Abstract

User generated contents like reviews and comments contain both the information about a given product and also the opinions asserted by the user. With the surge in internet usage, there is a cascade of user generated data such a reviews and comments. People share their experiences, opinions, sentiments and emotions by writing reviews and comments for products they purchase online or after watching a movie, reading books etc. These user generated data contains emotion lexicons such as happiness, sadness, and surprise. Analysis of such emotion can provide a new aspect for recommending new items based on their emotional preferences. In this work, we extract the emotions from this user generated data using the lexical ontology, WordNet and information from the domain of psychology. These extracted emotions can be used for recommendations. Evaluation on emotion prediction further verifies the effectiveness of the proposed model in comparison to traditional rating based item similarity model. We further compare this with fuzziness in emotion features.
