Generative ABSA

This repo contains the data and code for our paper Towards Generative Aspect-Based Sentiment Analysis in ACL 2021.

Requirements

Pls note that some packages (such as transformers) are under highly active development, so we highly recommend you to install the specified version of the following packages:

  • transformers==4.0.0
  • sentencepiece==0.1.91
  • pytorch_lightning==0.8.1

Quick Start

  • Set up the environment as described in the above section
  • Download the pre-trained T5-base model (you can also use larger versions for better performance depending on the availability of the computation resource), put it under the folder T5-base.
    • You can also skip this step and the pre-trained model would be automatically downloaded to the cache in the next step
  • Run command sh run.sh, which runs the UABSA task on the laptop14 dataset.

Detailed Usage

We conduct experiments on four ABSA tasks with four datasets in the paper, you can change the parameters in run.sh to try them:

python main.py --task $task \
            --dataset $dataset \
            --model_name_or_path t5-base \
            --paradigm $paradigm \
            --n_gpu 0 \
            --do_train \
            --do_direct_eval \
            --train_batch_size 16 \
            --gradient_accumulation_steps 2 \
            --eval_batch_size 16 \
            --learning_rate 3e-4 \
            --num_train_epochs 20 
  • $task refers to one of the ABSA task in [aope, uabsa, aste, tasd]
  • $dataset refers to one of the four datasets in [laptop14, rest14, rest15, rest6]
  • $paradigm refers to one of the two paradigms proposed in the model.

More details can be found in the paper and the help info in the main.py.
