RMDEASD: Integrating Rule Mining and Deep Learning for Enhanced Aspect-Based Sentiment Analysis Across Diverse Domains

The rapidly evolving landscape of Aspect-Based Sentiment Analysis (ABSA) in the realm of natural language processing necessitates innovative approaches to comprehend and interpret the intricate nature of sentiments expressed in textual data. Traditional ABSA methods have often struggled with the nuanced sentiments inherent in various textual sources, limited in their ability to adapt to domain-specific vernacular and context. This study introduces a novel approach that synergizes rule mining with advanced deep learning techniques, aiming to address these limitations and enhance the precision and contextual understanding in sentiment analysis. Our proposed model integrates rule-based systems with deep learning Transformers, a method recognized for its effectiveness in extracting structured, domain-specific insights. This integration results in a significant enhancement in the model's ability to capture nuanced sentiments, as demonstrated by an 8.5% increase in aspect-based sentiment analysis precision and an 8.3% improvement in accuracy over existing methods. The model employs a combination of techniques including Bi-LSTM, BiGRU-CRF with RNNs, and ontology mapping operations, forming a Hybrid Multi-Level Architecture that effectively captures both sequential data relationships and semantic context. Additionally, the model incorporates Cross-Domain Transfer Learning, utilizing BERT-based pre-trained models with added layers for contextual semantics, which has shown notable generalization capabilities across various domains. Furthermore, this study refines evaluation parameters, tailoring metrics such as domain-specific accuracy, recall, and precision to more accurately assess model performance in particular domains. This is especially pertinent in our analysis of Twitter datasets specific to industries like finance and healthcare. The inclusion of Temporal Dynamics and Aspect Summarization, using techniques like the VARMAx process, provides insights into the evolution of sentiments and aspects over time, an aspect crucial for longitudinal sentiment analysis. The comprehensive testing of our model on diverse spatial and temporal datasets reveals not only improved precision and accuracy in sentiment analysis but also a reduction in delay, demonstrating its efficiency and responsiveness. The study's findings indicate that our approach could significantly impact fields reliant on sentiment analysis, such as market analysis, public opinion research, and social media monitoring, providing a more nuanced and accurate understanding of consumer sentiments and trends. This paper's contribution lies in its innovative amalgamation of rule-based and deep learning techniques, tailored evaluation metrics, and its emphasis on temporal dynamics, setting a new precedent in the field of ABSA and opening avenues for further research and application in real-world scenarios.
