The paper introduces the concept of aspect sentiment coherency, which refers to the common pattern where adjacent aspects often share similar sentiments. This phenomenon has been overlooked in existing research, despite its prevalence.
To address this, the authors propose a novel local sentiment aggregation (LSA) paradigm. LSA constructs a differential-weighted sentiment aggregation window based on various aspect-specific features to guide the modeling of aspect sentiment coherency. Three variants of LSA are introduced, namely LSAP, LSAT, and LSAS, each utilizing different aspect feature representations.
The authors conduct extensive experiments to evaluate the performance of LSA in aspect sentiment coherency extraction and traditional aspect sentiment classification. The results demonstrate that LSA significantly outperforms existing state-of-the-art models in both tasks, setting new benchmarks across five public datasets. The authors also showcase LSA's promising ability in defending against adversarial attacks in aspect-based sentiment analysis.
Furthermore, the authors provide a case study to validate LSA's capability in learning local sentiment coherency. The results highlight LSA's effectiveness in identifying aspect sentiment clusters and coherent sentiments, even in the presence of adverse sentiment aggregation.
Overall, this work offers a new perspective on aspect-based sentiment analysis by introducing the concept of aspect sentiment coherency and proposing an efficient and effective solution to model it, leading to substantial improvements in sentiment analysis performance.
