跨语言方面情感分析(ABSA)将源语言中有标注的数据知识迁移到目标语言,实现无需目标语言标注数据的细粒度情感分析。尽管单语言ABSA取得显著进展,跨语言ABSA仍处于探索阶段,尤其在涉及多个情感元素的复杂任务如目标-方面-情感检测(TASD)中更为薄弱。本文提出一种新的SeqLab框架,采用序列到序列模型,并由编码器执行辅助序列标注任务,提升方面词识别与情感预测能力。此外,引入基于翻译的领域词切换(ACS)技术,在源语言与译文间交换方面词,生成额外训练数据以增强模型跨语言理解。我们在11种语言、3个领域和2种主干模型上评估该方法,在常见的端到端ABSA任务中超越以往最先进水平。不同于多数仅依赖英语作为源语言的工作,我们系统评估了不同源-目标语言对,并将评估扩展至更困难但研究较少的跨语言TASD任务。最后,我们提供详细错误分析,揭示关键挑战与局限性。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Cross-lingual aspect-based sentiment analysis (ABSA) transfers knowledge from a source language with annotated data to a target language, enabling fine-grained sentiment analysis without annotated target-language data. While monolingual ABSA has seen significant progress, cross-lingual ABSA remains underexplored, especially for complex tasks involving multiple sentiment elements like target-aspect-sentiment detection (TASD). In this paper, we propose a novel SeqLab framework that enhances cross-lingual ABSA using a sequence-to-sequence model with an auxiliary sequence-labelling task performed by the encoder, enhancing aspect term recognition and sentiment predictions. Additionally, we incorporate aspect-code switching (ACS), a translation-based technique that swaps aspect terms between source and translated sentences, generating additional training data to enhance the model's cross-lingual understanding. We evaluate our approach across eleven languages, three domains, and two backbone models, surpassing previous state-of-the-art results for the commonly studied E2E-ABSA task. Unlike most prior work that relies solely on English as the source language, we systematically assess different source-target language pairs and extend our evaluation to the more challenging, yet underexplored TASD task in cross-lingual settings. Finally, we provide a detailed error analysis highlighting key challenges and limitations.
