An Enhanced Aspect-Based Sentiment Analysis Model Based on RoBERTa For Text Sentiment Analysis

Using an aspect-based sentiment analysis task, sentiment polarity towards specific aspect phrases within the same sentence or document is to be identified. The process of mechanically determining the underlying attitude or opinion indicated in the text is known as sentiment analysis. One of the most important aspects of natural language processing is sentiment analysis. The RoBERTa transformer model was pretrained in a self-supervised manner using a substantial corpus of English data. This means it was pretrained solely with raw texts and an algorithmic process to generate inputs and labels from those texts. No human labelling was involved, allowing it to utilise a vast amount of publicly available data. The authors of this work provide a thorough investigation of aspect-based sentiment analysis with RoBERTa. The RoBERTa model and its salient characteristics are outlined in this work, followed by an analysis of the model's optimisation by the authors for aspect-based sentiment analysis. The authors compare the RoBERTa model with other state-of-the-art models and evaluate its performance on multiple benchmark datasets. Our experimental results show that the RoBERTa model is effective for this important natural language processing task, outperforming competing models on sentiment analysis tasks. Based on the SemEval-2014 variant benchmarking datasets, the restaurant and laptop domains have the highest accuracy, scoring 92.35 % and 82.33 %, respectively. © 2025 Slovene Society Informatika.
