Aspect Sentiment Triplet Extraction (ASTE) is a subtask of Aspect-Based Sentiment Analysis (ABSA) that considers each opinion term, their expressed sentiment, and the corresponding aspect targets. However, existing methods are limited to the in-domain setting with two domains. Hence, we propose a domain-expanded benchmark to address the in-domain, out-of-domain and cross-domain settings. We support the new benchmark by annotating more than 4000 data samples for two new domains based on hotel and cosmetics reviews. Our analysis of five existing methods shows that while there is a significant gap between in-domain and out-of-domain performance, generative methods have a strong potential for domain generalization. Our datasets, code implementation and models are available at https://github.com/DAMO-NLP-SG/domain-expanded-aste .
