Customer product review summarization over time for competitive intelligence

Nowadays, Customer’s product reviews can be widely found on the Web, be it in personal blogs, forums, or ecommerce websites. They contain important products’ information and therefore became a new data source for competitive intelligence. On that account, these reviews need to be analyzed and summarized in order to help the leader of an entity (company, brand, etc.) to make appropriate decisions in an efective way. However, most previous review summarization studies focus on summarizing sentiment distribution toward different product features without taking into account that the real advantages and disadvantages of a product clarify over time. For this reason, in this work we aim to propose a new system for product opinion summarization which depends on the time when reviews are expressed and that covers the sentiments change about product features. The proposed system firstly, generates a summary based on product features in order to give more accurate and efficient information about different features. secondly, classify the product based on its features in its appropriate class (good, medium or bad product) using a fuzzy logic system. The experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed system to generate the real image of a product and its features in reviews
