Abstract

To address the issues of insufficient visual information extraction and the lack of aspect sentiment semantics in existing multimodal aspect-level sentiment analysis models, a multimodal aspect-level sentiment analysis model based on Cross-Modal Interaction Transformer (CMIT) is proposed. The model uses a text semantic enhancement module to integrate image captions with the original text, compensating for missing sentiment semantics. It constructs an aspect-aware feature extraction module using dependency syntax analysis and graph convolutional networks (GCN) to capture long-distance dependencies between aspect terms and opinion words. A cross-modal feature interaction module is designed, combining a TOP-n adjective-noun pair distribution constraint strategy and a multimodal fusion Transformer to achieve deep interaction between image and text features. Experimental results on the Twitter-2015, Twitter-2017, and ZOL datasets demonstrate that the CMIT model outperforms several baseline models in both accuracy and macro-average F1 score, validating its effectiveness and generalization ability.
