Abstract
Aspect-Based Sentiment Analysis (ABSA) is crucial for in-depth mining and analysis of opinion expressions and sentiment tendencies in massive user review texts. Most of the existing researches on ABSA in Chinese only consider a single contextual semantic feature, while ignoring syntactic dependency feature, and rarely addresses the realization of multiple tasks in the same model. From the perspective of multi-task unification, this paper proposes a multi-task unified model for Chinese aspect-based sentiment analysis (MTUC-ABSA), which integrates Bi-directional Long Short-Term Memory (Bi-LSTM) and Graph Convolutional Network (GCN) to learn multiple features between context and sentiment elements, and uses the unified Machine Reading Comprehension (MRC) paradigm to build a multi-task model, which mainly focuses on the aspect sentiment triplet extraction (ASTE) task. Experimental results on real data sets show that our method can effectively improve the accuracy of aspect-based sentiment analysis compared with other existing methods.
期刊介绍:
Computer Speech & Language publishes reports of original research related to the recognition, understanding, production, coding and mining of speech and language.
The speech and language sciences have a long history, but it is only relatively recently that large-scale implementation of and experimentation with complex models of speech and language processing has become feasible. Such research is often carried out somewhat separately by practitioners of artificial intelligence, computer science, electronic engineering, information retrieval, linguistics, phonetics, or psychology.
