3. Introduction
What is Opinion Mining?
• Opinion mining focuses on using information processing
techniques to find valuable information in the vast quantity of
user-generated content.

Companies?

6. 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]

8. 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 8

9. Sentence  ‘the performance of the
car is really very good’
Output  (in Pretty Print Format)

NOTE:
VB-Verb
DT-Determiner
NN-Noun
IN-Preposition
DF-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

Algorithms

16. Algorithms
1. Polarity Assignment Algorithm
2. Opinion Extraction Algorithm
3. Weight Assignment Algorithm

17. System Learning and Tuning
• Alerts [2]
– Noise can get added in domain knowledge
– Also, Polarity orientation may be opposite
– These are corrected here
17

18. 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
19

20. 20Fig 9:System Learning and Tuning [3]

21. Implementation
21

22. 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. 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. 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)

• 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. 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
32
Fig 14:Polarity Assignment Algorithm [3]

33. 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)

34. Applications

35. 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

• Cannot deal with complex sentences, e.g.
irony. [4]
• No deep linguistic analysis. [4]
Application:tweetfeel

38. 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.

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

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”.
