Abstract

Techniques for providing sentiment-related content using sentiment and factor-based analysis of contextually-relevant user-generated data is described, including performing an analysis of a user-generated content to identify a factor associated with the user-generated content, generating a term using a keyword and the factor, and generating a pointer associated with the term and a web page associated with the pointer, the web page including other user-generated content associated with the term. In some examples, a request entered in a field is received and used to generate a web page including user-generated content in response to the request using a sentiment analysis of the user-generated content.

Claims

1. A method, comprising:

performing an analysis of a user-generated content to identify a factor associated with the user-generated content;

generating a term using a keyword and the factor; and

generating a pointer associated with the term and a web page associated with the pointer, the web page comprising other user-generated content associated with the term.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising extracting the keyword from the user-generated content.

3. The method of claim 1, further comprising receiving the keyword as input from a query field.

4. The method of claim 1, further comprising directing a browser to display the web page when an event is detected, the event comprising a selection of a link associated with the pointer.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the analysis comprises sentiment analysis.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the analysis is performed using natural language processing.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the user-generated content comprises a review.

8. The method of claim 4, wherein the other user-generated content comprises one or more other reviews.

9. A method, comprising:

receiving a request being entered in a field;

determining a term associated with the request, the term being generated using a sentiment analysis of user-generated content;

generating a web page comprising at least part of the user-generated content, the at least part of the user-generated content being associated with the term; and

directing a browser to display the web page in response to the request.

10. The method of claim 9, wherein the term comprises a sentiment expressed in the at least part of the user-generated content.

12. The method of claim 9, wherein the sentiment analysis uses natural language processing of the user-generated content.

13. The method of claim 9, wherein the user-generated content comprises one or more reviews.

14. The method of claim 9, wherein the term is generated using a keyword and a factor, the factor being identified by the sentiment analysis.

15. The method of claim 9, wherein the request comprises at least part of the term.

16. The method of claim 9, wherein the user-generated content is associated with one or more products.

17. A system, comprising:

a memory configured to store user-generated content;

a processor configured to receive a request being entered in a field, determine a term associated with the request, the term being generated using a sentiment analysis of user-generated content, generate a web page comprising at least part of the user-generated content, the at least part of the user-generated content being associated with the term, and direct a browser to display the web page in response to the request; and

a user interface configured to display the web page.

18. The system of claim 17, further comprising a sentiment analysis engine configured to perform the sentiment analysis of the user-generated content.

19. The system of claim 18, further comprising a database configured to store the term and other terms.

20. A computer program product embodied in a computer readable medium and comprising computer instructions for:

receiving a request being entered in a field;

determining a term associated with the request, the term being generated using a sentiment analysis of user-generated content;

generating a web page comprising at least part of the user-generated content, the at least part of the user-generated content being associated with the term; and

directing a browser to display the web page in response to the request.
