Recently, graph convolution network (GCN) model combined with attention mechanism has been used for ABSA task over graph structures, achieving promising results. However, these methods of modeling over graph structure fail to consider multiple latent information in the text, i.e., syntax, semantics, context, and so on. In addition, the attention mechanism is vulnerable to noise in sentences. To tackle these problems, in this paper, we construct an efficient text graph and propose a matrix fusion-based graph convolution network (MFLGCN) for ABSA. First, the graph structure is constructed by combining statistics, semantics, and part of speech. Then, we use the sequence model combined with the multi-head self-attention mechanism to obtain the feature representation of the context. Subsequently, the text graph structure and the feature representation of context are fed into GCN to aggregate the information around aspect nodes. The attention matrix is obtained by combining sequence model, GCN and the attention mechanism. Besides, we design a filter layer to alleviate the noise problem in the sentence introduced by the attention mechanism. Finally, in order to make the context representation more effective, attention and filtering matrices are integrated into the model. Experimental results on four public datasets show that our model is more effective than the previous models, demonstrating that using our text graph and matrix fusion can significantly empower ABSA models.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1007\/s40747-022-00940-1","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,16]],"date-time":"2022-12-16T05:05:58Z","timestamp":1671167158000},"page":"4003-4014","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Modeling multiple latent information graph structures via graph convolutional network for aspect-based sentiment analysis"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"9","author":[{"given":"Jiajun","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7046-7787","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Xiaoge","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Xiaochun","family":"An","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"940_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Wang Y, Huang M, Zhu X, Zhao L (2016) Attention-based LSTM for aspect-level sentiment classification.
