Abstract

With the rapid growth of e-commerce, there are a great number of customer reviews on the e-commerce websites. Generally, potential customers usually wade through a lot of on-line reviews in order to make an informed decision. However, retrieving sentiment information relevant to customer's interest still remains challenging. Developing a sentiment mining and retrieval system is a good way to overcome the problem of overloaded information in customer reviews. In this paper, we propose a sentiment mining and retrieval system which mines useful knowledge from consumer product reviews by utilizing data mining and information retrieval technology. A novel ranking mechanism taking temporal opinion quality (TOQ) and relevance into account is developed to meet customers' information need. Besides the trend movement of customer reviews and the comparison between positive and negative evaluation are presented visually in the system. Experimental results on a real-world data set show the system is feasible and effective.
