Aspect Category

Aspect category detection, a crucial subtask within aspect-based sentiment analysis (ABSA), aims to identify the topics (e.g., food quality, service) discussed in text expressing opinions. Current research emphasizes improving accuracy and efficiency, particularly in low-resource settings, using techniques like label-guided prompting, hierarchical disentanglement within neural networks (e.g., CNNs, transformers), and data augmentation strategies to address data imbalance. These advancements are significant for enhancing the understanding of nuanced sentiment in text, with applications ranging from improved customer service to more effective social media monitoring.
