Abstract

Aspect-based subjectivity analysis stands as an important task in natural language processing, seeking to identify the subjectivity of various aspects or features within a text. A new method for aspect-based subjectivity analysis using BERT is introduced in this paper. BERT has demonstrated impressive performance across various NLP tasks, and its capabilities are utilized to accurately ascertain the subjectivity of specific aspects within a given text. The approach involves fine-tuning BERT on a sizable dataset annotated with aspect-level subjectivity labels, enabling the model to grasp the subtleties of aspect-based subjectivity analysis. Extensive experiments on benchmark datasets are conducted to showcase the effectiveness of this approach and compare it with existing methods. The results reveal that this proposed approach surpasses state-of-the-art techniques in aspect-based subjectivity analysis, underscoring the potential of leveraging BERT for such purposes.
