An Empirical Study of Benchmarking Chinese Aspect Sentiment Quad Prediction
Aspect sentiment quad prediction (ASQP) is a critical subtask of aspect-level sentiment analysis. Current ASQP datasets are characterized by their small size and low quadruple density, which hinders technical development. To expand capacity, we construct two large Chinese ASQP datasets crawled from multiple online platforms. The datasets hold several significant characteristics: larger size (each with 10,000+ samples) and rich aspect categories, more words per sentence, and higher density than existing ASQP datasets. Moreover, we are the first to evaluate the performance of Generative Pre-trained Transformer (GPT) series models on ASQP and exhibit potential issues. The experiments with state-of-the-art ASQP baselines underscore the need to explore additional techniques to address ASQP, as well as the importance of further investigation into methods to improve the performance of GPTs.
