An Opinion Document Clustering Technique for Product Characterization

Jae-Young Chang

Abstract


Opinion Mining is one of the application domains of text mining which extracting opinions from documents, and much researches are currently underway. Most of related researches focused on the sentiment classification which classifies the documents into positive/negative opinions. However, there is a little interest in extracting the features characterizing the individual product. In this paper, we propose the technique classifying the opinion documents according to the product features, and selecting the those features characterizing each product. In the proposed method, we utilize the document clustering technique and develope a new algorithm for evaluating the similarity between documents. In addition, through experiments, we prove the usefulness of proposed method.
