Abstract

User generated content, particularly Chinese language content, is retrieved from various sources such as forums, microblogs, social media sites, and the like. A portion of the content is manually labeled with a sentiment associated with the content and may be classified according to subject matter referenced. Sentiment-indicating features of the content is extracted according to a sentiment dictionary, which may include topic-specific jargon. The features are used to train a classifier to determine sentiment of content based on sentiment-indicating features. The sentiment for other content may then be determined using the classifier. The output of the classifier may be combined with an explicit rating of a product or product feature.
