Abstract
In recent years, mining opinions from customer reviews has been widely explored. Aspect-level sentiment analysis is a fine-grained subtask, which aims to detect the sentiment polarity towards a particular target in a sentence. While most previous works focus on sentiment polarity classification, opinion words towards the target are also very important for that they provide details about target and contribute to judging polarity. To this end, we propose a hierarchical network for jointly modeling aspect-level sentiment classification and word-level opinion words extraction. Our joint model acquires superior performance in opinion words extraction and achieves comparable results in sentiment polarity classification on two datasets from SemEval 2014.
