New approach predicts fine-grained sentiment scores using LLMs and transformers

Researchers have developed a novel approach for SemEval-2026 Task 3, focusing on dimensional aspect-based sentiment analysis. Their method moves beyond simple positive/negative classifications to predict fine-grained, real-valued scores for sentiment valence and arousal. The system utilizes a weighted ensemble of transformer encoder models for regression tasks and employs a decoder LLM for structured prediction in extraction tasks. For Russian language data, they enhanced input by generating synthetic sentiment descriptions with a large language model. AI

IMPACT This research advances sentiment analysis capabilities by enabling more nuanced and detailed understanding of text sentiment.

    The Classics at SemEval-2026 Task 3: Combining Transformer Models and LLM-Generated Annotations for Dimensional Aspect-Based Sentiment Analysis

    arXiv:2607.03414v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This paper presents an approach to the SemEval-2026 Task 3: Dimensional Aspect-Based Sentiment Analysis. We investigate methods for moving beyond traditional categorical sentiment (e.g., positive or negative) to predict fine-grained…
