What attracts vehicle consumersâ buying:A Saaty scale-based VIKOR (SSC-VIKOR) approach from after-sales textual perspective?
Purpose:
The increasingly booming e-commerce development has stimulated vehicle consumers to express individual reviews through online forum. The purpose of this paper is to probe into the vehicle consumer consumption behavior and make recommendations for potential consumers from textual comments viewpoint.
Design/methodology/approach:
A big data analytic-based approach is designed to discover vehicle consumer consumption behavior from online perspective. To reduce subjectivity of expert-based approaches, a parallel NaĂŻve Bayes approach is designed to analyze the sentiment analysis, and the Saaty scale-based (SSC) scoring rule is employed to obtain specific sentimental value of attribute class, contributing to the multi-grade sentiment classification. To achieve the intelligent recommendation for potential vehicle customers, a novel SSC-VIKOR approach is developed to prioritize vehicle brand candidates from a big data analytical viewpoint.
Findings:
The big data analytics argue that âcost-effectivenessâ characteristic is the most important factor that vehicle consumers care, and the data mining results enable automakers to better understand consumer consumption behavior.
Research limitations/implications:
The case study illustrates the effectiveness of the integrated method, contributing to much more precise operations management on marketing strategy, quality improvement and intelligent recommendation.
Originality/value:
Researches of consumer consumption behavior are usually based on survey-based methods, and mostly previous studies about comments analysis focus on binary analysis. The hybrid SSC-VIKOR approach is developed to fill the gap from the big data perspective
Attribute Sentiment Scoring With Online Text Reviews : Accounting for Language Structure and Attribute Self-Selection
The authors address two novel and signiïŹcant challenges in using online text reviews to obtain attribute level ratings. First, they introduce the problem of inferring attribute level sentiment from text data to the marketing literature and develop a deep learning model to address it. While extant bag of words based topic models are fairly good at attribute discovery based on frequency of word or phrase occurrences, associating sentiments to attributes requires exploiting the spatial and sequential structure of language. Second, they illustrate how to correct for attribute self-selectionâreviewers choose the subset of attributes to write aboutâin metrics of attribute level restaurant performance. Using Yelp.com reviews for empirical illustration, they ïŹnd that a hybrid deep learning (CNN-LSTM) model, where CNN and LSTM exploit the spatial and sequential structure of language respectively provide the best performance in accuracy, training speed and training data size requirements. The model does particularly well on the âhardâ sentiment classiïŹcation problems. Further, accounting for attribute self-selection signiïŹcantly impacts sentiment scores, especially on attributes that are frequently missing
Automatic domain ontology extraction for context-sensitive opinion mining
Automated analysis of the sentiments presented in online consumer feedbacks can facilitate both organizationsâ business strategy development and individual consumersâ comparison shopping. Nevertheless, existing opinion mining methods either adopt a context-free sentiment classification approach or rely on a large number of manually annotated training examples to perform context sensitive sentiment classification. Guided by the design science research methodology, we illustrate the design, development, and evaluation of a novel fuzzy domain ontology based contextsensitive opinion mining system. Our novel ontology extraction mechanism underpinned by a variant of Kullback-Leibler divergence can automatically acquire contextual sentiment knowledge across various product domains to improve the sentiment analysis processes. Evaluated based on a benchmark dataset and real consumer reviews collected from Amazon.com, our system shows remarkable performance improvement over the context-free baseline
Towards the development of an explainable e-commerce fake review index: An attribute analytics approach
Instruments of corporate risk and reputation assessment tools are quintessentially developed on structured quantitative data linked to financial ratios and macroeconomics. An emerging stream of studies has challenged this norm by demonstrating improved risk assessment and model prediction capabilities through unstructured textual corporate data. Fake online consumer reviews pose serious threats to a businessâ competitiveness and sales performance, directly impacting revenue, market share, brand reputation and even survivability. Research has shown that as little as three negative reviews can lead to a potential loss of 59.2 % of customers. Amazon, as the largest e-commerce retail platform, hosts over 85,000 small-to-medium-size (SME) retailers (UK), selling over fifty percent of Amazon products worldwide. Despite Amazon's best efforts, fake reviews are a growing problem causing financial and reputational damage at a scale never seen before. While large corporations are better equipped to handle these problems more efficiently, SMEs become the biggest victims of these scam tactics. Following the principles of attribute (AA) and responsible (RA) analytics, we present a novel hybrid method for indexing enterprise risk that we call the Fake Review Index (). The proposed modular approach benefits from a combination of structured review metadata and semantic topic index derived from unstructured product reviews. We further apply LIME to develop a Confidence Score, demonstrating the importance of explainability and openness in contemporary analytics within the OR domain. Transparency, explainability and simplicity of our roadmap to a hybrid modular approach offers an attractive entry platform for practitioners and managers from the industry
Assessment, Implication, and Analysis of Online Consumer Reviews: A Literature Review
The onset of e-marketplace, virtual communities and social networking has appreciated the influential capability of online consumer reviews (OCR) and therefore necessitate conglomeration of the body of knowledge. This article attempts to conceptually cluster academic literature in both management and technical domain. The study follows a framework which broadly clusters management research under two heads: OCR Assessment and OCR Implication (business implication). Parallel technical literature has been reviewed to reconcile methodologies adopted in the analysis of text content on the web, majorly reviews. Text mining through automated tools, algorithmic contribution (dominant majorly in technical stream literature) and manual assessment (derived from the stream of content analysis) has been studied in this review article. Literature survey of both the domains is analyzed to propose possible area for further research. Usage of text analysis methods along with statistical and data mining techniques to analyze review text and utilize the knowledge creation for solving managerial issues can possibly constitute further work.

Personal customized recommendation system reflecting purchase criteria and product reviews sentiment analysis
As the size of the e-commerce market grows, the consequences of it are appearing throughout society. The business environment of a company changes from a product center to a user center and introduces a recommendation system. However, the existing research has shown a limitation in deriving customized recommendation information to reflect the detailed information that users consider when purchasing a product. Therefore, the proposed system reflects the user's subjective purchasing criteria in the recommendation algorithm. And conduct sentiment analysis of product review data. Finally, the final sentiment score is weighted according to the purchase criteria priority, recommends the results to the user
An Empirical Examination of Consumer Behavior for Search and Experience Goods in Sentiment Analysis
With the explosive increase of user-generated content such as product reviews and social media, sentiment analysis has emerged as an area of interest. Sentiment analysis is a useful method to analyze product reviews, and product feature extraction is an important task in sentiment analysis, during which one identifies features of products from reviews. Product features are categorized by product type, such as search goods or experience goods, and their characteristics are totally different. Thus, we examine whether the classification performance differs by product type. The findings show that the optimal threshold varies by product type, and simply decreasing the threshold to cover many features does not guarantee improvement of the classification performance
THE IDENTIFICATION OF NOTEWORTHY HOTEL REVIEWS FOR HOTEL MANAGEMENT
The rapid emergence of user-generated content (UGC) inspires knowledge sharing among Internet users. A good example is the well-known travel site TripAdvisor.com, which enables users to share their experiences and express their opinions on attractions, accommodations, restaurants, etc. The UGC about travel provide precious information to the users as well as staff in travel industry. In particular, how to identify reviews that are noteworthy for hotel management is critical to the success of hotels in the competitive travel industry. We have employed two hotel managers to conduct an examination on Taiwanâs hotel reviews in Tripadvisor.com and found that noteworthy reviews can be characterized by their content features, sentiments, and review qualities. Through the experiments using tripadvisor.com data, we find that all three types of features are important in identifying noteworthy hotel reviews. Specifically, content features are shown to have the most impact, followed by sentiments and review qualities. With respect to the various methods for representing content features, LDA method achieves comparable performance to TF-IDF method with higher recall and much fewer features
