Abstract

This paper presents a method of ontology-based sentiment classification to classify and analyse online product reviews of consumers. We implement and experiment with a support vector machines text classification approach based on a lexical variable ontology. After testing, it could be demonstrated that the proposed method can provide more effectiveness for sentiment classification based on text content.
