OBOME - Ontology based opinion mining in UBIPOL

Ontologies have a special role in the UBIPOL system, they help to structure the policy related context, provide conceptualization for policy domain and use in the opinion mining process. In this work we presented a system called Ontology Based Opinion Mining Engine (OBOME) for analyzing a domain-specific opinion corpus by first assisting the user with the creation of a domain ontology from the corpus. We determined the polarity of opinion on the various domain aspects. In the former step, the policy domain aspect has are identified (namely which policy category is represented by the concept). This identification is supported by the policy modelling ontology, which describe the most important policy – related classes and structure. Then the most informative documents from the corpus are extracted and asked the user to create a set of aspects and related keywords using these documents. In the latter step, we used the corpus specific ontology to model the domain and extracted aspect-polarity associations using grammatical dependencies between words. Later, summarized results are shown to the user to analyze and store. Finally, in an offline process policy modeling ontology is updated

Sentiment analysis on online social network

A large amount of data is maintained in every Social networking sites.The total data constantly gathered on these sites make it difficult for methods like use of field agents, clipping services and ad-hoc research to maintain social media data. This paper discusses the previous research on sentiment analysis

Automatic domain ontology extraction for context-sensitive opinion mining

Automated analysis of the sentiments presented in online consumer feedbacks can facilitate both organizations’ business strategy development and individual consumers’ 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

Solving General Arithmetic Word Problems

This paper presents a novel approach to automatically solving arithmetic word problems. This is the first algorithmic approach that can handle arithmetic problems with multiple steps and operations, without depending on additional annotations or predefined templates. We develop a theory for expression trees that can be used to represent and evaluate the target arithmetic expressions; we use it to uniquely decompose the target arithmetic problem to multiple classification problems; we then compose an expression tree, combining these with world knowledge through a constrained inference framework. Our classifiers gain from the use of {\em quantity schemas} that supports better extraction of features. Experimental results show that our method outperforms existing systems, achieving state of the art performance on benchmark datasets of arithmetic word problems.Comment: EMNLP 201

Implicit Sentiment Identification using Aspect based Opinion Mining

Opinion mining or sentiment analysis is the computational study of opinions or emotions towards aspects or things. The aspects are nothing but attributes or components of the individuals, events, topics, products and organizations. Opinion mining has been an active research area in Web mining and Natural Language Processing (NLP) in recent years. With the explosive growth of E-commerce, there are millions of product options available and people tend to review the viewpoint of others before buying a product. An aspect-based opinion mining approach helps in analyzing opinions about product features and attributes. This project is based on extracting aspects and related customer sentiments on tourism domain. This offers an approach to discover consumer preferences about tourism products and services using statistical opinion mining. The proposed system tries to extract both explicit aspects as well as implicit aspects from customer reviews. It thus increases the sentiment orientation of opinion. Most of the researches were based on explicit opinions of customers. This system tries to retrieve implicit sentiments. Due to the growing availability of unstructured reviews, the proposed system gives a summarized form of the information that is obtained from the reviews in order to furnish customers with pin point or crisp results.

Suggestion Mining from Customer Reviews

The increasing online content has influenced users’ buying behavior. It has triggered a paradigm shift in marketing strategies,as the consumer is no longer swayed by marketers, instead relying on user comments for a particular product or service. Thispaper focuses on extracting information from feedbacks like suggestions and recommendation by the users that is oftenpresent along with the sentiment. While Sentiment Analysis looks at extraction of consumer sentiment, our focus is onextracting actionable feedback present in the text for use by different stakeholders like business analysts and the customer.Our focus is on mining the key suggestions present in text which would benefit the product developer. We present our resultsand observations in the paper

Types and forgetfulness in categorical linguistics and quantum mechanics

The role of types in categorical models of meaning is investigated. A general scheme for how typed models of meaning may be used to compare sentences, regardless of their grammatical structure is described, and a toy example is used as an illustration. Taking as a starting point the question of whether the evaluation of such a type system 'loses information', we consider the parametrized typing associated with connectives from this viewpoint. The answer to this question implies that, within full categorical models of meaning, the objects associated with types must exhibit a simple but subtle categorical property known as self-similarity. We investigate the category theory behind this, with explicit reference to typed systems, and their monoidal closed structure. We then demonstrate close connections between such self-similar structures and dagger Frobenius algebras. In particular, we demonstrate that the categorical structures implied by the polymorphically typed connectives give rise to a (lax unitless) form of the special forms of Frobenius algebras known as classical structures, used heavily in abstract categorical approaches to quantum mechanics.Comment: 37 pages, 4 figure
