  4. too many to read too much to analyze Star Ratings? Reviews Customer opinions of features. My Job • Extract useful information from customer reviews Quantitatively expressed

  5. opinion mining Reviews Customer opinions of features The tasks • Extract product features from reviews • Extract opinions about features • Show them to users (Part 2)
