Abstract

As the World Wide Web rapidly grows, a huge number of online documents are easily accessible on the Web. We obtain a huge number of review documents that include user’s opinions for products. To summarize the opinions is one of the hottest topics in natural language processing. We focus on aspects of a product in the summarization process. First, we identify a relation between aspects and each word in review documents. Our method employs an unsupervised approach for the identification process. The experimental result shows the effectiveness of the method. Next, we generate a summary by using the relations. In our system, users obtain the summary by an interactive approach.
