Abstract: Aspect based multimodal sentiment analysis task(MABSA) aims to identify the sentiment polarity of a specific aspect word in a text based on text and image information.However,the current mainstream model does not make full use of the fine-grained semantic alignment between different modes.Instead,it uses the image features of the entire image to fuse information with each word in the text,ignoring the strong correspondence between the local image information and aspect words,which will lead to the noise information in the image being integrated into the final multimodal representation,Therefore,this paper proposes a trusted fine-grained alignment model TFGA(MABSA based on trusted fine-grained alignment).Specifically,we use FasterRCNN to capture the visual objects contained in the image,and then calculate the correlation between them and aspect words respectively.To avoid the inconsistency of the local semantic similarity between the visual object and aspect words in the global perspective of the image-text,confidence is used to weight the local semantic similarity and filter out the unreliable matching pairs,then the model can focuse on the most reliable and highest visual local information related to aspect words in the image to reduce the impact of redundant noise information in the image.Then a fine-grained feature fusion mechanism is proposed to fully fuse the focused local image information with the text information to obtain the final sentiment classification result.Experiments on Twitter datasets show that fine-grained alignment of text and vision is beneficial to aspect based sentiment analysis.
