Dependency-Type Weighted Graph Convolutional Network on End-to-End Aspect-Based Sentiment Analysis

Previous studies consider little on using dependency-type messages in the E2E-ABSA task. Studies using dependency-type messages just contact the dependency-type message and word embedding vectors, which may not fully fuse the context feature and information from the dependency type. This paper proposes a new model called Dependency-Type Weighted Graph Convolution Network (DTW-GCN) to compose dependency-type messages and word embedding. We use a type-weighted matrix to combine the dependency-type message, and DTW-GCN could fuse the dependency-type message and word embedding vectors. Experiments conducted on three benchmark datasets verify the effectiveness of our model.
