Opinion Mining of Consumer Reviews Using Deep Neural Networks with Word-Sentiment Associations

Abstract

Automated opinion mining of consumer reviews is becoming increasingly important due to the rising influence of reviews on online retail shopping. Existing approaches to automated opinion classification rely either on sentiment lexicons or supervised machine learning. Deep neural networks perform this classification task particularly well by utilizing dense document representation in terms of word embeddings. However, this representation model does not consider the sentiment polarity or sentiment intensity of the words. To overcome this problem, we propose a novel model of deep neural network with word-sentiment associations. This model produces richer document representation that incorporates both word context and word sentiment. Specifically, our model utilizes pre-trained word embeddings and lexicon-based sentiment indicators to provide inputs to a deep feed-forward neural network. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed model, a benchmark dataset of Amazon reviews is used. Our results strongly support integrated document representation, which shows that the proposed model outperforms other existing machine learning approaches to opinion mining of consumer reviews.

Unsupervised Fuzzy-Multi-Core Aspect Sentiment Analysis for Big Data of Online News Users' Persian Opinions

“…In this regard, Support Vector Machines (SVM) have emerged as a prominent technique in the field of sentiment analysis, both independently [19] and in its advanced [20] and combined forms, such as combining with deep learning [21] and Fuzzy Method [22]. Research has shown that SVM outperforms other methods in sentiment mining tasks.…”

“…A considerable number of tools have been developed for opinion mining to be used in analyzing consumer opinions in most major business environments, such as travelling, accommodation, consumables, materials, products, and services [4]. However, the health sector has witnessed relatively less development.…”

“…Simultaneously, such a positive review assists the vendor to gain several biographies by enhancing the productivity and sale of a particular product. 5 Each individual can generously convey their own opinions and reviews without any panic whereas online posing and social media have done this easier to post their opinions and reviews more confidently. Here, both positive and negative opinions are considered as valuable one and this permits the people having nasty thoughts that make it easy for the people to post their opinions and support their product.…”
