In this study, we propose a novel multi-criteria recommendation model that utilizes predefined, implicit, and undefined criteria. We use a semantic similarity-based sentence clustering method to identify the predefined and implicit criteria and a sentiment analyzer to estimate their ratings. Semantic similarity between each sentence in the review and the predefined criteria are calculated, and then the sentence is assigned to the most similar criteria. The criteria that are extracted from the review and are aligned with predefined criteria are referred to as implicit criteria. A sentence is considered as expressing opinions on an undefined criterion if the similarity score between this sentence and all the predefined criteria is lower than a predefined threshold. Ratings are computed for each extracted implicit criterion and the undefined criterion based on the review content. Finally, we use all three types of criteria and an aggregation model to make the final rating prediction for the recommendation system. Our proposed method demonstrates the superiority compared to several baselines on TripAdvisor and Beer Advocate datasets.

摘要

In this study, we propose a novel multi-criteria recommendation model that utilizes predefined, implicit, and undefined criteria. We use a semantic similarity-based sentence clustering method to identify the predefined and implicit criteria and a sentiment analyzer to estimate their ratings. Semantic similarity between each sentence in the review and the predefined criteria are calculated, and then the sentence is assigned to the most similar criteria. The criteria that are extracted from the review and are aligned with predefined criteria are referred to as implicit criteria. A sentence is considered as expressing opinions on an undefined criterion if the similarity score between this sentence and all the predefined criteria is lower than a predefined threshold. Ratings are computed for each extracted implicit criterion and the undefined criterion based on the review content. Finally, we use all three types of criteria and an aggregation model to make the final rating prediction for the recommendation system. Our proposed method demonstrates the superiority compared to several baselines on TripAdvisor and Beer Advocate datasets.
