The paper introduces DRIFT, a method that linearizes dependency parse trees and injects them into large language model prompts to improve Aspect Sentiment Quadruple Prediction (ASQP). By providing explicit relational context, DRIFT enables the model to reason over aspect‑opinion dependencies rather than relying on token proximity. Experiments on SemEval Rest15, Rest16, and ACOS show that DRIFT outperforms other generative ASQP methods, achieving 54.47% and 64.10% F1 on Rest15 and Rest16, and demonstrating consistent gains across short- and medium‑distance aspect‑opinion configurations, while also revealing that exact‑match metrics underestimate semantically correct predictions.
The paper introduces BARRAC, a method that adapts an English aspect‑based sentiment analysis framework for Arabic dialect classification tasks. It replaces English consumer‑review attribute pools with Arabic linguistic markers for sentiment, sarcasm, and dialect identification, and swaps noisy self‑training for a two‑stage training process. Evaluated on five Arabic dialect datasets, BARRAC achieves a mean macro‑F1 of 63.93%, surpassing the best few‑label state‑of‑the‑art by 3% and outperforming GPT‑4o on four of the five tasks, while error analysis highlights remaining challenges.
