domains show that our SIEF not only improves overall performance, but also makes DocRE models more robust.

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.

Then, we propose a sentiment prediction task that guides the sentiment learner to extract sentiment-aware features via explicit sentiment labels.
