Abstract

In this paper, we propose a Fuzzy Cognitive Map (FCM) to opinion mining, with special attention to media influence on public opinion. Particularly, in this paper, we describe the FCM, the concepts and relationships among them. Our opinion mining model is based on a multilevel FCM, to distribute the concepts according to the aspects that describe the elements conforming public opinion, which are: social, technological and biological. We carry out preliminary tests, and the results are very encouraging.
