Abstract

Aspect-based sentiment analysis aims to determine the sentiment polarity towards a specific aspect in online reviews.Most recent efforts adopt attention-based neural network models to implicitly connect aspects with opinion words.However, due to the complexity of language and the existence of multiple aspects in a single sentence, these models often confuse the connections.In this paper, we address this problem by means of effective encoding of syntax information.Firstly, we define a unified aspect-oriented dependency tree structure rooted at a target aspect by reshaping and pruning an ordinary dependency parse tree.Then, we propose a relational graph attention network (R-GAT) to encode the new tree structure for sentiment prediction.Extensive experiments are conducted on the SemEval 2014 and Twitter datasets, and the experimental results confirm that the connections between aspects and opinion words can be better established with our approach, and the performance of the graph attention network (GAT) is significantly improved as a consequence.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
