Aspect-based opinion mining is the task of identifying sentiment at the aspect level in opinionated text, which consists of two subtasks: aspect category extraction and sentiment polarity classification. While aspect category extraction aims to detect and categorize opinion targets such as product features, sentiment polarity classification assigns a sentiment label, i.e. positive, negative, or neutral, to each identified aspect. Supervised learning methods have been shown to deliver better accuracy for this task but they require labeled data, which is costly to obtain, especially for resource-poor languages like Vietnamese. To address this problem, we present a supervised aspect-based opinion mining method that utilizes labeled data from a foreign language (English in this case), which is translated to Vietnamese by an automated translation tool (Google Translate). Because aspects and opinions in different languages may be expressed by different words, we propose using word embeddings, in addition to other features, to reduce the vocabulary difference between the original and translated texts, thus improving the effectiveness of aspect category extraction and sentiment polarity classification processes. We also introduce an annotated corpus of aspect categories and sentiment polarities extracted from restaurant reviews in Vietnamese, and conduct a series of experiments on the corpus. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
