Abstract

Blog clustering is an important approach for online public opinion analysis. The traditional clustering methods, usually group blogs by keywords, stories and timeline, which usually ignore opinions and emotions expressed in the blog articles. In this paper, an integrated graph-based model for clustering Chinese blogs by embedded sentiments is proposed. A novel graph-based representation and the corresponding clustering algorithm are applied on the Chinese blog search results. The proposed model SoB-graph considers not only sentiment words but also structural information in blogs. Experimental results show that comparing with the traditional graph-based document representation model and vector space document representation model, the proposed SoB-graph model has achieved better performance in clustering sentiments in Chinese blog documents.
