Review selection based on topic models

(2018) Review selection based on topic models. Masters by Research thesis, Queensland University of Technology.

Description

The thesis addresses an important issue in e-commerce area that customers were overwhelmed by huge amount of online product reviews in attempting to find useful reviews. The thesis proposed a novel approach to represent the online reviews using features and related words identified by applying data mining and text mining methods, specifically, using probabilistic Topic Modelling methods. Then, based upon the derived related words, the thesis proposed a new method to select the most helpful reviews that discuss a specified feature of product.

These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
