ABSTRACT- As e-commerce is becoming in merge the number of
customer reviews on the product grows rapidly. In order to
enhance customer satisfaction in online shopping the product
developer make convince to express their opinion of the product
in online shopping. Due to the growth of the web opinions this is
almost found everywhere-blogs, social networking sites like
Facebook, Twitter, news portals, e-commerce sites, etc. For every
latest product number of reviews about the product are in
hundreds and thousands. People will give their opinions about
products for example. Customer (people) once they bought the
product and then they will express their suggestions on product
features in various forums. This makes the customer feel difficult
to review all the comments given by other customer. It makes
also difficult to the product manufacturer to mine all the reviews
posted by the customer. So we use technique called word
alignment model to mine the opinions in online reviews.
Keywords:Opinion word, Opinion target, Word alignment model,
Natural language processing

INTRODUCTION
Opinion is a Natural Language Processing,
text analysis and computing linguistics to analyse
and extract subjective information in source
materials. It is a set of text document that have
opinions on an item. Opinion mining determines to
identify attributes of the thing on which opinion
have been given in each of the document and to
find orientation of the comments, whether the
comments are positive are negative. Opinion
mining builds a systematic way to collect and
categories opinion about the product. It can help the
marketer to evaluate the success of a product. By
doing so customers can able to view other product
reviews and decide which product to buy by the
help of opinions of other customers. With more
common users are becoming comfortable with
internet numerous people are writing reviews. So
reviews become about popular products are large at
merchant sites. This is hard to read all the reviews
by the customer who is going to purchase the
product.

LITERATURE SURVEY
A Mining and summarizing customer reviews
This paper explains about collecting reviews
from online and store it in the database and
analysing the reviews whether the given review is
positive, negative or neutral then finally it produce
the cumulative reviews about the product.
B Extracting and ranking product features in
opinion Documents
This paper focuses on ranking features. The
main task of opinion mining is to extract people’s
opinion feature of an entity. Double propagation is
the state-of the-art technique to solve the problem.
It mainly extracts noun features and works well for
medium size corpa. HITS is used to find important
features and ranking. The foremost advantage of
this method is that it requires no additional
resources except an initial seed opinion lexicon,
which is available.
C Building Sentiment summarizer for local service
Reviews
This paper explains about aspect based
summarizer algorithm. This is also like mining and
summarizing customer reviews. Collection reviews
from online and storing it in the database and
segregating the reviews as subject, objective and
phrase. And finally summarizing about the product.

The main approach of this paper semi
supervised algorithm which is widely used in IBM
models with EM algorithm.
E Opinion Target Extraction Using Word Based
Alignment Model
This paper explains about the Opinion target
that is nothing but the object about which opinion
is given and opinion word is that which will
express the user opinion. For example "screen"
and "LCD resolution" are considered as opinion
targets and "colourful" "big" and "disappointing"
are regarded as opinion words.
"This phone has a bright and big screen,
But LCD resolution is very disappointing."
F Opinion Word Expansion and Target Extraction
through Double Propagation
This paper focuses the list of opinion words.
The initial idea of this paper is to extract opinion
words iteratively using opinion words and opinion
targets through opinion relations. As this approach
propagates the information back and forth between
the opinion words and opinion targets, so it is called
double propagation.
There are four subtasks in propagation
1. Extracting targets using opinion words.
2. Extracting targets using extracting words
3. Extracting opinion words using extracting
targets.
4. Extracting opinion words using the given
words and the extracted words.

OPINION MINING TOOLS
A WEKA
Weka is a machine learning algorithm for
data mining tasks. The algorithm can either be
applied directly to dataset or can be called from our
own java code. Weka contains tools for data preprocessing and Regression.
B NLTK
If you know programming in python and
NLTK is a smart choice. Other than this you can
easily make use of lexical resources like Word Net
often required in sentiment analysis.
C GATE
Useful if we need to develop a pipeline .If
we have a new approach we can write a customized
module in JAVA and plug into the pipeline and a
complete system will be available.
D ORANGE
Orange is an open source data visualization
and analysis tool. The tool has component for
machine learning.
E R-PROGRAMMING
`R is a programming language and software
environment for statistical computing and graphics
supported by the R Foundation for Statistical
Computing. The R language is widely used among
data miners for developing statistical software and
data analysis.

WORD ALIGNMENT MODEL
Word alignment model is a Natural
Language Processing Word alignment used in most
statistical machine translation. The task of
identifying translation relationships among the
words in bilingual text, resulting in a bipartite graph
between the two sides of the bitext with an arc
between two words if and only if they are
translations of one another. Word alignment is
usually done after sentence alignment.

PARTIALLY
SUPERVISED
WORD
ALIGNMENT MODEL:
Word alignment model technique is used in
various natural language processing applications,
and statistical machine translation systems and
word alignment as a pre-processing step. The most
widely used tools is GIZA++. The word alignment
quality is unsatisfactory among the people so that
move on to partially supervised word alignment
model. The aim of partial supervised alignment
model is to improve the accuracy of the automated

word alignment model. Partial alignments obtained
from various sources. By simple heuristics we can
obtain partial alignment from different sources. In
some other cases there may be a possible for Oneto-one and one-to-many word alignment can be
occurred in manual alignment. Every sentence,
there may be a chance to have more than one
aligned target word. Usually in the reviews nouns /
noun phrases and adjectives are product features
In review sentences. Data and reviews from
websites are collection of sentences or text.
Removing Special Characters, stop words and also
opinion relations are identified between the words.
All nouns/noun phrases in sentences are opinion
target or about product features. In word alignment
model there are some constraints are there,
1. Verbs/Adjective words should be aligned with
verb/adjective words
2. Null word means that it’s not a modifiers or it
modifies nothing.
3. Conjunctions, prepositions, and adverbs, can
align themselves

C. OPINION TARGET AND OPINION WORDS:
Sentiment analysis is extension of data
mining and it uses natural language processing
technique to extract people’s opinion from World
Wide Web. Nowadays internet provides huge
platform to contribute people’s opinion and
suggestion to collect valuable information in the
web. Opinion mining that analyse the each text
that has been given by the user whether the
opinionated word is positive or negative or
neutral. This is achieved by sentimental analysis it
has three levels. The levels are document level,
sentence level and document level.
An opinion target can find its corresponding
modifier through word alignment Consider the
figure.1. In this example bright, big and good this
words are modifier that are matched with screen
by using word alignment model. And also better
and disappointing can be matched with resolution.
Here the attributes of a product that are modifiers
are called as opinion words and screen and
resolution these are all called opinion target. An
opinion target can find its corresponding modifier
through word alignment Consider the figure.1. In
this example bright, big and good this words are
modifier that are matched with screen by using
word alignment model. And also better and
disappointing can be matched with resolution.
Here the attributes of a product that are modifiers
are called as opinion words and screen and
resolution these are all called opinion target. Here
the attributes of a product that are modifiers are
called as opinion words and screen and resolution
these are all called opinion target.
D ACTIVE LEARNING METHOD:
Active learning is one of the methods
used to feed the information to the machine or
teach the machine for aligning the opinion words
and opinion target according to the reviews. And
the machine will compare the each every reviews
with other. In opinion mining the positive and
negative reviews will be separated after that use
hill-climbing algorithm to give the relation
between the opinion target and opinion words.
Consider the online mobile shopping example, in
the beginning itself the attributes, features are
feed to the machine if the customer gives the
reviews it will align according to the reviews.
E TOPICAL RELATION:
The topical knowledge carried out the
relations among the opinion word and opinion
targets. It is very useful in information extraction,
question-answering or for automatic summarizing
to define what must be extracted from a text
according to the current task. In this paper we use
a WorldNet 2.0 It is like a dictionary available in
online. It will give the relationship among the
words. It is like a extraction of relationship
between the words.
VI ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES
OF OPINION MINING:
The main advantage of opinion mining is
to give crisp and short decision about a product or
text or tweet. This will helps to make good
decision. If a customer wants to buy a product
through online then customer need not go through
all the reviews. The opinion mining will helps to
give over all summaries about the product. At
particular time we can see the reviews of more
than one product. Consider the twitter post its has
n number of post at the time we can analyse or
predict the useful information from the post by
using opinion mining.
Disadvantages in opinion mining is
reviews may be fake or not related to the
particular product. And also the unwanted or
irrelevant reviews may occurs by using that
reviews we cannot conclude the summary. From
twitter we can have unwanted post these are all
the disadvantages of opinion mining. To
overcome this we have method called preprocessing by using that we can eliminate or omit
the irrelevant data or reviews.

In this review paper we did the study
about existing opinion words and opinion target
system. Previously existed system faced problem
such as, they uses nearest-neighbour rules for
nearest adjective or verb to a noun phrase as a
result they cannot obtained the precise or accurate
results. According to their dependency relations
to collect several information. And the word
alignment model has a problem of aligning each
and every adjective or modifier to each other. To
overcome these problem we move on to the
partially supervised word alignment, active
learning and topical relation. In this paper. They
focused on dynamic pages or dynamic reviews. It
is focused on detecting opinion relations between
opinion targets and opinion words. The above
methods are used to effectively extracted relations
between the opinion target and opinion word. A
graph co-ranking algorithm to obtain the
confidence of each candidate. According to our
analysis in this study detecting relation between
opinion targets and opinion words can accurately
produce the summary of a product are a post.
