A Conceptual Framework for Leveraging Web Data in Sentiment Analysis and Opinion Mining

Abstract

This paper introduces a comprehensive conceptual framework designed to enhance sentiment analysis and opinion mining by utilizing diverse web data sources. The framework integrates advanced computational techniques with innovative data harvesting methodologies to extract, process, and analyse sentiment data from various online platforms, including social media, forums, and blogs. At its core, the framework employs a hybrid model combining machine learning algorithms and natural language processing tools to accurately detect and interpret the sentiments and opinions embedded in unstructured web content. We discuss the implementation of sentiment-specific data crawlers and the use of sentiment ontologies that help in refining the accuracy of sentiment detection. The paper also explores the challenges of handling large-scale web data, and the dynamic nature of online content. We demonstrate the framework's application through case studies in different industry sectors, showing its effectiveness in providing actionable insights. Our results indicate significant improvements in sentiment detection accuracy and efficiency, validating the framework's potential as a robust tool in the fields of various segment.
