Abstract

Performing detailed sentiment analysis includes generating a first sentiment score for a first entity based on a content source. The first sentiment score is generated with respect to a first dimension. A second sentiment score for the first entity is generated based on the content source. The second sentiment score is generated with respect to a second dimension.

Claims (28)

1. A system for performing detailed sentiment analysis, comprising:

a processor configured to:

analyze a first portion of text included in a content source to generate a first sentiment score for a first entity on a first dimension

analyze a second portion of text included in the content source to generate a second sentiment score for the first entity on a second dimension, wherein the first and second portions of text are at least partially overlapping; and

a memory coupled to the processor and configured to provide the processor with instructions.

2. The system of claim 1 further comprising an interface configured to receive the content source.

3. The system of claim 1 wherein the content source comprises at least one result of performing a search for the first entity in a search engine.

4. The system of claim 1 wherein the processor is further configured to aggregate the first and second sentiment score.

5. The system of claim 1 wherein the processor is further configured to generate a third sentiment score for the first entity on a third dimension based on the content source.

6. The system of claim 1 wherein the processor is further configured to determine a relevance of the first dimension to the content source.

7. The system of claim 6 wherein determining the relevance comprises applying a threshold.

8. The system of claim 1 wherein the content source comprises content obtained from a third party review site.

9. The system of claim 1 wherein generating the first sentiment score comprises using a machine learning model.

10. The system of claim 1 wherein generating the first sentiment score comprises applying a rule-based model.

11. The system of claim 1 wherein the processor is further configured to recommend as likely to be of interest to the first entity at least one of the first dimension and the second dimension.

12. The system of claim 1 further comprising an interface configured to receive a selection of at least one of the first dimension and the second dimension from a user.

13. The system of claim 1 wherein the first dimension comprises an unprofessional language dimension.

14. The system of claim 1 wherein the first dimension comprises an ethics dimension.

15. The system of claim 1 wherein the first dimension comprises a customer service dimension.

16. The system of claim 1 wherein the first dimension and second dimension are organized within a dimension hierarchy.

17. A method of performing detailed sentiment analysis, comprising:

analyzing, by a processor, a first portion of text included in a content source to generate a first sentiment score for a first entity on a first dimension; and

analyzing a second portion of text included in the content source to generate a second sentiment score for the first entity on a second dimension, wherein the first and second portions of text are at least partially overlapping.

18. The method of claim 17 , further comprising aggregating the first and second sentiment score.

19. The method of claim 17 , further comprising generating a third sentiment score for the first entity on a third dimension based on the content source.

20. A computer program product for performing detailed sentiment analysis, the computer program product being embodied in a tangible and non-transitory computer readable storage medium and comprising computer instructions for:

analyzing a first portion of text included in a content source to generate a first sentiment score for a first entity on a first dimension; and

analyzing a second portion of text included in the content source to generate a second sentiment score for the first entity on a second dimension, wherein the first and second portions of text are at least partially overlapping.
