• Abstract: Food reviews and recommendations have always been important for online food service websites. However, reviewing and recommending food is not simple as it is likely to be overwhelmed by disparate contexts and meanings. In this paper, we use different deep learning approaches to address the problems of sentiment analysis, automatic review tag generation, and retrieval of food reviews. We propose to develop a web-based food review system at Nanyang Technological University (NTU) named NTU Food Hunter, which incorporates different deep learning approaches that help users with food selection. First, we implement the BERT and LSTM deep learning models into the system for sentiment analysis of food reviews. Then, we develop a Part-of-Speech (POS) algorithm to automatically identify and extract adjective-noun pairs from the review content for review tag generation based on POS tagging and dependency parsing. Finally, we also train a RankNet model for the re-ranking of the retrieval results to improve the accuracy in our Solr-based food reviews search system. The experimental results show that our proposed deep learning approaches are promising for the applications of real-world problems.

Then, we propose a sentiment prediction task that guides the sentiment learner to extract sentiment-aware features via explicit sentiment labels.
