In this article, we propose transforming ABSA into an abstract summary-like conditional text generation task that uses targets, aspects, and polarities to generate auxiliary statements. To demonstrate the efficacy of our task formulation and a proposed system, we fine-tune a pre-trained model for conditional text generation tasks to get new state-of-the-art results on a few restaurant domains and urban neighborhoods domain benchmark datasets.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2110.02334v2","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2110.02334v2.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"exploring-conditional-text-generation-for","repo_url":"https://github.com/Sampreeth-sarma/T5-ABSA-Summarization","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"pytorch","reach":null}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"aspect-based-sentiment-analysis-1","task_name":"Aspect-Based Sentiment Analysis"},{"task_slug":"aspect-based-sentiment-analysis","task_name":"Aspect-Based Sentiment Analysis (ABSA)"},{"task_slug":"conditional-text-generation","task_name":"Conditional Text Generation"},{"task_slug":"sentiment-analysis","task_name":"Sentiment Analysis"},{"task_slug":"text-generation","task_name":"Text Generation"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
