Increase in activity of opinion mining and sentiment analysis, challenges are getting added every day. There is a need for automated analysis techniques to extract sentiments and opinions conveyed in the user-comments. Sentiment analysis, also known as opinion mining is the computational study of sentiments and opinions conveyed in natural language for the purpose of decision making. Preprocessing data play a vital role in getting accurate sentiment analysis results. Extracting opinion target words provide fine-grained analysis on the customer reviews.

Mining product reviews based on shallow dependency parsing

This paper presents a novel method for mining product reviews, where it mines reviews by identifying product features, expressions of opinions and relations between them. By taking advantage of the fact that most of product features are phrases, a concept of shallow dependency parsing is introduced, which extends traditional dependency parsing to phrase level. This concept is then implemented for extracting relation between product features and expressions of opinions. Experimental evaluations show that the mining task can benefit from shallow dependency parsing
