Proceedings of the 1st Conference of the Asia-Pacific Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics and the 10th International Joint Conference on Natural Language Processing: Student Research Workshop

Along with the rise of people generated content on social sites, sentiment analysis has gained more importance. Aspect Based Sentiment Analysis (ABSA) is a task of identifying the sentiment at aspect level. It has more importance than sentiment analysis from commercial point of view. To the best of our knowledge, there is very few work on ABSA in Urdu language. Recent work on ABSA has limitations. Only predefined aspects are identified in a specific domain. So our focus is on the creation and evaluation of dataset for ABSA in Urdu language which will support multiple aspects. This dataset will provide a baseline evaluation for ABSA systems.
