Aspect sentiment quad prediction (ASQP) is a key aspect-based sentiment analysis task, focusing on predicting the quad sentiment elements in a given sentence. Recent research has achieved commendable results using generative models to achieve this task. However, these studies frequently fail to leverage the connections between sentiment components, overlooking the interplay within sentiment tuples and the impact of varied linguistic expressions on outcomes. In addition, previous works often ignore the potential built-in negative samples of the model, resulting in errors in quadruple prediction. To address these limitations, we propose multi-template sequence generation to achieve different input and target expressions, and we introduce unlikelihood learning to motivate the model to clearly distinguish semantically close or similar words, suppressing the generation of negative samples. Furthermore, we introduce a prediction correction strategy to optimize the generated output. Our method exhibits superiority over existing approaches, as evidenced by experimental results on 4 public datasets, outperforming various baseline methods and achieving better performance on benchmark test sets.

摘要

Aspect sentiment quad prediction (ASQP) is a key aspect-based sentiment analysis task, focusing on predicting the quad sentiment elements in a given sentence. Recent research has achieved commendable results using generative models to achieve this task. However, these studies frequently fail to leverage the connections between sentiment components, overlooking the interplay within sentiment tuples and the impact of varied linguistic expressions on outcomes. In addition, previous works often ignore the potential built-in negative samples of the model, resulting in errors in quadruple prediction. To address these limitations, we propose multi-template sequence generation to achieve different input and target expressions, and we introduce unlikelihood learning to motivate the model to clearly distinguish semantically close or similar words, suppressing the generation of negative samples. Furthermore, we introduce a prediction correction strategy to optimize the generated output. Our method exhibits superiority over existing approaches, as evidenced by experimental results on 4 public datasets, outperforming various baseline methods and achieving better performance on benchmark test sets.
