Book Review Retrieval Techniques for Adopting Estimated Reviewer Quality

摘要

Online shopping has become a way of life for many people. Buying books online is also an example of such a lifestyle. As the number of buying books online increases, book reviews written by other readers are becoming more important. Therefore, demand for adequate search systems for finding meaningful online reviews has increased. However, such systems serviced by online bookstores or collected reviews have limited functionality. Moreover, there is no search engine for retrieving book reviews scattered in such websites. In this paper, we propose retrieval techniques which are proper for searching book reviews adopting estimated reviewer quality. We show that our techniques outperform previous techniques in searching for book reviews.
