Title:
Challenges in Aspect-based Sentiment Analysis
Abstract:
This talk will present the challenges for the research area known as
aspect-based sentiment analysis. Sentiment Analysis (or Opinion Mining) is a
field of study in Natural Language Processing that aims to extract and classify
the sentiment orientation present in texts. Aspect-based Sentiment Analysis
(ABSA) is a particular study of sentiment analysis focusing in the extraction
of opinions directed to a
specific target or aspect.
ABSA has gained a lot of attention and was popularized in the academic field
with a dedicated shared task in the last three SemEval workshops (semantic
evaluation competition). This talk will present the actual challenges and how
are the state-of-art in terms of machine learning algorithms.
Short Bio:
Pedro Balage is a researcher at Priberam and a PhD student from the University
of São Paulo with his topic on Aspect-based Sentiment Analysis. Pedro got his
masters in Computational Linguistics by the program Erasmus Mundus
International Masters in Natural Language Processing.
