Sentiment Analysis Technique and Neutrosophic Set Theory for Mining and Ranking Big Data From Online Reviews

Abstract

Recently, a huge amount of online consumer reviews (OCRs) is being generated through social media, web contents, and microblogs. This scale of big data cannot be handled by traditional methods. Sentiment analysis (SA) or opinion mining is emerging as a powerful and efficient tool in big data analytics and improving decision making. This research paper introduces a novel method that integrates neutrosophic set (NS) theory into the SA technique and multi-attribute decision making (MADM) to rank the different products based on numerous online reviews. The method consists of two parts: Determining sentiment scores of the online reviews based on the SA technique and ranking alternative products via NS theory. In the first part, the online reviews of the alternative products concerning multiple features are crawled and pre-processed. A neutral lexicon consists of 228 neutral words and phrases is compiled and the Valence Aware Dictionary and sEntiment Reasoner (VADER) for sentiment reasoning is adapted to handle the neutral data. The compiled neutral lexicon, as well as the adapted VADER, are utilized to build a novel adaptation called Neutro-VADER. The Neutro-VADER assigns positive, neutral, and negative sentiment scores to each review concerning the product feature. In this stage, the novel idea is to point out the positive, neutral, and negative sentiment scores as the truth, indeterminacy, and falsity memberships degrees of the neutrosophic number. The overall performance of each alternative concerning each feature based on a neutrosophic number is measured. In the second part, the ranking of alternatives is being evaluated through the simplified neutrosophic number weighted averaging (SNNWA) operator and cosine similarity measure methods. A case study with real datasets (Twitter datasets) is provided to illustrate the application of the proposed method. The results show good performance in handling the neutral data on the SA stage as well as the ranking stage. In the SA stage, findings show that the Neutro-VADER in the proposed method can deal successfully with all types of uncertainties including indeterminacy comparable with the traditional VADER in the other methods. In the ranking stage, the results show a great similarity and consistency while using other ranking methods such as PROMETHEE II, TOPSIS, and TODIM methods.

Heterogeneous Cluster Application Communication Optimization and Computer Big Data Management

“…The 3D FFT performance of the GPU group used by Parray was tested on Tianhe 1A and compared with Intel MKL 10.3.1.048 [21]. Figure 4 is the 3D FFT comparison of different scales of the same hard disk (figure PKUFFT is the 3D FFT model of the GPU group used by Tianhe-1 A Parray).…”

Application of Industrial Big Data Cloud Control Platform Based on Fusion Transmission Sensor

“…The questionnaire is designed according to the constructed firstand second-level index system, and four options of "very satisfied (A), satisfied (B), relatively satisfied (C), and dissatisfied (D)" are set for each indicator to facilitate users' selection. The "A" level corresponds to 100 points, the "B" level corresponds to 85 points, the "C" level corresponds to 75 points, and the "D" level corresponds to 60 points [24,25].…”

Data Management Platform of Forest Ecological Station Based on Internet of Things and Big Data Sensor

“…Platform. Starting from the characteristics of forest ecological data, a forest ecological big data platform based on Hadoop is proposed, which can be used for data management of ecological stations distributed all over the country [11]. The platform deeply integrates big data, Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, and other technologies to provide users with rapid retrieval, processing, and visual analysis of forest ecological data [12].…”
