Abstract：With the great development of e-commerce, the product review mining has recently received a lot of attention. In product reviews, people often use different words and phrases to describe the same product feature, which are necessary to be recognized as synonyms for effective opinion summary. In this paper, we first calculate the similarity of product features. Then the must-link and cannot-link constraints are exacted based on the analysis of product reviews. Finally, the constrained hierarchical clustering algorithm and the extracted constraints are applied to recognize product feature synonyms. Experiments on diverse real-life datasets show promising results.
