Time Density Plots

Feature-Based Visual Sentiment Analysis of Text Document Streams

Data Used?

• Two diffrent Types of Data
• missing limited topic coverage
  • Web Surveys (50,000 Surveys)
    • all possible complaints ( purchase, delivery, product )
    • comment on features in detailed way
    • Cutomer Web survey
  • Rss News Items (16,000 items)
    • real-time distribution, repostings
    • no specific feature to indentify
    • explore spread of Opinion and reasons
    • 50 Presidential Election feeds

Analysis Technique

• no domain-dependant sentiment word list
  • rely on very general sentiment words
• Linguistic Preprocessing
• Feature Extraction
• Sentiment Word Detection
• Sentiment-to-Feature Mapping (Hybrid approach)
  • manually defined syntactic reference patterns
  • paired with typed-dependency parsers
  • modified distance-based mapping
  • awareness of uncertainty (not precise vs. guide user)

Visualization Technique

• Pixel Map Calendars - ( scatterplot )
  • display overall data distribution
  • one pixel represents one document
  • pixel ploted in bins - color encodes overall sentiment
  • axes of bin can have different time unit

• Time Density Plots
  • Sequential Sentiment Track - ( rectangular bars )
    • preserve temporal order
    • whitespace reduction - no overplotting
    • certainty encode in bar height
  • Time Density Track - ( Area Graph )
    • height of curved determinated by distance of two time stamps
    • high curves indicates max. Level of Interesst
