IntroductionWhat is Opinion Mining?

• Opinion mining focuses on using information processing

techniques to find valuable information in the vast quantity of

user-generated content.

How Opinion Mining is useful for Companies?

Feedback Cycle in Companies

Fig 2:Feedback Cycle[2]

Methodology Input from different sources:[4]

• Web Reviews• Blogs• Text Documents

Sentences are classified into two principal classes:• objective sentences• subjective sentences

Opinion and Sentiments can be extracted from subjective sentences only. [4]

Methodology (Cont…)

Stanford Core NLP(Natural language processing)

libraries [1] Provides a set of natural language analysis tools. Input:

Raw English language Output:

POS-Tagging, Parse Tree Co-referencing dependencies Word Count

Sentence ‘the performance of the car is really very good’

Output (in Pretty Print Format)

NOTE:VB-VerbDT-DeterminerNN-NounIN-PrepositionDF-Adjective

10

Methodology (Cont…)• SentiWordNet[4]

A lexical resource for opinion mining Provides

- synsets; synonyms of the word- positive, objective and negative score for the word in the range of 0 to 1

System Learning and Tuning

• Alerts [2]

– Noise can get added in domain knowledge

– Also, Polarity orientation may be opposite

– These are corrected here

18Fig 8:System Learning and Tuning [3]

19

System Learning and Tuning

• Blacklist[3]

– Some of the noisy data may get added again and

again.

– On blacklisting them, they are never considered

again for opinion mining

– Burden of admin to remove noise is reduced

21

Implementation

22

• Enhancers:[1]▫Appear with opinion word▫ Increase the +ve or –ve of sentence ▫Words like ‘extremely’, ‘very’, etc.

Happy with the car

(positive degree)

Very happy with the car

(larger positive degree)

Larger Positive Degree

Larger Negative Degree

Poor Performance

(negative degree)

Extremely Poor Performance

(larger negative degree)

23

• Reducers:[1] Appear with opinion word Reduce the Impact Words like ‘only’, ‘slightly’, etc.

Lesser Positive Degree

Better Performance

(positive degree)

Slightly Better Performance

(lesser positive degree)

Lesser Negative Degree

Bad Taste

(negative degree)

Slightly Bad Taste

(lesser negative degree)

24

• Negation:[1]– Reverses the polarity of the word– Words like ‘Not’, ‘Never’, etc.– Recognizing is a crucial task

– Set of words which convey positive effect– Words like ‘free’, ‘remove’, etc.

Car is Good Car is not Good

Car is hassle free

(‘hassle’ is negative word.‘free’ changes the polarity from negative to

positive.Hence ‘hassle free’ becomes a positive

opinion)

• An observation sequence O of length T:

O = (O1, O2,… OT)• Some definitions:

– n - the number of stated in the model– M - the number of different symbols that can observed– Q - {q1, q2,…,qn} – set of internal states– V - {v1,v2,…,vn} – the set of observable symbols– A - {} – set of state of transitional probabilities– B - {} – set of symbol emission probabilities– Π - initial state probability distribution– Λ – Hidden Markov Model

λ = (A,B,Π)

30

• Suppose there are two coins A : Biased, B : Unbiased• For A, probability of Heads = 0.75 probability of Tails = 0.25• For B, probability of Heads = 0.5 probability of Tails = 0.5

Person can toss any coin he wants. He can switch from one coin to another at any instance of time. Only the output at each instance i.e. ‘H’ or ‘T’ is visible to us.

Biased-Coin Model

31

Visible States = {Heads, Tails}Hidden States = {Biased coin, Unbiased coin}Sample Output

HTHHTHTHHTHTHTHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHTTHTHTHTHT

Here we cannot surely say when the person switched between the two coins.

Using HMM, we can predict when biased coin was used. HTHHTHTHHTHTHTHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHTTHTHTHTHT

32

Polarity Assignment Algorithm

Fig 14:Polarity Assignment Algorithm [3]

33

• P(o) polarity of the opinion words • P(m) polarity of the modifiers • Both can take values either 1(+ve) or -1(-ve)

• W(o) Weight of opinion words• W(m) Weight of modifiers.

The final weight W(f)

W(f) = P(o) * W(o) * [1 + W(m)]P(m)

Applications

35

• Twitter and Facebook[4]– Target of many opinion mining applications

• Monitoring opinions on a brand, politician, etc.– most common application

• tweetfeel– real time analysis of tweets that contain a ‐

given term• Main opinion mining task[4]

– sentiment classification of collection of tweets

Application:tweetfeel

36

Application:tweetfeel

Fig 15:Tweetfeel Example [4]

37

• Cannot deal with complex sentences, e.g. irony. [4]

• No deep linguistic analysis. [4]

Application:tweetfeel

38

Application: The Stock

Sonar• Analysis of financial markets, in particular

public companies. [4]• Sources: news articles, blogs, tweets, etc.• Main opinion mining task

– sentiment classification of all documents about a given stock

• Visualization of[4]– Daily positive and negative sentiment– Price of the stock.

39

Application: The Stock

Sonar

Fig 16: The Stock Sonar Example [4]

40

Application: Google Products• For consumers[4]

– Product search and comparison– Online product reviews

• For producers[4]– PowerReviews: structuring and analyzing user‐

generated content.– Boosts product sales, drives traffic, and increases

customer engagement• Main opinion mining task[4]

– Aspect based opinion mining‐

41

Application: Google Products

42

Conclusions• This project can directly affect the industry’s

time and performance, in terms of the customer relationship. It is possible to know what user wants to express by their reviews. That is what is the concept of – “Sentiment Analyzer”.
