Aspect Based Sentiment Analysis (ABSA) tasks involve the extraction of fine-grained sentiment tuples from sentences, aiming to discern the author's opinions. Conventional methodologies predominantly rely on supervised approaches; however, the efficacy of such methods diminishes in low-resource domains lacking labeled datasets since they often lack the ability to generalize across domains. To address this challenge, we propose a simple and novel unsupervised approach to extract opinion terms and the corresponding sentiment polarity for aspect terms in a sentence. Our experimental evaluations, conducted on four benchmark datasets, demonstrate compelling performance to extract the aspect oriented opinion words as well as assigning sentiment polarity. Additionally, unsupervised approaches for opinion word mining have not been explored and our work establishes a benchmark for the same.
