Abstract

This paper aims at demonstrating sentiment strength analysis in aspect-based opinion mining. Previous works normally focused on reviewers’ sentiment orientation and ignored sentiment strength that users expressed in the reviews. In order to offset this disadvantage, two methods for sentiment strength evaluation were proposed. Experiments on a huge hotel review dataset show how sentiment strength analysis can improve the performance of aspect rating prediction.
