Personalized Recommendation Model: An Online Comment Sentiment Based Analysis
Traditional recommendation algorithms measure users’ online ratings of goods and services but ignore the information contained in written reviews, resulting in lowered personalized recommendation accuracy. Users’ reviews express opinions and reflect implicit preferences and emotions towards the features of products or services. This paper proposes a model for the fine-grained analysis of emotions expressed in users’ online written reviews, using film reviews on the Chinese social networking site Douban.com as an example. The model extracts feature-sentiment word pairs in user reviews according to four syntactic dependencies, examines film features, and scores the sentiment values of film features according to user preferences. User group personalized recommendations are realized through user clustering and user similarity calculation. Experiments show that the extraction of user feature-sentiment word pairs based on four syntactic dependencies can better identify the implicit preferences of users, apply them to recommendations and thereby increase recommendation accuracy
Searching, navigating, and recommending movies through emotions: A scoping review
Movies offer viewers a broad range of emotional experiences, providing entertainment, and meaning. Following the PRISMA-ScR guidelines, we reviewed the literature on digital systems designed to help users search and browse movie libraries and offer recommendations based on emotional content. Our search yielded 83 eligible documents (published between 2000 and 2021). We identified 22 case studies, 34 empirical studies, 26 proof of concept, and one theoretical paper. User transactions (e.g., ratings, tags) were the preferred source of information. The documents examined approached emotions from both categorical (n=35) and dimensional (n=18) perspectives, and nine documents offer a combination of both approaches. Although there are several authors mentioned, the references used are frequently dated, and 12 documents do not mention the author or the model used. We identified 61 words related to emotion or affect. Documents presented on average 1.36 positive terms and 2.64 negative terms. Sentiment analysis () is frequently used for emotion identification, followed by subjective evaluations (n= 15), movie low-level audio and visual features (n = 11), and face recognition technologies (n = 8). We discuss limitations and offer a brief review of current emotion models and research.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
Multimodal Content Analysis for Effective Advertisements on YouTube
The rapid advances in e-commerce and Web 2.0 technologies have greatly
increased the impact of commercial advertisements on the general public. As a
key enabling technology, a multitude of recommender systems exists which
analyzes user features and browsing patterns to recommend appealing
advertisements to users. In this work, we seek to study the characteristics or
attributes that characterize an effective advertisement and recommend a useful
set of features to aid the designing and production processes of commercial
advertisements. We analyze the temporal patterns from multimedia content of
advertisement videos including auditory, visual and textual components, and
study their individual roles and synergies in the success of an advertisement.
The objective of this work is then to measure the effectiveness of an
advertisement, and to recommend a useful set of features to advertisement
designers to make it more successful and approachable to users. Our proposed
framework employs the signal processing technique of cross modality feature
learning where data streams from different components are employed to train
separate neural network models and are then fused together to learn a shared
representation. Subsequently, a neural network model trained on this joint
feature embedding representation is utilized as a classifier to predict
advertisement effectiveness. We validate our approach using subjective ratings
from a dedicated user study, the sentiment strength of online viewer comments,
and a viewer opinion metric of the ratio of the Likes and Views received by
each advertisement from an online platform.Comment: 11 pages, 5 figures, ICDM 201
Transfer Meets Hybrid: A Synthetic Approach for Cross-Domain Collaborative Filtering with Text
Collaborative filtering (CF) is the key technique for recommender systems
(RSs). CF exploits user-item behavior interactions (e.g., clicks) only and
hence suffers from the data sparsity issue. One research thread is to integrate
auxiliary information such as product reviews and news titles, leading to
hybrid filtering methods. Another thread is to transfer knowledge from other
source domains such as improving the movie recommendation with the knowledge
from the book domain, leading to transfer learning methods. In real-world life,
no single service can satisfy a user's all information needs. Thus it motivates
us to exploit both auxiliary and source information for RSs in this paper. We
propose a novel neural model to smoothly enable Transfer Meeting Hybrid (TMH)
methods for cross-domain recommendation with unstructured text in an end-to-end
manner. TMH attentively extracts useful content from unstructured text via a
memory module and selectively transfers knowledge from a source domain via a
transfer network. On two real-world datasets, TMH shows better performance in
terms of three ranking metrics by comparing with various baselines. We conduct
thorough analyses to understand how the text content and transferred knowledge
help the proposed model.Comment: 11 pages, 7 figures, a full version for the WWW 2019 short pape
Sentiment Analysis for Social Media
Sentiment analysis is a branch of natural language processing concerned with the study of the intensity of the emotions expressed in a piece of text. The automated analysis of the multitude of messages delivered through social media is one of the hottest research fields, both in academy and in industry, due to its extremely high potential applicability in many different domains. This Special Issue describes both technological contributions to the field, mostly based on deep learning techniques, and specific applications in areas like health insurance, gender classification, recommender systems, and cyber aggression detection
Text-based Sentiment Analysis and Music Emotion Recognition
Nowadays, with the expansion of social media, large amounts of user-generated
texts like tweets, blog posts or product reviews are shared online. Sentiment polarity
analysis of such texts has become highly attractive and is utilized in recommender
systems, market predictions, business intelligence and more. We also witness deep
learning techniques becoming top performers on those types of tasks. There are
however several problems that need to be solved for efficient use of deep neural
networks on text mining and text polarity analysis.
First of all, deep neural networks are data hungry. They need to be fed with
datasets that are big in size, cleaned and preprocessed as well as properly labeled.
Second, the modern natural language processing concept of word embeddings as a
dense and distributed text feature representation solves sparsity and dimensionality
problems of the traditional bag-of-words model. Still, there are various uncertainties
regarding the use of word vectors: should they be generated from the same dataset
that is used to train the model or it is better to source them from big and popular
collections that work as generic text feature representations? Third, it is not easy for
practitioners to find a simple and highly effective deep learning setup for various
document lengths and types. Recurrent neural networks are weak with longer texts
and optimal convolution-pooling combinations are not easily conceived. It is thus
convenient to have generic neural network architectures that are effective and can
adapt to various texts, encapsulating much of design complexity.
This thesis addresses the above problems to provide methodological and practical
insights for utilizing neural networks on sentiment analysis of texts and achieving
state of the art results. Regarding the first problem, the effectiveness of various
crowdsourcing alternatives is explored and two medium-sized and emotion-labeled
song datasets are created utilizing social tags. One of the research interests of Telecom
Italia was the exploration of relations between music emotional stimulation and
driving style. Consequently, a context-aware music recommender system that aims
to enhance driving comfort and safety was also designed. To address the second
problem, a series of experiments with large text collections of various contents and
domains were conducted. Word embeddings of different parameters were exercised
and results revealed that their quality is influenced (mostly but not only) by the
size of texts they were created from. When working with small text datasets, it is
thus important to source word features from popular and generic word embedding
collections. Regarding the third problem, a series of experiments involving convolutional
and max-pooling neural layers were conducted. Various patterns relating
text properties and network parameters with optimal classification accuracy were
observed. Combining convolutions of words, bigrams, and trigrams with regional
max-pooling layers in a couple of stacks produced the best results. The derived
architecture achieves competitive performance on sentiment polarity analysis of
movie, business and product reviews.
Given that labeled data are becoming the bottleneck of the current deep learning
systems, a future research direction could be the exploration of various data programming
possibilities for constructing even bigger labeled datasets. Investigation
of feature-level or decision-level ensemble techniques in the context of deep neural
networks could also be fruitful. Different feature types do usually represent complementary
characteristics of data. Combining word embedding and traditional text
features or utilizing recurrent networks on document splits and then aggregating the
predictions could further increase prediction accuracy of such models
