Abstract:
In this survey paper, the task of aspect-based sentiment analysis is defined in close detail. We explain how this fine-grained task actually comprises several subtasks and focus on the domain of customer reviews. We reveal which datasets have been made publicly available and describe the state of the art on the subtasks of aspect term extraction, aspect term classification and aspect polarity classification. We conclude this survey by listing some of the main challenges the domain is still facing, which illustrate that this task is far from being solved.
