Abstract

In this paper we propose a probabilistic graph model to estimate the importance weights of product attributes from customer reviews. In this model, each product aspect has two weights: one weight indicates its importance level when customers’ opinions about the product are generally positive; the other one indicates its importance level when the opinions are negative. Those weights provide on-line retailers with insight into the advantages and disadvantages of their products and allow them to devise effective methods to increase on-line sales.
