Ontology‐supported polarity mining

Abstract

Polarity mining provides an in‐depth analysis of semantic orientations of text information. Motivated by its success in the area of topic mining, we propose an ontology‐supported polarity mining (OSPM) approach. The approach aims to enhance polarity mining with ontology by providing detailed topic‐specific information. OSPM was evaluated in the movie review domain using both supervised and unsupervised techniques. Results revealed that OSPM outperformed the baseline method without ontology support. The findings of this study not only advance the state of polarity mining research but also shed light on future research directions.

RubE: Rule-based methods for extracting product features from online consumer reviews

“…In addition, RubE is developed on the basis of the lexicosyntactic structure rather than pure heuristics, which overcomes the overfitting and low generality problem of RbMs. Finally, in view of significant challenges of extracting features from the movie domain (Zhou & Chaovalit, 2008), RubE addresses the challenges by demonstrating superior performance (i.e., 81% in F-measure) to alternative methods.…”

“…On a related note, most studies have focused on online reviews of search goods (e.g., electronic products), but omitted those of experience goods. For instance, none of the studies has addressed online movie reviews, which pose a number of unique challenges to feature extraction (Zhou & Chaovalit, 2008).…”

A New Linguistic Approach to Assess the Opinion of Users in Social Network Environments

“…The sun is very hot). Such sentences are analyzed in order to extract concepts, ontologies or basic positive-negative lists of words (see also Cyc.com) [17,25]. In other cases, resources manually rated such as movies, products or merchant rating available on customer opinion web sites are also often used (CNET, eBay, TripAdvisor, IMDB).…”

“…Seeds [25] have an evident polarity (well, good, bad, …) and are used to collect other connoted words. The criterion used to extend these lists can be the level of proximity with the seeds.…”

Good location, terrible food: detecting feature sentiment in user-generated reviews

“…More recently, Pang and Lee (2008) and Liu (2012) have conducted extensive surveys of the open challenges in this research area. Opinion mining techniques have been devised and evaluated on many domains, including news stories (Godbole et al 2007), films (Annett and Kondrak 2008;Zhou and Chaovalit 2008), electronic gadgets (Hu and Liu 2004b;Titov and McDonald 2008), and hotels (Pekar and Ou 2008;Ye et al 2009;O'Connor 2010).…”
