CUSTOMER REVIEW AUTHORING ASSISTANT
First Claim
1. An authoring assistant comprising:
- a parser which identifies opinion expressions in an input text;
an opinion review component which generates an analysis of the text based on the identified opinion expressions, the opinion review component computing an effective opinion of the text as a function of a measure of polarity associated with the identified opinion expressions;
a representation generator which generates a representation of the analysis for display on an associated user interface, the representation of the analysis including a representation of the effective opinion; and
a processor which implements the opinion review component and representation generator.

Abstract
An authoring assistant includes a parser which automatically identifies opinion expressions in input text. The text may include an author'"'"'s review of an item, such as a product or service. A computer-implemented opinion review component generates an analysis of the text, which is based on the identified opinion expressions. The opinion review component computes an effective opinion of the text as a function of a measure of polarity associated with the identified opinion expressions. A representation generator generates a representation of the analysis for display on an associated user interface. The representation of the analysis includes a representation of the effective opinion. In the case of a review, the authoring assistant may allow the author to modify the review to reduce incoherence with a rating of the item.

29. A method comprising:
-
extracting textual content from reviews in a corpus of reviews, each of the reviews including a rating; identifying a set of frequent nouns from the textual content of the reviews; extracting adjectival terms from the textual content of the reviews, each adjectival term being associated in the textual content with one of the frequent nouns; generating a polar vocabulary which includes at least some of the extracted adjectival terms, a measure of polarity being associated with each adjectival term in the polar vocabulary which is based on the ratings of the reviews from which the adjectival term was extracted; providing for parsing an input text to identify opinion expressions in the input text; providing for generating an analysis of the text, based on the identified opinion expressions including computing an effective opinion of the text as a function of a measure of polarity associated with each of the identified opinion expressions which is based on the measure of polarity associated with respective ones of the adjectival terms in respective ones of the opinion expressions; and generating a representation of the analysis for display on a user interface, the representation of the analysis including a representation of the effective opinion.
