Description

Seven years ago Amy had a chance to build some research about applying fairly simple sentiment analysis techniques to a popular TV show's data. Fast forward to the last 6 months, Amy and the team she works with, have been introduced to a new approach - Aspect Based Sentiment Analysis (ABSA). We have used an open-source framework, NLP Architect by Intel AI, to explore the sentiment of each aspect(or object) in a sentence rather than a sentiment applied to the whole sentence. In this session, the speaker wants to share what she has learnt about Aspect Based Sentiment Analysis and also share interesting results and findings when applying this to a more recent popular TV show's data - therefore showing the progression of Sentiment Analysis techniques over the last few years.
