Abstract
Based on the excessive online reviews of tourism spot and related research status, this paper attempts to design an affective computing system to provide a comprehensive analysis of affective inclination toward multiple products/services in specific tourism spots, thus transforming complex and unstructured review texts into structured attitudinal information. The designing process consists of three parts: firstly, the author puts forward the framework of affective computing system of online tourism spot reviews based on modular design; secondly, build and modify a feature-oriented domain dictionary through association algorithm for feature mining; thirdly, conduct the mining of adverbs of degree, polarity and negative words grounded on the dependency under syntactic analysis; last of all, come up with the calculation method of online tourism spot reviews’ affective inclination, construct and display the basic affective computing system. Key words: tourism spot; online review; syntactic analysis; feature mining; affective computing
