SetFit Aspect Model with sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L6-v2

This is a SetFit model that can be used for Aspect Based Sentiment Analysis (ABSA). This SetFit model uses sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L6-v2 as the Sentence Transformer embedding model. A LogisticRegression instance is used for classification. In particular, this model is in charge of filtering aspect span candidates.

The model has been trained using an efficient few-shot learning technique that involves:

Fine-tuning a Sentence Transformer with contrastive learning.
Training a classification head with features from the fine-tuned Sentence Transformer.

This model was trained within the context of a larger system for ABSA, which looks like so:

Use a spaCy model to select possible aspect span candidates.
Use this SetFit model to filter these possible aspect span candidates.
Use a SetFit model to classify the filtered aspect span candidates.

Uses

Direct Use for Inference

First install the SetFit library:

pip install setfit

Then you can load this model and run inference.

from setfit import AbsaModel

# Download from the 🤗 Hub
model = AbsaModel.from_pretrained(
    "najwaa/absa-combined-p2-aspect",
    "najwaa/absa-combined-p2-polarity",
)
# Run inference
preds = model("The food was great, but the venue is just way too busy.")
