Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

As digital sensors become cheaper and more prevalent, the growing amount of available data helps to digitalize the real world while improving the requirement for the accompanied intelligent implementations, which are able to finish expected tasks qualitatively, efficiently and robustly.  The reasons for this are multi-fold. Firstly, compared with the human-designed implementations, the intelligent ones are adaptive to the different deployed environments, which produces customized solution and leads to more qualitative performance. Secondly, different from the fixed strategies in conventional implementations, the intelligent ones are teachable; this ability of self-evolution helps to explore the more efficient solutions automatedly. Thirdly, unlike the traditional implementations that fully focus on the available data, the intelligent ones have the ability of possible future prediction, which leads to the consideration of consequential situations and provides more robust solutions.

In this Special Issue, we therefore propose a dedicated theme on “Intelligent Implementations in Digitalized Real World”, which aims to arouse the research attention on qualitative, efficient and robust intelligent solutions including, but not limited to, system design, framework implementation, data processing, task formulation, performance evaluation, theory reasoning and software design.

The end-to-end aspect-based social comment sentiment analysis (E2E-ABSA) task aims to discover human’s fine-grained sentimental polarity, which can be refined to determine the attitude in response to an object revealed in a social user’s textual description. The E2E-ABSA problem includes two sub-tasks, i.e., opinion target extraction and target sentiment identification. However, most previous methods always tend to model these two tasks independently, which inevitably hinders the overall practical performance. This paper investigates the critical collaborative signals between these two sub-tasks and thus proposes a novel cascade social comment sentiment analysis model for jointly tackling the E2E-ABSA problem, namely CasNSA. Instead of treating the opinion target extraction and target sentiment identification as discrete procedures in previous works, our new framework takes the contextualized target semantic encoding into consideration to yield better sentimental polarity judgment. Additionally, extensive empirical results show that the proposed approach effectively achieves a 68.13% F1-score on SemEval-2014, 62.34% F1-Score on SemEval-2015, 56.40% F1-Score on SemEval-2016, and 50.05% F1-score on a Twitter dataset, which is higher than the existing approaches. Ablated experiments demonstrate that the CasNSA model substantially outperforms state-of-the-art methods, even when using fixed words embedding rather than pre-trained BERT fine tuning. Moreover, in-depth performance analysis on the social comment datasets further validates that our work gains superior performance and reliability effectively and efficiently in realistic scenarios.
