Abstract

Buyers in online auctions write feedback comments to the sellers from whom the buyers have bought the items. Other bidders read them to determine which item to bid for. In this research, we aim at helping bidders by summarizing the feedback comments. Firstly, we examine feedback comments in online auctions. From the results of the examination, we propose a method called social summarization method, which uses social relationships in online auctions for summarizing feedback comments. We implement a system based on our method and evaluate its effectiveness. Finally, we propose an interactive presentation method of the summaries based on the result of the evaluation.
