A weighted sum method MCDM approach for recommending product using sentiment analysis

摘要

In recent times, reviews of products by customers have been proliferating on the online platform. Majority of the reviews are lengthy, and going through the reviews before making a decision can be a tedious task for the user. In this paper, we extract the popular features from customers' reviews to analyse the possible opinions of these features. Choosing a product from the different combination of opinions for these features is treated as a multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) problem. Weighted sum method, a MCDM approach, is used to evaluate the priority score for each product. The product with the highest score is recommended to the user. Real-time dataset from Amazon is used to evaluate our system's performance. The experimental result shows that our proposed method produces a promising result which can help the user in the decision making process.
