you can directly use the processed dataset located in datasets/:
Note that you need to extract the data from the datasets folder: unzip datasets.zip

The dataSet contains with cl_2X3 is the dataSet obtained after label argment, and each data is as follows:
Context
Aspect
Aspect-sentiment-label(-1:negative;0:netrual;1:positive)
Contrastive-label(aspect-dependent/aspect-invariant)
Contrastive-aspect-label(0:negative;1:netrual;2:positive)
a) Download the pytorch version pre-trained bert-base-uncased model and vocabulary from the link provided by huggingface. Then change the value of parameter --bert_model_dir to the directory of the bert model. you can get the pre-trained bert-base-uncased model in https://github.com/huggingface/transformers.
b) Label enhancement method. For new data, additional supervised signals need to be obtained through label enhancement;
i) Through BERT overfitting the training set, the acc can reach more than 97%;
ii) Replace aspect with other or mask, and get the emotional label of the aspect after replacing the aspect;
iii) Determine whether the output label is consistent with the real label, and fill in the aspect-dependent/aspect-invariant label for the data.
c) The data defaults are in data_utils.py, which you can view if you want to change the data entered into the model.
- Adjust the parameters and set the experiment.

abstract = {Most existing aspect-based sentiment analysis (ABSA) research efforts are devoted to extracting the aspect-dependent sentiment features from the sentence towards the given aspect. However, it is observed that about 60% of the testing aspects in commonly used public datasets are unknown to the training set. That is, some sentiment features carry the same polarity regardless of the aspects they are associated with (aspect-invariant sentiment), which props up the high accuracy of existing ABSA models when inevitably inferring sentiment polarities for those unknown testing aspects. Therefore, in this paper, we revisit ABSA from a novel perspective by deploying a novel supervised contrastive learning framework to leverage the correlation and difference among different sentiment polarities and between different sentiment patterns (aspect-invariant/-dependent). This allows improving the sentiment prediction for (unknown) testing aspects in the light of distinguishing the roles of valuable sentiment features. Experimental results on 5 benchmark datasets show that our proposed approach substantially outperforms state-of-the-art baselines in ABSA. We further extend existing neural network-based ABSA models with our proposed framework and achieve improved performance.},
