Sentiment Aggregation

摘要

A mechanism is provided in a data processing system for aggregating sentiment about an entity from a corpus of documents. The mechanism identifies a plurality of sentiment passages in the corpus of documents. Each of the plurality of sentiment passages includes a statement of sentiment about the entity. The mechanism determines a plurality of passage sentiment scores for the plurality of sentiment passages and an actual aggregate sentiment score from the plurality of passage sentiment scores based on a k-valued model. The mechanism determines a sentiment confidence score for the actual aggregate sentiment score based on the raw aggregate sentiment score and the actual aggregate sentiment score and presents the actual aggregate sentiment score and the sentiment confidence score.
