Review Spotlight: A User Interface for Summerizing User-Generated Reviews Using Adjective-Noun Word Pairs

by Koji Yatani, Michael Novati, Andrew Trusty and Khai N. Truong

This is an interesting HCI paper on showing interviews in the form of adj.+ n. form. The sentiment analysis shows the positiveness and negativeness of each mined structure, which renders the color of the phrases. The sizes can be determined by the popularity of the phrases. The interface helps the user get better impression on the product of interest. The layout of the phrases are not very important. When the mouse hovers the selected phrases, the corresponding reviews will be listed (maybe with a smart summary?).

In a way, this interface has similarity in word/tag clouds but do has very reasonably advantageous edges. Shall we implement one for some projects?
