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 both non-BERT-based models and 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.

Framework

For flexible training/inference and aspect term extraction, try PyABSA, which includes all the models in this repository.

Note on running with RTX30*

If you are running on RTX30 series there may be some compatibility issues between installed/required versions of torch, cuda. In that case try using requirements_rtx30.txt instead of requirements.txt.
