Prompt Based Tri-Channel Graph Convolution Neural Network for Aspect Sentiment Triplet Extraction
Aspect Sentiment Triplet Extraction (ASTE) is an emerging task to extract a given sentence's triplets, which consist of aspects, opinions, and sentiments. Recent studies tend to address this task with a table-filling paradigm, wherein word relations are encoded in a two-dimensional table, and the process involves clarifying all the individual cells to extract triples. However, these studies ignore the deep interaction between neighbor cells, which we find quite helpful for accurate extraction. To this end, we propose a novel model for the ASTE task, called Prompt-based Tri-Channel Graph Convolution Neural Network (PT-GCN), which converts the relation table into a graph to explore more comprehensive relational information. Specifically, we treat the original table cells as nodes and utilize a prompt attention score computation module to determine the edges' weights. This enables us to construct a target-aware grid-like graph to enhance the overall extraction process. After that, a triple-channel convolution module is conducted to extract precise sentiment knowledge. Extensive experiments on the benchmark datasets show that our model achieves state-of-the-art performance. The code is available at https://github.com/KunPunCN/PT-GCN.
