Abstract
The web has become an excellent source for gathering people opinions. A significant part of our information-gathering behavior has always been to find out what other people think. There are now several social media sites containing such opinions and thoughts of people. With the growing availability and popularity of opinion-rich resources such as online reviews and personal blogs, new opportunities and challenges have arisen as people now can, and do, actively use information technologies to seek out and understand the opinions of others. The sudden eruption of activity in the area of opinion mining and sentiment analysis, which deals with the computational treatment of opinion, sentiment, and subjectivity in text, has thus occurred at least in part as a direct response to the surge of interest in new systems that deal directly with opinions as a first-class object. This information can be used to analyze, determine and compare opinions of people from customers’ reviews of products, forums, discussion groups and blogs.
