A Survey on Aspect-Based Sentiment Classification
The essay reviews methods for analyzing sentiments tied to specific aspects or features of entities, such as product components. It introduces Aspect-Based Sentiment Classification (ABSC), a fine-grained approach to sentiment analysis that focuses on identifying and classifying sentiments about specific aspects. The paper categorizes ABSC models into three groups: knowledge-based models, machine learning models (including SVMs and deep learning), and hybrid approaches that combine both.The essay also discusses key challenges, such as handling implicit aspects, processing sentences with multiple aspects, and dealing with complex language structures. Recent advances in deep learning and transformer models are highlighted as major contributors to improving performance in ABSC tasks. Finally, the essay points to future directions, suggesting a focus on better aspect detection, handling implicit aspects more effectively, and improving the scalability of ABSC models.
