Investigating Monolingual and Multilingual BERTModels for Vietnamese Aspect Category Detection
Aspect category detection (ACD) is one of the challenging tasks in the Aspect-based sentiment Analysis problem. The purpose of this task is to identify the aspect categories mentioned in user-generated reviews from a set of pre-defined categories. In this paper, we investigate the performance of various monolingual pre-trained language models compared with multilingual models on the Vietnamese aspect category detection problem. We conduct the experiments on two benchmark datasets for the restaurant and hotel domain. The experimental results demonstrated the effectiveness of the monolingual PhoBERT model than others on two datasets. We also evaluate the performance of the multilingual model based on the combination of whole SemEval-2016 datasets in other languages with the Vietnamese dataset. To the best of our knowledge, our research study is the first attempt at performing various available pre-trained language models on aspect category detection task and utilize the datasets from other languages based on multilingual models.
