It describes opinion mining as the process of analyzing text written in a natural language to classify it as positive, negative, or neutral based on the expressed sentiments. It outlines different levels of opinion mining including document, sentence, and aspect levels. It provides details on the typical architecture of an opinion mining system, including modules for preprocessing, part-of-speech tagging, aspect extraction, opinion identification, and orientation.
This document discusses opinion mining and sentiment analysis. It begins with introductions to sentiment, opinion mining, and the motivation for opinion mining including analyzing large amounts of opinionated online text. It then discusses challenges in opinion mining including distinguishing subjects and targets. It describes classifying sentiment at the word, sentence and document levels. Applications mentioned include information extraction, product reviews, and tracking sentiments. The document provides an overview of key concepts in opinion mining and sentiment analysis.
Sentiment analysis and opinion mining is almost same thing however there is minor difference between them that is opinion mining extracts and analyze people's opinion about an entity while Sentiment analysis search for the sentiment words/expression in a text and then analyze it.
It uses machine learning techniques like SVM (Support Vector Machines) to analyze the text and classify them as positive, negative or neutral.
This document summarizes a study that compares systematic and automated methods for sentiment analysis. The study extracted product features from online reviews of Samsung tablet PCs and used Naive Bayes classification to determine the positive, negative, and neutral sentiment distributions for each feature. Features like battery life had the highest positive sentiment, while cost had low positive sentiment. Weight had equal positive and negative sentiment. The study concludes the systematic approach provides more useful insight for product improvement than automated tools, which fail to identify specific sentiment-causing features.

Paolo Rosso "On irony detection in social media"AINL Conferences
Каковы лингвистические паттерны, которым следуют пользователи социальных сетей, чтобы высказывать иронию в совсем коротких фразах? Лингвистические средства - такие как неоднозначность, непоследовательность, неожиданность эмоциональный контекст, гораздо более широкий, чем просто негативная или позитивная тональность - играют очень важную роль триггеров иронии. В иронических текстах буквальный смысл сообщения как правило отрицается, но формальные маркеры отрицания отсутствуют. Это делает задачу определения иронии очень сложной. В своем выступлении я опишу как ирония выражается в социальных сетях (Twitter, Amazon, Facebook и др.) и каково современное положение дел в автоматическом определении иронии. Определение иронии очень важно для таких задач анализа текста как определение тональности сообщения, извлечение мнений, или анализ репутаций, и существует определенный интерес исследовательского сообщества к этой теме. На конференции SemEval 2015 будет организована задача-соревнование по определению тональности фигуративного языка в Твиттере (Sentiment Analysis of Figurative Language in Twitter, http://alt.qcri.org/semeval2015/task11/).

The Festival della Scienza is an annual science festival held in Genoa, Italy from October 21st to November 2nd, 2011. The 2011 festival celebrates the 150th anniversary of the unification of Italy and highlights scientific excellence in Italy over the past 150 years. The festival features lectures, exhibitions, laboratories and other events focused on science, hosted both in Genoa and other major Italian cities. Notable speakers include scientists from the United States, who are the guest country for 2011, celebrating the 150th anniversary of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The festival aims to showcase both Italy's scientific history and contemporary scientists working to advance knowledge and bring Italy into new scenarios for a better future.
Text summarization involves generating a summary of a document using computer programs. It is needed because the amount of textual information is growing rapidly, making it difficult for users to read everything. There are two main types of summarization: extraction, which selects important sentences from the original text, and abstraction, which generates a summary using semantic analysis. The document describes and compares two summarization algorithms - reduction and intersection - and provides screenshots of a program implementing the algorithms. It concludes that reduction creates better summaries but is slower, while intersection works well on some documents but often generates very short summaries.
This document provides an overview of opinion mining and sentiment analysis. It defines opinion mining as attempting to automatically determine human opinion from natural language text. It discusses some key applications, such as classifying reviews and understanding public opinion. The document also outlines some challenges, such as understanding context and differing domains. It then describes common models for sentiment analysis, including preparing data, analyzing reviews linguistically, and classifying sentiment using techniques like machine learning classifiers.
The big data phenomenon has confirmed the achievement of data access transformation. Sentiment analysis (SA) is one of the most exploited area and used for profit-making purpose through business intelligence applications. This paper reviews the trends in SA and relates the growth in the area with the big data era.
Sentiment analysis software uses natural language processing and artificial intelligence to analyze text such as reviews and identify whether the opinions and sentiments expressed are positive or negative. It can help businesses understand customer perceptions of products and brands. While sentiment analysis works reasonably well for classifying simple positive and negative sentiments, it faces challenges in dealing with ambiguity and nuance in human language. The accuracy of sentiment analysis depends on factors such as the complexity of the language analyzed and how finely sentiments are classified.
English parts of speech is a challenge to many Indonesian teachers. The content of these slides are purely taken from a book (unfortunately I have completely forgotten the title ad author). By grouping the parts of speech and providing some examples, the book tries to 'elucidate' the seemingly perplexing topic.
IRJET- Slant Analysis of Customer Reviews in View of Concealed Markov DisplayIRJET Journal
This document summarizes a research paper that proposes a method for sentiment analysis of customer reviews using a Hidden Markov Model. It first discusses how online retailers receive large numbers of customer reviews for products and how it is difficult to analyze the overall sentiment from all reviews. The proposed method involves using a Hidden Markov Model to analyze each review sentence and determine if it expresses a positive or negative sentiment. The model is trained on a dataset of customer reviews that have been part-of-speech labeled. Experimental results found that the trained Hidden Markov Model achieved high precision and accuracy in classifying the sentiment of reviews.

Web User Opinion Analysis for Product Features Extraction and Opinion Summari...dannyijwest
Selling the product through Web has become more popular because of online shopping. This enables
merchants to sell their products through Web and expects the customer to express their opinion through
online about the product which they have purchased. Due to this we find number of customer reviews on a
particular product, it varies from hundreds to thousands, for some product it is more than that. In order to
help the customer and the manufacture/merchant we propose a semantic based approach to mine different
product features and to find the opinion summarization about each of these extracted product features by
means of web user opinion expressed through the customer reviews using typed dependency relations.
Co-Extracting Opinions from Online ReviewsEditor IJCATR
Exclusion of opinion targets and words from online reviews is an important and challenging task in opinion mining. The
opinion mining is the use of natural language processing, text analysis and computational process to identify and recover the subjective
information in source materials. This paper propose a Supervised word alignment model, which identifying the opinion relation. Rather
than this paper focused on topical relation, in which to extract the relevant information or features only from a particular online reviews.
It is based on feature extraction algorithm to identify the potential features. Finally the items are ranked based on the frequency of
positive and negative reviews. Compared to previous methods, our model captures opinion relation and feature extraction more precisely.
One of the most advantages that our model obtain better precision because of supervised alignment model. In addition, an opinion
relation graph is used to refer the relationship between opinion targets and opinion words.
The document describes a project to develop a software tool that can generate ratings for individual product features from reviews. It aims to extract key features, determine sentiment ratings for each feature based on reviews, and summarize the ratings. The system collects reviews, segments text, identifies frequent features, determines sentiment orientation of words and sentences, and summarizes opinions for each feature. It was evaluated on accuracy using a benchmark dataset, with results showing reasonable precision and recall levels. Walkthrough examples demonstrate how to use the tool to extract and visualize features ratings from reviews.

Empirical Model of Supervised Learning Approach for Opinion MiningIRJET Journal
This summarizes an empirical model for opinion mining using supervised learning with an integrated alignment model and naive Bayesian classification model. The proposed model aims to automatically identify user reviews of products as positive or negative and provide an aggregated product rating based on review sentiment analysis and rankings. An alignment model is used to match keywords between source and target reviews to determine sentiment polarity. If a match is not found, the review is sent to a naive Bayesian classification model for sentiment analysis and rating. A rank aggregation model then considers data parameters like user ID, time, and rank to generate a ranked list of products based on ratings and sentiment analysis while excluding short-duration sessions or redundant comments. The proposed hybrid model aims to provide more accurate results for product sentiment analysis
A Review on Sentimental Analysis of Application ReviewsIJMER
As with rapid evolution of computer technology and smart phones mobile applications
become very important part of our life. It is very difficult for customers to keep track of different
applications reviews so sentimental analysis is used. Sentimental analysis is effective and efficient
evolution of customer’s opinion in real time. Sentimental analysis for applications review is performed
two approaches statistical model based approaches and Natural Language Processing (NLP) based
approaches to create rules. Two schemes used for analyzing the textual comments- aspect level
sentimental analysis analyses the text and provide a label on each aspect then scores on multiple
aspects are aggregated and result for reviews shown in graphs. Second scheme is document level
analyses which comprising of adjectives, adverbs and verbs and n-gram feature extraction. I have also
used our SentiWordNet scheme to compute the document-level sentiment for each movie reviewed
and compared the results with results obtained using Alchemy API. The sentiment profile of a movie is
also compared with the document-level sentiment result. The results obtained show that my scheme
produces a more accurate and focused sentiment profile than the simple document-level sentiment
analysis.
This document discusses various techniques for sentiment analysis of application reviews, including both statistical and natural language processing approaches. It describes how sentiment analysis can be used to analyze textual reviews and classify them as positive or negative. Several key techniques are discussed, such as using machine learning classifiers like Naive Bayes, extracting n-grams and sentiment-oriented words, and developing rule-based models using techniques like identifying parts of speech. The document also discusses using these techniques to perform sentiment analysis at both the document and aspect levels.

IRJET- Implementation of Review Selection using Deep LearningIRJET Journal
This document presents a methodology for selecting reviews using deep learning. It involves collecting product reviews from websites, analyzing the reviews using part-of-speech tagging and developing a semantic classifier using Jaccard distance to match reviews to entity sets. A deep learning technique called Temporal Difference learning is then used to categorize reviews into 5 categories: Excellent, Good, Neutral, Bad, and Very Bad. This provides customers a more clear understanding of products compared to just star ratings. The methodology is aimed at helping customers make better informed purchase decisions based on categorized review sentiment.
E-Commerce Product Rating Based on Customer ReviewIRJET Journal
This document describes a system that analyzes customer reviews of e-commerce products to rate the products. It uses text mining and natural language processing techniques like tokenization, lemmatization, and sentiment analysis to extract keywords and determine if reviews have a positive, negative, or neutral sentiment. The system aims to help e-commerce companies improve their products and services based on customer feedback. It collects reviews, cleans the text data, identifies aspects and sentiments, and ranks products based on aspects and review ratings.
Sentiment Analysis Using Hybrid Approach: A SurveyIJERA Editor
Sentiment analysis is the process of identifying people’s attitude and emotional state’s from language. The main objective is realized by identifying a set of potential features in the review and extracting opinion expressions about those features by exploiting their associations. Opinion mining, also known as Sentiment analysis, plays an important role in this process. It is the study of emotions i.e. Sentiments, Expressions that are stated in natural language. Natural language techniques are applied to extract emotions from unstructured data. There are several techniques which can be used to analysis such type of data. Here, we are categorizing these techniques broadly as ”supervised learning”, ”unsupervised learning” and ”hybrid techniques”. The objective of this paper is to provide the overview of Sentiment Analysis, their challenges and a comparative analysis of it’s techniques in the field of Natural Language Processing.
Product Feature Ranking Based On Product Reviews by UsersIJTET Journal
Abstract— Sentiment analysis or opinion mining is the process of determining the user view's or opinions explained in the form of polarity (i.e. positive, negative or neutral) for a piece of text. This work introduces a method to extract features from the product reviews, classify into positive, negative or neutral and rank aspects based on consumer's opinion. By aspect ranking, consumer's can conveniently make a wise purchasing decisions by paying more attentions to the important aspects, while firms can focus on improving the quality of aspects and thus enhance product reputation effectively.
IRJET- Fake Review Detection using Opinion MiningIRJET Journal
This document summarizes a research paper that aims to develop a method for detecting fake reviews on e-commerce websites. The proposed method uses sentiment analysis and opinion mining techniques to classify reviews as "suspicious", "clear", or "hazy". It first runs reviews through the VADER sentiment analysis tool to assign polarity scores, then calculates vector values based on review length, trigram frequency, and sentiment intensity. Reviews are initially classified using a logic table, with "hazy" reviews undergoing further processing. The results include annotated reviews showing sentiment scores and credibility scores to help users identify trustworthy reviews. Future work could improve the dictionary and sentiment weights to increase accuracy of the classification model.
With the rapid growth in ecommerce, reviews for popular products on the web have grown rapidly.
Although these reviews are important for making decisions, it is difficult to read all the reviews.
Automating the opinion mining process was identified as a solution for the problem. Although there are
algorithms for opinion mining, an algorithm with better accuracy is needed. A feature and smiley based
algorithm was developed which extracts product features from reviews based on feature frequency and
generates an opinion summary based on product features.
The algorithm was tested on downloaded customer reviews. The sentences were tagged, opinion words
were extracted and opinion orientations were identified using semantic orientation of opinion words and
smileys. Since the precision values for feature extraction and both precision and recall values for opinion
orientation identification were improved by the new algorithm, it is more successful in opinion mining of
customer reviews.
TOWARDS MAKING SENSE OF ONLINE REVIEWS BASED ON STATEMENT EXTRACTIONcscpconf
Product reviews are valuable resource for information seeking and decision making purposes. Products such as smart phone are discussed based on their aspects e.g. battery life, screen quality, etc. Knowing user statements about aspects is relevant as it will guide other users in their buying process. In this paper, we automatically extract user statements about aspects for a given product. Our extraction method is based on dependency parse information of individual reviews. The parse information is used to learn patterns and use them to determine the user statements for a given aspect. Our results show that our methods are able to extract potentially
useful statements for given aspects.
Fake Product Review Monitoring & Removal and Sentiment Analysis of Genuine Re...Dr. Amarjeet Singh
Any E-Commerce website gets bad reputation if they
sell a product which has bad review, the user blames the eCommerce website rather than manufacturers most of the
times. In some review sites some great audits are included by
the item organization individuals itself so as to make so as to
deliver false positive item reviews. To eliminate these type of
fake product review, we will create a system that finds out the
fake reviews and eliminates all the fake reviews by using
machine learning. We also remove the reviews that are flood
by a marketing agency in order to boost up the ratings of a
particular product .Finally Sentiment analysis is done for the
genuine reviews to classify them into positive and negative.
We will use Bag-of-words to label individual words
according to their sentiment.
Wrapper induction construct wrappers automatically to extract information f...George Ang
Wrapper induction is a technique to automatically generate wrappers to extract information from web sources. It involves learning extraction rules from labeled examples to construct a wrapper as a finite state machine or set of delimiters. Two main wrapper induction systems are WIEN, which defines wrapper classes including LR, and STALKER, which uses a more expressive model with extraction rules and landmarks to handle structure hierarchically. Remaining challenges include selecting informative examples, generating label pages automatically, and developing more expressive models.
The document provides an overview of Huffman coding, a lossless data compression algorithm. It begins with a simple example to illustrate the basic idea of assigning shorter codes to more frequent symbols. It then defines key terms like entropy and describes the Huffman coding algorithm, which constructs an optimal prefix code from the frequency of symbols in the data. The document discusses how the algorithm works, its advantages in achieving compression close to the source entropy, and some limitations. It also covers applications of Huffman coding like image compression.
Do not crawl in the dust different ur ls similar textGeorge Ang
The document describes the DustBuster algorithm for discovering DUST rules - rules that transform one URL into another URL that contains similar content. The algorithm takes as input a list of URLs from a website and finds valid DUST rules without requiring any page fetches. It detects likely DUST rules based on a large support principle and small buckets principle. It then eliminates redundant rules and validates the remaining rules using a sample of URLs to identify rules that transform URLs with similar content. Experimental results on logs from two websites show that DustBuster is able to discover DUST rules that can help improve crawling efficiency.
The document discusses techniques for optimizing front-end web performance. It provides examples of how much time is spent loading different parts of top websites, both with empty caches and full caches. The "performance golden rule" is that 80-90% of end-user response time is spent on the front-end. The document also outlines Yahoo's 14 rules for performance optimization, which include making fewer HTTP requests, using content delivery networks, adding Expires headers, gzipping components, script and CSS placement, and more.

2. Word of mouth on the Web
The Web has dramatically changed the way that
consumers express their opinions.
One can post reviews of products at merchant sites,
Web forums, discussion groups, blogs
Techniques are being developed to exploit these
sources to help companies and individuals to gain
market intelligence info.
Benefits:
Potential Customer: No need to read many reviews
Product manufacturer: market intelligence, product
benchmarking
3. Introduction
Sentiment classification
Whole reviews
Sentences
Consumer review analysis
Going inside each sentence to find what exactly consumers
praise or complain.
Extraction of product features commented by consumers.
Determine whether the comments are positive or negative
(semantic orientation)
Produce a feature based summary (not text summarization).
4. Sentiment Classification of Reviews
Classify reviews (or other documents) based on
the overall sentiment expressed by the authors,
i.e.,
Positive or negative
Recommended or not recommended
This problem has been mainly studied in natural
language processing (NLP) community.
The problem is related but different from
traditional text classification, which classifies
documents into different topic categories.
5. Unsupervised review classification
(Turney ACL-02)
Data: reviews from epinions.com on
automobiles, banks, movies, and travel
destinations.
The approach: Three steps
Step 1:
Part-of-speech tagging
Extracting two consecutive words (two-word
phrases) from reviews if their tags conform to
some given patterns, e.g., (1) JJ, (2) NN.
6. Step 2: Estimate the semantic orientation of the
extracted phrases
Use Pointwise mutual information
Semantic orientation (SO):
SO(phrase) = PMI(phrase, .excellent.) - PMI(phrase, .poor.)
Using AltaVista NEAR operator to do search to
find the number of hits to compute PMI and SO.
7. Step 3: Compute the average SO of all phrases
classify the review as recommended if average SO is
positive, not recommended otherwise.
Final classification accuracy:
automobiles - 84%
banks - 80%
movies - 65.83%
travel destinations - 70.53%
8. Sentiment classification using
machine learning methods
Apply several machine learning techniques to
classify movie reviews into positive and
negative.
Three classification techniques were tried:
Naïve Bayes
Maximum entropy
Support vector machine
Pre-processing settings: negation tag, unigram
(single words), bigram, POS tag, position.
SVM: the best accuracy 83% (unigram)
11. Feature Selection
Sentences are split into single-word tokens
Metadata and statistical substitutions
“I called Nikon” and “I called Kodak” substituted by “I called X”
Substitute numerical tokens by NUMBER
Linguistic substitutions
WordNet to find similarities
Colocation – Word(part-of-speech): Relation: Word(part-of-speech). E.g
“This stupid ugly piece of garbage” → (stupid(A):subj:piece(N))
Language-based modification
Stemming
Negating phrases, e.g. “not good”, “not useful”
N-gram and proximity
N adjacent tokens
12.
13.
14.
15. Evaluation
The technique does well for review classification
with accuracy of 84-88%
It does not do so well for classifying review
sentences, max accuracy = 68% even after
removing hard and ambiguous cases.
Sentence classification is much harder.
16. Other related works
Estimate semantic orientation of words and phrases
(Hatzivassiloglou and Wiebe COLING-00, Hatzivassiloglou and
McKeown ACL-97; Wiebe, Bruce and O.Hara, ACL-99)
Generating semantic timelines by tracking online discussion of
movies and display a plot of the number positive and negative
messages (Tong, 2001).
Determine subjectivity and extract subjective sentences, e.g.,
(Wilson, Wiebe and Hwa, AAAI-04; Riloff and Wiebe, EMNLP-03)
Mining product reputation (Morinaga et al, KDD-02).
Classify people into opposite camps in newsgroups (Agrawal et al
WWW-03)

17. Consumer Review Analysis
Going inside each sentence to find what exactly
consumers praise or complain.
Extraction of product features commented by
consumers.
Determine whether the comments are positive or
negative (semantic orientation)
Produce a feature based summary (not text
summarization)
18. Mining and summarizing reviews
Sentiment classification is useful. But
can we go inside each sentence to find what exactly
consumers praise or complain about?
That is,
Extract product features commented by consumers.
Determine whether the comments are positive or
negative (semantic orientation)
Produce a feature based summary (not text
summary).
19. In online shopping, more and more people are
writing reviews online to express their opinions
A lot of reviews …
Time consuming and tedious to read all the
reviews
Benefits:
Potential Customer: No need to read many reviews
Product manufacturer: market intelligence, product
benchmarking
20. Different Types of Consumer Reviews
(Hu and Liu, KDD-04; Liu et al WWW-05)
Format (1) - Pros and Cons:
The reviewer is asked to describe Pros and Cons separately.
C|net.com uses this format.
Format (2) - Pros, Cons and detailed review:
The reviewer is asked to describe Pros and Cons separately and
also write a detailed review.
Epinions.com uses this format.
Format (3) - free format:
The reviewer can write freely, i.e., no separation of Pros and
Cons.
Amazon.com uses this format.
21. Feature Based Summarization
Extracting product features (called Opinion
Features) that have been commented on by
customers
Identifying opinion sentences in each review and
deciding whether each opinion sentence is
positive or negative
Summarizing and comparing results.
Note: a wrapper can be used to extract reviews from Web pages as
reviews are all regularly structured.
22. The Problem Model
Product feature:
product component, function feature, or specification
Model: Each product has a finite set of features,
F = {f1, f2, … , fn}.
Each feature fi in F can be expressed with a finite set of words or
phrases Wi.
Each reviewer j comments on a subset Sj of F, i.e., Sj ⊆ F.
For each feature fk ∈ F that reviewer j comments, he/she
chooses a word/phrase w ∈ Wk to represent the feature.
The system does not have any information about F or Wi
beforehand.
This simple model covers most but not all cases.
28. Observations
Each sentence segment contains at most one product feature.
Sentence segments are separated by ‘,’, ‘.’, ‘and’, and ‘but’.
5 segments in Pros
great photos <photo>
easy to use <use>
good manual <manual>
many options <option>
takes videos <video>
3 segments in Cons
battery usage <battery>
included software could be improved <software>
included 16MB is stingy <16MB> ⇒ <memory>
29. Analyzing Reviews of formats 1 and 3
Reviews are usually full sentences
“The pictures are very clear.”
Explicit feature: picture
“It is small enough to fit easily in a coat pocket or purse.”
Implicit feature: size
Synonyms – Different reviewers may use different words to mean the same
produce feature.
For example, one reviewer may use “photo”, but another may use “picture”.
Synonym of features should be grouped together.
Granularity of features:
“battery usage”, “battery size”, “battery weight” can be individual features but it
will generate too many features and insufficient comments for each features
They are group together into one feature “battery”
Frequent and infrequent features
Frequent features (commented by many users)
Infrequent features
30. Step 1: Mining product features
1. Part-of-Speech tagging - in this work, features
are nouns and nouns phrases (which is
insufficient!).
2. Frequent feature generation (unsupervised)
Association mining to generate candidate features
Feature pruning.
3. Infrequent feature generation
Opinion word extraction.
Find infrequent feature using opinion words.
31. Part-of-Speech tagging
Segment the review text into sentences.
Generate POS tags for each word.
Syntactic chunking recognizes boundaries of noun groups and verb groups.
<S>
<NG>
<W C=’PRP’ L=’SS’ T=’w’ S=’Y’> I </W>
</NG>
<VG>
<W C=’VBP’> am </W>
<W C=’RB’> absolutely </W>
</VG>
<W C=’IN’> in </W>
<NG>
<W C=’NN’> awe </W>
</NG>
<W C=’IN’> of </W>
<NG>
<W C=’DT’> this </W>
<W C=’NN’> camera</W>
</NG>
<W C=’.’> . </W>
</S>
32. Frequent feature identification
Frequent features: those features that are talked about by many customers.
Use association (frequent itemset) Mining
Why use association mining?
Different reviewers tell different stories (irrelevant)
When people discuss the product features, they use similar words.
Association mining finds frequent phrases.
Let I = {i1, …, in} be a set of items, and D be a set of transactions. Each
transaction consists of a subset of items in I. An association rule is an implication
of the form X → Y, where X ⊂ I, Y ⊂ I, and X ∩ Y = ∅. The rule X→ Y holds in D
with confidence c if c% of transactions in D that support X also support Y. The
rule has support s in D if s% of transactions in D contain X ∪ Y.
Note: only nouns/noun groups are used to generate frequent itemsets (features)
Some example rules:
<N1>, <N2> → [feature]
<V>, easy, to → [feature]
<N1> → [feature], <N2>
<N1>, [feature] → <N2>
33. Generating Extraction Patterns
Rule generation
<NN>, <JJ> → [feature]
<VB>, easy, to → [feature]
Considering word sequence
<JJ>, <NN> → [feature]
<NN>, <JJ> → [feature] (pruned, low support/confidence)
easy, to, <VB> → [Feature]
Generating language patterns, e.g., from
<JJ>, <NN> → [feature]
easy, to, <VB> → [feature]
to
<JJ> <NN> [feature]
easy to <VB> [feature]
34. Feature extraction using language patterns
Length relaxation: A language pattern does not need to
match a sentence segment with the same length as the
pattern.
For example, pattern “<NN1> [feature] <NN2>” can match the
segment “size of printout”.
Ranking of patterns: If a sentence segment satisfies
multiple patterns, use the pattern with the highest
confidence.
No pattern applies: use nouns or noun phrases.
35. Feature Refinement
Correct some mistakes made during extraction.
Two main cases:
Feature conflict: two or more candidate features in one sentence
segment.
Missed feature: there is a more likely feature in the sentence segment
but not extracted by any pattern.
E.g., “slight hum from subwoofer when not in use.” (“hum” was found to be
the feature)
What is the ture feature? “hum” or “subwoofer”? how does the system know
this?
Use candidate feature “subwoofer” (as it appears elsewhere):
“subwoofer annoys people”
“subwoofer is bulky”
“hum” is not used in other reviews
An iterative algorithm can be used to deal with the problem by
remembering occurrence counts.
36. Feature pruning
Not all candidate frequent features generated by association mining
are genuine features.
Compactness pruning: remove those non-compact feature phrases:
compact in a sentence
“I had searched a digital camera for months.” -- compact
“This is the best digital camera on the market.” -- compact
“This camera does not have a digital zoom.” -- not compact
A feature phrase, if compact in at least two sentences, then it is a
compact feature phrase
Digital camera is a compact feature phrase
p-support (pure support).
manual (sup = 12), manual mode (sup = 5)
p-support of manual = 7
life (sup = 5), battery life (sup = 4)
p-support of life = 1
set a minimum p-support value to do pruning.
life will be pruned while manual will not, if minimum p-support is 4.
37. Infrequent features generation
How to find the infrequent features?
Observation: one opinion word can be used to
describe different objects.
“The pictures are absolutely amazing.”
“The software that comes with it is amazing.”
38. Step 2: Identify Orientation of an
Opinion Sentence
Use dominant orientation of opinion words (e.g.,
adjectives) as sentence orientation.
The semantic orientation of an adjective:
positive orientation: desirable states (e.g., beautiful, awesome)
negative orientation: undesirable states (e.g., disappointing).
no orientation. e.g., external, digital.
Using a seed set to grow a set of positive and negative
words using WordNet,
synonyms,
antonyms.
39. Feature extraction evaluation
n is the total number of reviews of a particular product,
ECi is the number of extracted features from review i that are correct,
Ci is the number of actual features in review i,
Ei is the number of extracted features from review i
Opinion sentence extraction (Avg): Recall: 69.3% Precision: 64.2%
Opinion orientation accuracy: 84.2%
40. Summary
Automatic opinion analysis has many applications.
Some techniques have been proposed.
However, the current work is still preliminary.
Other supervised or unsupervised learning should be tried. Additional
NLP is likely to help.
Much future work is needed: Accuracy is not yet good enough for
industrial use, especially for reviews in full sentences.
Analyzing blogspace is also an promising direction (Gruhl et al,
WWW-04).
Trust and distrust on the Web is an important issue too (Guha et al,
WWW-04)
41. Partition authors into opposite camps within a given topic in
the context of newsgroups based on their social behavior
(Agrawal, WWW2003)
A typical newsgroup posting consists of one or more
quoted lines from another posting followed by the
opinion of the author
This social behavior gives rise to a network in which the
vertices are individuals and the links represent
"responded-to" relationships
An interesting characteristic of many newsgroups is that
people more frequently respond to a message when they
disagree than when they agree
This behavior is opposite to the WWW link graph, where linkage
is an indicator of agreement or common interest
42. Interactions between individuals have two components:
The content of the interaction – text.
The choice of person who an individual chooses to interact with
– link.
The structure of newsgroup postings
Newsgroup postings tend to be largely "discussion" oriented
A newsgroup discussion on a topic typically consists of some
seed postings, and a large number of additional postings that are
responses to a seed posting or responses to responses
Responses typically quote explicit passages from earlier
postings.
43. "social network" between individuals participating in the
newsgroup can be generated
Definition 1 (Quotation Link)
There is a quotation link between person i and person j if i has
quoted from an earlier posting written by j.
Characteristics of quotation link
they are created without mutual concurrence: the person quoting
the text does not need the permission of the author to quote
in many newsgroups, quotation links are usually "antagonistic":
it is more likely that the quotation is made by a person challenging
or rebutting it rather than by someone supporting it.
44.
45. Consider a graph G(V,E) where the vertex set V has a vertex per participant within
the newsgroup discussion.
Therefore, the total number of vertices in the graph is equal to the number of distinct
participants.
An edge e ∈ E , e = (v1, v2), vi ∈ V indicates that person v1 has responded to a
posting by person v2.
Unconstrained Graph Partition – Optimum Partitioning
Consider any bipartition of the vertices into two sets F and A, representing those for and
those against an issue.
We assume F and A to be disjoint and complementary, i.e., F U A = V and F ∩ A = ∅ .
Such a pair of sets can be associated with the cut function, f(F,A) = |E ∩ (F × A)| , the
number of edges crossing from F to A.
If most edges in a newsgroup graph G represent disagreements, then the
following holds:
Proposition 1 The optimum choice of F and A maximizes f(F,A).
This problem is known as maximum cut.
46. Consider the co-citation matrix of the graph G. This graph, D = GGT
is a graph on the same set of vertices as G.
There is a weighted edge e = (u1, u2) in D of weight w if and only if
there are exactly w vertices v1, …, vw such that each edge (u1,vi)
and (u2,vi) is in G. In other words, w measures the number of people
that u1 and u2 have both responded to.
Observation 1 (EV Algorithm) The second eigenvector of D = GGT
is a good approximation of the desired bipartition of G.
Observation 2 (EV+KL Algorithm) Kernighan-Lin heuristic on top
of spectral partitioning can improve the quality of partitioning .
47. Experiment

Abortion: The dataset consists of the 13,642 postings in talk.abortion
that contain the words "Roe" and "Wade".
Gun Control: The dataset consists of the 12,029 postings in
talk.politics.guns that include the words "gun", "control", and "opinion".
