MIECF: Multi-faceted information extraction and cross-mixture fusion for multimodal aspect-based sentiment analysis.

Aspect-level sentiment analysis within multimodal contexts, focusing on the precise identification and interpretation of sentiment attitudes linked to the target aspect across diverse data modalities, remains a focal research area that perpetuates the advancement of discourse and innovation in artificial intelligence. However, most existing methods tend to focus on extracting visual features from only one facet, such as face expression, which ignores the value of information from other key facets, such as the textual information presented by the image modality, resulting in information loss. To overcome the aforementioned constraint, we put forth a novel approach designated as Multi-faceted Information Extraction and Cross-mixture Fusion (MIECF) for Multimodal Aspect-based Sentiment Analysis.
