Overview

In this work, we present UnifiedABSA, a general-purpose multi-task ABSA framework based on multi-task instruction-tuning. Specifically,

• we formulate all ABSA tasks as a conditional generation problem.
• we design unified sentiment instructions (USI) for each task to help the model distinguish between various ABSA tasks.
