Abstract
We present Self-Consistent Structured Generation (SCSG) for Dimensional Aspect-Based Sentiment Analysis in SemEval-2026 Task 3 (Track A). SCSG enhances prediction reliability by executing a LoRA-adapted large language model multiple times per instance, retaining only tuples that achieve a majority consensus across runs. To mitigate the computational overhead of multiple forward passes, we leverage vLLM's PagedAttention mechanism for efficient key--value cache reuse. Evaluation across 6 languages and 8 language--domain combinations demonstrates that self-consistency with 15 executions yields statistically significant improvements over single-inference prompting, with our system (leveraging Gemma 3) ranking in the top seven across all settings, achieving second place on three out of four English subsets and first place on Tatar-Restaurant for DimASTE.
