  • First Online:
Opinion Mining in Information Retrieval

Part of the book series: SpringerBriefs in Applied Sciences and Technology ((BRIEFSINTELL))

Abstract

The prime component that can enhance the quality of services is the opinion of the users. Factual information and opinion information are two categories of textual information [1]. Facts are sentences which are true and can be verified, whereas opinions are sentences which hold an element of belief and cannot be verified for their truth.

Notes

  1. 1.

    WordNet is a freely and publically available large lexical dataset of English.

  2. 2.

    SentiWordNet is a lexical resource for opinion mining. SentiWordNet assigns to each synset of WordNet three sentiment scores: positivity, negativity, objectivity (http://SentiWordNet.isti.cnr.it/).
