Aspect-based sentiment triplet extraction (ASTE) aims at recognizing the joint triplets from texts, i.e., aspect terms, opinion expressions, and correlated sentiment polarities. As a newly proposed task, ASTE depicts the complete sentiment picture from different perspectives to better facilitate real-world applications. Unfortunately, several major challenges, such as the overlapping issue and long-distance dependency, have not been addressed effectively by the existing ASTE methods, which limits the performance of the task. In this article, we present an innovative encoder-decoder framework for end-to-end ASTE. Specifically, the ASTE task is first modeled as an unordered triplet set prediction problem, which is satisfied with a nonautoregressive decoding paradigm with a pointer network. Second, a novel high-order aggregation mechanism is proposed for fully integrating the underlying interactions between the overlapping structure of aspect and opinion terms. Third, a bipartite matching loss is introduced for facilitating the training of our nonautoregressive system. Experimental results on benchmark datasets show that our proposed framework significantly outperforms the state-of-the-art methods. Further analysis demonstrates the advantages of the proposed framework in handling the overlapping issue, relieving long-distance dependency and decoding efficiency.
