  • Patent number: 10642975
    Abstract: Systems and methods for detecting deceptive opinion spam. Certain embodiments include a classifier with improved accuracy for detecting deceptive opinion entries. A feature analysis of learned models reveals a relationship between deceptive opinions and imaginative writing. By modeling deception in a generative framework, the prevalence of deception in two popular online review communities may be determined. Deceptive opinion spam is a rapidly growing and widespread problem, especially in review communities with minimal posting requirements.

  • Publication number: 20150331937
    Abstract: A method and system for automatically summarizing fine-grained opinions in digital text are disclosed. Accordingly, a digital text is analyzed for the purpose of extracting all opinion expressions found in the text. Next, the extracted opinion expressions (referred to herein as opinion frames) are analyzed to generate opinion summaries. In forming an opinion summary, those opinion frames sharing in common an opinion source and/or opinion topic may be combined, such that an overall opinion summary indicates an aggregate opinion held by the common source toward the common topic.
