Embedding Refinement Framework for Targeted Aspect-Based Sentiment Analysis

Abstract
En 中文
The state-of-the-art approaches to targeted aspect-based sentiment analysis (TABSA) are mostly built on deep neural networks with attention mechanisms. One problem is that embeddings of targets and aspects are either pre-trained from large external corpora or randomly initialized. We argue that affective commonsense knowledge and words indicative of sentiment could be used to learn better target and aspect embeddings. We therefore propose an embedding refinement framework called RAEC (Refining Affective Embedding from Context), in which sentiment concepts extracted from affective commonsense knowledge and word relative location information are incorporated to derive context-affective embeddings. Furthermore, a sparse coefficient vector is exploited in refining the embeddings of targets and aspects separately. In this way, embeddings of targets and aspects can capture the highly relevant affective words. Experimental results on two benchmark datasets show that our framework can be easily integrated with existing embedding-based TABSA models and achieves state-of-the-art results compared to models relying on pre-trained word embeddings or built on other embedding refinement methods.
