Abstract from the paper

Consumers are often forced to wade through many on-line reviews in order to make an informed product choice. This paper introduces OPINE, an unsupervised information-extraction system which mines reviews in order to build a model of important product features, their evaluation by reviewers, and their relative quality across products.
Compared to previous work, OPINE achieves 22% higher precision (with only 3% lower recall) on the feature extraction task. OPINE’s novel use of relaxation labeling for finding the semantic orientation of words in context leads to strong performance on the tasks of finding opinion phrases and their polarity.

Summary

Overview

This paper proposes various methods for opinion mining and classification of product reviews as positive or negative for specific product features. The paper describes four main sub-problems to deal with -

  1. Identifying product features/attributes
  2. Mining opinions about product features
  3. Determining opinion polarity
  4. Ranking opinions based on their strength

In order to solve the above sub tasks, this paper introduces OPINE, an unsupervised review mining system, built on top of the KnowItAll web information extraction system.
