Multi-domain Aspect Extraction Based on Deep and Lifelong Learning

Abstract

Opinions concerning features or aspects of people, entities, products or services are some of the most important textual information. Several methods try to solve the aspect extraction task needed in sentiment analysis by using Deep Learning techniques in specific domains. However, catastrophic forgetting appears when these methods are used to learn aspects of multi-domains. In this paper, we propose a new approach to achieve aspect extraction in multi-domains based on Deep and Lifelong Learning techniques. Our proposal reduces catastrophic forgetting and improves one of the principal state-of-the-art results.
