Aspect Sentiment Quad Prediction is a research topic of paramount significance and complexity within the Aspect-Based Sentiment Analysis task. Leveraging the generative paradigm of the T5 model, we achieve end-to-end extraction of aspect sentiment elements by paraphrasing the original text into sentences predefined by templates. Current research predominantly confines templates to single sentences or directly concatenates sentiment elements using a few symbols, limiting the model’s reasoning opportunities. In this work, we introduce a Self-Inference Template (SIT) to guide the model in thoughtful reasoning, facilitating a step-by-step inference generation process. This approach enables the model to more accurately identify aspect sentiment elements and their interdependencies. Experimental results demonstrate a significant improvement in quadruplet prediction performance under constant time costs, effectively mitigating overfitting issues caused by limited data volume to some extent.
