ABSAPapers

Worth-reading papers and related awesome resources on aspect-based sentiment analysis (ABSA). This repository mainly focused on aspect-term sentiment classification (ATSC). ABSA task contains five fine-grained subtasks:

• Aspect Term Sentiment Classification (ATSC)
• Aspect Term Extraction (ATE)
• Aspect Category Sentiment Classification (ACSC)
• Aspect Category Detection (ACD)
• Opniton Term Extraction (OTE)

Suggestions about adding papers, repositories and other resource are welcomed!

值得一读的方面级情感分析论文与相关资源集合。这里主要关注方面词（aspect-term）的情感分类。具体来说，方面级情感分析包括方面词情感分类、方面词抽取、方面类目情感分类、方面类目抽取、观点词抽取五个子任务。

欢迎新增论文、代码仓库与其他资源等建议！

We will add a score table of representative and latest ABSA models like NLP-progress in the near future, so stay tuned!

近期将参考NLP-progress的形式增加一个数据集分值表，敬请期待！
