- Title: Context-aware Helpfulness Prediction for Online Product Reviews
- Authors: Iyiola E. Olatunji, Xin Li, Wai Lam
- Abstract summary: We propose a neural deep learning model that predicts the helpfulness score of a review.
This model is based on convolutional neural network (CNN) and a context-aware encoding mechanism.
We validated our model on human annotated dataset and the result shows that our model significantly outperforms existing models for helpfulness prediction.

- Abstract: Modeling and prediction of review helpfulness has become more predominant due
to proliferation of e-commerce websites and online shops. Since the
functionality of a product cannot be tested before buying, people often rely on
different kinds of user reviews to decide whether or not to buy a product.
However, quality reviews might be buried deep in the heap of a large amount of
reviews. Therefore, recommending reviews to customers based on the review
quality is of the essence. Since there is no direct indication of review
quality, most reviews use the information that ''X out of Y'' users found the
review helpful for obtaining the review quality. However, this approach
undermines helpfulness prediction because not all reviews have statistically
abundant votes. In this paper, we propose a neural deep learning model that
predicts the helpfulness score of a review. This model is based on
convolutional neural network (CNN) and a context-aware encoding mechanism which
can directly capture relationships between words irrespective of their distance
in a long sequence. We validated our model on human annotated dataset and the
result shows that our model significantly outperforms existing models for
helpfulness prediction.

Existing methods for identifying helpful reviews primarily focus on review text and ignore the two key factors of (1) who post the reviews and (2) when the reviews are posted.
We introduce a dataset and develop a model that integrates the reviewer's expertise, derived from the past review history, and the temporal dynamics of the reviews to automatically assess review helpfulness.

We propose a Sentiment-aware Interactive Fusion Network (SIFN) for review-based item recommendation.
We first encode user/item reviews via BERT and propose a light-weighted sentiment learner to extract semantic features of each review.
Then, we propose a sentiment prediction task that guides the sentiment learner to extract sentiment-aware features via explicit sentiment labels.

We discuss the possibility of using state-of-the-art natural language processing (NLP) models to generate first-pass peer reviews for scientific papers.
We collect a dataset of papers in the machine learning domain, annotate them with different aspects of content covered in each review, and train targeted summarization models that take in papers to generate reviews.
Comprehensive experimental results show that system-generated reviews tend to touch upon more aspects of the paper than human-written reviews.
