Learning Cooperative Interactions for Multi-Overlap Aspect Sentiment Triplet Extraction

Shiman Zhao, Wei Chen, Tengjiao Wang

Abstract

Aspect sentiment triplet extraction (ASTE) is an essential task, which aims to extract triplets(aspect, opinion, sentiment). However, overlapped triplets, especially multi-overlap triplets,make ASTE a challenge. Most existing methods suffer from multi-overlap triplets becausethey focus on the single interactions between an aspect and an opinion. To solve the aboveissues, we propose a novel multi-overlap triplet extraction method, which decodes the complexrelations between multiple aspects and opinions by learning their cooperative interactions. Overall, the method is based on an encoder-decoder architecture. During decoding, we design ajoint decoding mechanism, which employs a multi-channel strategy to generate aspects andopinions through the cooperative interactions between them jointly. Furthermore, we constructa correlation-enhanced network to reinforce the interactions between related aspectsand opinions for sentiment prediction. Besides, a relation-wise calibration scheme is adoptedto further improve performance. Experiments show that our method outperforms baselines,especially multi-overlap triplets.
