Abstract

Recently, there are a lot of commercial web sites in which users can write reviews. Many people see the reviews of an item they are interested in. The opinions in reviews are useful when they want to measure whether a certain item is good. However, some reviews about items that contains stories (e.g. novels, movies, and computer games) have spoilers (undesirable descriptions of the story) as well as the opinions of review authors (reviewers). If users see a review involving spoilers, they might feel less interesting when you read or watch the item. We try to make a system that helps users see reviews without seeing plots.
