The growth of E-commerce has led to the invention of several websites that market and sell products as well as allow users to post reviews. It is typical for an online buyer to refer to these reviews before making a buying decision. Hence, automatic summarization of users’ reviews has a great commercial significance. However, since the product reviews are written by nonexperts in an unstructured, natural language text, the task of summarizing them is challenging. This paper presents a semisupervised approach for mining online user reviews to generate comparative feature-based statistical summaries that can guide a user in making an online purchase. It includes various phases like preprocessing and feature extraction and pruning followed by feature-based opinion summarization and overall opinion sentiment classification. Empirical studies indicate that the approach used in the paper can identify opinionated sentences from blog reviews with a high average precision of 91% and can classify the polarity of the reviews with a good average accuracy of 86%.

This article describes how e-commerce has become so vast that almost every product and service can be purchased online, to be delivered at our doorsteps. This has led to a striking increase in the number of online customers. In an attempt to make the online shopping more appealing and transparent to the online customers, the e-retailers allow their customers to express their opinion about the purchased products and services. Recently, analysis of such online reviews has become an active topic of research. This is because it is of immense concern to various stakeholders vs. online merchants, potential customers and the manufacturers of the particular product or service providers. The present article addresses the problem of summarization of such opinions expressed online and aims to create an organized feature-based summary as a solution. The proposed system depends on the frequency of occurrences of the potential features. A number of pruning methods are applied in order to obtain the final feature set and sentiment analysis has been done for each such feature.

Race identification is an essential ability for human eyes. Race classification by machine based on face image can be used in some practical application fields. Employing holistic face analysis, local feature extraction and 3D model, many race classification methods have been introduced. In this paper, we propose a novel fusion feature based on periocular region features for classifying East Asian from Caucasian. With the periocular region landmarks, we extract five local textures or geometrical features in some interesting regions which contain available discriminating race information. And then, these effective features are fused into a remarkable feature by Adaboost training. On the composed OFD-FERET face database, our method gets perfect performance on average accuracy rate. Meanwhile, we do a plenty of additional experiments to discuss the effect on the performance caused by gender, landmark detection, glasses and image size.
