Abstract

Opinion stream mining algorithms learn and adapt a polarity model as new opinionated texts arrive. Text understanding is computationally expensive though, and sensitive to the emergence of new words. In this work, we study polarity prediction for opinions on given entities and investigate how prediction quality is affected when we ignore the text of past opinions but exploit the entity-opinion link and the past polarity scores on it. We model each entity as a trajectory of polarity scores and propose learning algorithms that exploit these trajectories for polarity prediction. We study the performance of our approach on the Tools & Home Improvement products of the Amazon Reviews Dataset1.
