Consumer review analysis is important for product development, customer satisfaction, competitive advantage, and effective marketing. Increased use of wireless earphones is expected to reach $45.7 billion by 2026 with growth in lifestyle. Therefore, in consideration of the growth and importance of the market, consumer reviews of wireless earphones from Apple and Samsung were analyzed. In this study, 11,320 wireless earphone reviews from Apple and Samsung sold on Coupang were collected to analyze consumers' purchase intentions and analyze consumer satisfaction through analysis of the frequency, sensitivity, and LDA topic model of text mining. As a result of topic modeling, 16 topics were derived and classified into sound quality, connection, shopping mall service, purchase intention, battery, delivery, and price. As a result of brand comparison, Samsung purchased a lot for gift purposes, had a high positive sentiment for price, and Apple had a high positive sentiment for battery, sound quality, connection, service, and delivery. The results of this study can be used as data for related industries as a result of research that can obtain improvements and insights on customer satisfaction, quality and market trends, including manufacturing, retail, marketers, and consumers.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between consumer reviews and managerial responses, aiming to explore the necessity of webcare for efficiently managing consumer reviews. We intend to propose a methodology for effective webcare and to construct a webcare model using machine learning techniques based on an audiobook platform. In this study, we selected four audiobook platforms and conducted data collection and preprocessing for consumer reviews and managerial responses. We utilized techniques such as topic modeling, topic inconsistency analysis, and DBSCAN, along with various machine learning methods for analysis. The experimental results yielded significant findings in clustering managerial responses and predicting responses to consumer reviews, proposing an efficient methodology considering resource constraints and costs. This research provides academic insights by constructing a webcare model through machine learning techniques and practical implications by suggesting an efficient methodology, considering the limited resources and personnel of companies. The proposed webcare model in this study can be utilized as strategic foundational data for consumer engagement and providing useful information, offering both personalized responses and standardized managerial responses.

Since a movie is an experience goods, purchase can be decided upon preliminary information and evaluation. There are ongoing researches on what impact online reviews might have on movie revenues. Whereas research in the past was focused on the effect of online reviews. The influence of online reviews appears to be significant in products like a movie because it is difficult to evaluate the feature prior to "consuming" the product. Since an online review is regarded to be objective, consumers find it more trustworthy. Contrary to prior research focused on movie review ratings and volume, we focus moves on movie features related specific reviews. This research proposes a predictive model for movie revenue generation. We decided 15 criteria to classify movie features collected from online reviews through the online review mining and made up feature keyword list each criterion. In addition, we performed data preprocessing and dimensional reduction for data mining through factor analysis. We suggest the movie revenue predictive model is tested using discriminant analysis. Following the discriminant analysis, we found that online review factors can be used to predict movie popularity and revenue stream. We also expect using this predictive model, marketers and strategic decision makers can allocate their resources in more parsimonious fashion.

People increasingly rely on sources of information from E-commerce reviews. Product reviews is an important determinant of potential customers' buying choices. They are also utilized by product manufacturers to find problems of their products and to collect competitive intelligence information about their competitors. Unfortunately, it is well-known that many online product reviews are not made by genuine costumers of products. Reviewers could write some undeserving positive reviews to promote or fake negative reviews to defame some certain product, and we call them fake product reviews. Fake product review detection makes an attempt to detect fake reviews and removes them to restore the truthful ones for readers. To the best of our knowledge, there is still less published study on this problem. In this paper, we make a survey and an attempt to give a brief overview on fake product review detection. The related work of fake product review detection is presented including web spam and spam email. Then some methods to detect fake reviews are introduced and summarized. The trend of fake product review detection is concluded finally.

Online reviews are useful for other consumers to make reasonable purchase decisions by providing previous buyers' experiences. However, when online reviewers are biased, online reviews do not accurately reflect the true quality of the product. Therefore, we investigated the characteristics of reviewers with underreporting bias to cope with the problem of declining reliability of online reviews. In this context, this study attempted to examine the characteristics of reviewers with underreporting bias using 14,165 reviews of Steam, an online game platform. As a result of the analysis, reviewers with underreporting bias mainly write reviews positively, write reviews within a short period from the game release date, but tend to write reviews after playing games for longer time, and write reviews when purchasing high-priced games. Since this study has explored the characteristics of reviewers showing underreporting bias, it will be meaningful as a basic study to cope with the problem caused by underreporting bias.

In this paper, we propose an analysis scheme of customer spending pattern using text mining. In proposed consumption pattern analysis scheme, first we analyze user's rating similarity using Pearson correlation, second we analyze user's review similarity using TF-IDF cosine similarity, third we analyze the consistency of the rating and review using Sendiwordnet. And we select the nearest neighbors using rating similarity and review similarity, and provide the recommended list that is proper with consumption pattern. The precision of recommended list are 0.79 for the Pearson correlation, 0.73 for the TF-IDF, and 0.82 for the proposed consumption pattern. That is, the proposed consumption pattern analysis scheme can more accurately analyze consumption pattern because it uses both quantitative rating and qualitative reviews of consumers.

Online reviews we encounter commonly on SNS, although a complex range of assessment information affecting the consumer's preferences are included, it is general that such information is just provided by simple numbers or star ratings. Based on those review types, it is not easy to get specific information that consumers want and use it to make a decision for purchase. Therefore, in this study, we propose a prediction methodology that can provide ratings broken down by evaluation items by performing sentiment analysis on restaurant reviews written in Korean. To this end, we select 'food', 'price', 'service', and 'atmosphere' as the main evaluation items of restaurants, and build a new sentiment dictionary for each evaluation item. It also classifies review sentences by rating item, predicts granular ratings through sentiment analysis, and provides additional information that consumers can use to make decisions. Finally, using MAE and RMSE as evaluation indicators it shows that the rating prediction accuracy of the proposed methodology has been improved than previous studies and presents the use case of proposed methodology.

With the development and use of smart devices such as smartphones and tablets increases, the mobile application market based on mobile devices is growing rapidly. Mobile application users write reviews to share their experience in using the application, which can identify consumers' various needs and application developers can receive useful feedback on improving the application through reviews written by consumers. However, there is a need to come up with measures to minimize the amount of time and expense that consumers have to pay to manually analyze the large amount of reviews they leave. In this work, we propose to collect delivery application user reviews from Google PlayStore and then use machine learning and deep learning techniques to classify them into four categories like application feature advantages, disadvantages, feature improvement requests and bug report. In the case of the performance of the Hugging Face's pretrained BERT-based Transformer model, the f1 score values for the above four categories were 0.93, 0.51, 0.76, and 0.83, respectively, showing superior performance than LSTM and GRU.
