ABSA-PyTorch

Aspect Based Sentiment Analysis, PyTorch Implementations.

基于方面的情感分析，使用PyTorch实现。

Requirement

pytorch >= 0.4.0
numpy >= 1.13.3
sklearn
python 3.6 / 3.7
transformers

To install requirements, run pip install -r requirements.txt.

For non-BERT-based models, GloVe pre-trained word vectors are required, please refer to data_utils.py for more detail.

Usage

Training

python train.py --model_name bert_spc --dataset restaurant

All implemented models are listed in models directory.
See train.py for more training arguments.
Refer to train_k_fold_cross_val.py for k-fold cross validation support.

Inference

Refer to infer_example.py for non-BERT-based models.
Refer to infer_example_bert_models.py for BERT-based models.

Tips

For non-BERT-based models, training procedure is not very stable.
BERT-based models are more sensitive to hyperparameters (especially learning rate) on small data sets, see this issue.
Fine-tuning on the specific task is necessary for releasing the true power of BERT.
