Research Directions, Challenges and Issues in Opinion Mining

Rapid growth of Internet and availability of user reviews on the web for any product has provided a need for an effective system to analyze the web reviews. Such reviews are useful to some extent, promising both the customers and product manufacturers. For any popular product, the number of reviews can be in hundreds or even thousands. This creates difficulty for a customer to analyze them and make important decisions on whether to purchase the product or to not. Mining such product reviews or opinions is termed as opinion mining which is broadly classified into two main categories namely facts and opinions. Though there are several approaches for opinion mining, there remains a challenge to decide on the recommendation provided by the system. In this paper, we analyze the basics of opinion mining, challenges, pros & cons of past opinion mining systems and provide some directions for the future research work, focusing on the challenges and issues

Business intelligence analytics using sentiment analysis-a survey

Sentiment analysis (SA) is the study and analysis of sentiments, appraisals and impressions by people about entities, person, happening, topics and services. SA uses text analysis techniques and natural language processing methods to locate and extract information from big data. As most of the people are networked themselves through social websites, they use to express their sentiments through these websites.These sentiments are proved fruitful to an individual, business, government for making decisions. The impressions posted on different available sources are being used by organization to know the market mood about the services they are providing. Analyzing huge moods expressed with different features, style have raised challenge for users. This paper focuses on understanding the fundamentals of sentiment analysis, the techniques used for sentiment extraction and analysis. These techniques are then compared for accuracy, advantages and limitations. Based on the accuracy for expexted approach, we may use the suitable technique

BlogForever D2.6: Data Extraction Methodology

This report outlines an inquiry into the area of web data extraction, conducted within the context of blog preservation. The report reviews theoretical advances and practical developments for implementing data extraction. The inquiry is extended through an experiment that demonstrates the effectiveness and feasibility of implementing some of the suggested approaches. More specifically, the report discusses an approach based on unsupervised machine learning that employs the RSS feeds and HTML representations of blogs. It outlines the possibilities of extracting semantics available in blogs and demonstrates the benefits of exploiting available standards such as microformats and microdata. The report proceeds to propose a methodology for extracting and processing blog data to further inform the design and development of the BlogForever platform

A Survey on Feature-Sentiment Classification Techniques

As internet growing exponentially, the online purchase is proportionally increasing its all around the world. The e-commerce and product selling websites are providing a rich variety of product to be sold. As the quality of product has much impact on its sell, the e-commerce websites tends to take public opinion on the product in terms of consumers feedback, we call it as reviews. These reviews provide much knowledge about the product as the consumers are motivated to write their reviews about the product, more precisely saying, consumer writes their opinion about product’s specifications or product’s features. These public opinions can then be analyzed by the consumers and vendor to make the required manufacturing changes to the product to increase its quality. The Feature Mining along with Sentiment Analysis techniques can be applied to achieve product’s feature and public opinion on these features. Here in this paper we are motivated by the scenario as mentioned above. We had a survey on the different techniques that can be used to mine products feature and classifying those feature along with the sentiment classification on the determined features. The public sentiments can be classified as negative, positive and neutral sentiments. Data Mining provides a rich set of Machine Learning Algorithms which in turn can be used as Sentiment Classifier. After analyzing feature-sentiment techniques, we then studied the feature classification by using its overall sentiment and influence on the product sell

A Survey on Classification Techniques for Feature-Sentiment Analysis

As use of internet and its application are growing exponentially; the e-commerce business i.e. online purchase is proportionately swelling in the world. The e-commerce websites and similar service providing websites are providing a rich variety of product and service to be sold. As the quality of service and product/goods has much effect on its sell, the websites nowadays tends to have public opinion on the product in the form of feedback; we can name it as reviews. These reviews provide much information about the service/product as the customers are encouraged to write their reviews cum assessments about the product, more precisely saying, customer writes their view about product’s specifications or product’s features. These unrestricted or restricted opinions from public can then be considered by the customers and vendor to make the required design/engineering/production changes to the product to upsurge its quality. The Feature Mining along with Sentiment Analysis techniques can be applied to achieve product’s feature and public opinion on these features. Here in this paper we are interestingly motivated by the scenario as discussed above. We had a survey on the different methods cum techniques that can be usually used to extract products/service features and categorizing those feature along with the sentiment classification on the determined features which is part of Machine learning. The public opinions can be classified as positive, negative and neutral sentimentalities. Research area ‘Data Mining’ has proven its importance with its rich set of Machine Learning Algorithms which in turn can be used as Sentiment or Opinion Classifier. After evaluating feature-sentiment techniques, we then studied the feature classification/categorizing by using its overall sentiment and influence on the product/service sell.

Sentiment Analysis or Opinion Mining: A Review

Opinion Mining (OM) or Sentiment Analysis (SA) can be defined as the task of detecting, extracting and classifying opinions on something. It is a type of the processing of the natural language (NLP) to track the public mood to a certain law, policy, or marketing, etc. It involves a way that development for the collection and examination of comments and opinions about legislation, laws, policies, etc., which are posted on the social media. The process of information extraction is very important because it is a very useful technique but also a challenging task. That mean, to extract sentiment from an object in the web-wide, need to automate opinion-mining systems to do it. The existing techniques for sentiment analysis include machine learning (supervised and unsupervised), and lexical-based approaches. Hence, the main aim of this paper presents a survey of sentiment analysis (SA) and opinion mining (OM) approaches, various techniques used that related in this field. As well, it discusses the application areas and challenges for sentiment analysis with insight into the past researcher's works
