Abstract

Aspect Based Sentiment Analysis (ABSA) aims to detect the different aspects addressed in a text and the sentiment associated to each of them. There exists a lot of work on this topic for the English language, but only few models are adapted for French ABSA. In this paper, we propose a new model for ABSA, named CLC, which combines CNN (Convolutional Neural Network), Bidirectional LSTM (Long Short-Term Memory) and CRF (Conditional Random Field). We demonstrate herein its great performance on the SemEval2016 French dataset. We prove that our CLC model outperforms the state-of-the-art models for French ABSA. We also prove that CLC is well adapted for other languages such as English. One main strength of CLC is its ability to detect the aspects and the associated sentiments in a joint manner, unlike the state-of-the-art models which detect them separately.
