It has been tackled numerous times in\ndifferent areas of science. In this paper, we introduce an empirical\nreplicability study of three well-known algorithms for syntactic centric\naspect-based opinion mining. We show that reproducing results continues to be a\ndifficult endeavor, mainly due to the lack of details regarding preprocessing\nand parameter setting, as well as due to the absence of available\nimplementations that clarify these details. We consider these are important\nthreats to validity of the research on the field, specifically when compared to\nother problems in NLP where public datasets and code availability are critical\nvalidity components. We conclude by encouraging code-based research, which we\nthink has a key role in helping researchers to understand the meaning of the\nstate-of-the-art better and to generate continuous advances.","url_abs":"http://arxiv.org/abs/1701.01565v1","url_pdf":"http://arxiv.org/pdf/1701.01565v1.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":"replication-issues-in-syntax-based-aspect","repo_url":"https://github.com/epochx/opminreplicability","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"aspect-extraction","task_name":"Aspect Extraction"},{"task_slug":"opinion-mining","task_name":"Opinion Mining"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
