One or more phrases are classified in one or more categories at least partly on the basis of a period for which a product has been used by the user, the user's experience with the product, preferences of the user, or needs of the user by applying one or more natural language processing (NLP) techniques. The one or more phrases are extractable from an electronic publication at least partly on the basis of on a predefined set of verbs, a predefined set of domain-specific terms, and terms indicative of temporal information. One or more terms from the classified phrases are extracted, in which the one or more terms are indicative of the information about the user.

Abstract: A method, system and a computer program for identifying unexplored research avenues in a plurality of publications is provided. Citation maps for the plurality of publications are generated. The initial set of publications is filtered on the basis of the citation maps and resulting set of publications are ranked according to their prestige value. Natural language processing means are used to perform context matching in order to identify set of sentences in the publications. Paragraphs containing the set of sentences are displayed to a user along with pointers to the respective publication.

Abstract: A recommendation method includes receiving a user's review of an item that includes a textual comment. Deficient features of the reviewed item are identified from the text by applying a set of extraction patterns. Each pattern is satisfied when a term in the text, which is associated in a structured terminology with one of a predefined set of features, is in a syntactic relation with another term in the text, such as a polar adjective or expression of a wish or a lack. When such a pattern is satisfied, the corresponding feature is considered a deficient feature. Feature attributes of the reviewed item are compared with corresponding feature attributes of a set of items to identify any improved items whose attribute for the deficient feature is better than that for the reviewed item. The improved item or items can be recommended to the user or to others reading the review.
