Chinese Opinion Target Extraction

Pytorch implement of "Character-based BiLSTM-CRF Incorporating POS and Dictionaries for Chinese Opinion Target Extraction", ACML2018 [paper, pdf]

Dependency

While this implement might work for many cases, it is only tested for environment below:

python == 3.6.8
torch == 1.1.0
thulac == 0.2.0
tqdm
keras == 2.3.0
numpy == 1.17.0
numba

Usage

1. Install dependency
2. Download dataset from this repo, move files into ./dataset folder, then unzip dictionary.zip.
3. Train model: python3 main.py --mode=train --dataset=baidu
4. Test model: python3 main.py --mode=test --dataset=baidu

Note: It would cost about 10~20 minutes for pre-processing.
