Abstract

We have developed a novel system for searching comprehensive Web pages by focusing on multiplicity of sentiments of writers for a topic. Recently, lots of studies and services based on sentiment analysis have been conducted, since it is still difficult to search and summarize information satisfying users’ needs by text analysis only. In this paper, we propose a system for searching and visualizing comprehensive Web pages in terms of sentiments by extracting multiple sentiments of Web pages on a query topic and re-retrieving Web pages using sub-topic keywords. Specifically, this system extracts sentiment features of each Web page using a sentiment dictionary consisting of three sentiment dimensions; “Happy ⇔ Sad,” “Glad ⇔ Angry,” and “Peaceful ⇔ Strained.” Next, in order to conduct a re-retrieval, it extracts sub-topic keywords from Web pages of maximum (or minimum) sentiment features on three sentiment dimensions, respectively. Then, it re-retrieves Web pages using the query topic keyword and the extracted sub-topic keywords. Then, it plots them on sentiment graphs based on their sentiment features. By using the graphs, we can grasp not only sentiment tendency but also comprehensive sentiments for a query topic. In the experiment, we evaluate our proposed method using the developed system.

Notes

  1. 1.

  2. 2.

    Since the title and snippet of a Web page summarize the content of the page and their text is shorter than the full page, the system actually calculates the sentiment features using the text of the title and snippet for each page so as to shorten the response time.
