Cloud-Based Event-Processing Architecture for Opinion Mining

摘要

The viability of cloud computing for information-intensive tasks arising in real-time opinion mining and sentiment analysis of large online text streams is described. We show how a smart distributed architecture enables an efficient and scalable design for opinion mining on internet-based content that answers key challenges, such as integrating heterogeneous data sources and adapting to events through dynamic system configuration. In particular, we present a novel approach of semantic complex event processing in a cloud environment capturing different levels of information, such as event data (e.g. content from various heterogeneous, distributed sources) as well as associations identified during the opinion mining and sentiment analysis process (e.g. dynamic co-reference resolution).
