This repository contains the data and code for the paper "A Challenge Dataset and Effective Models for Aspect-Based Sentiment Analysis", EMNLP-IJCNLP 2019, [paper].

MAMS is a challenge dataset for aspect-based sentiment analysis (ABSA), in which each sentences contain at least two aspects with different sentiment polarities. MAMS dataset contains two versions: one for aspect-term sentiment analysis (ATSA) and one for aspect-category sentiment analysis (ACSA).

Put the pretrained GloVe(http://nlp.stanford.edu/data/wordvecs/glove.840B.300d.zip) file glove.840B.300d.txt in folder ./data. Modify config.py to select task, model and hyper-parameters. When mode is set to term, base_path should point to an ATSA dataset. When mode is set to category, base_path should point to an ACSA dataset.
