Abstract

An experimental analysis of a combination of Opinion Mining and Collaborative Filtering algorithms is presented. The analysis used the Yelp dataset in order to have both the textual reviews and the star ratings provided by the users. The Opinion Mining algorithm was used to work on the textual reviews, while the Collaborative Filtering worked on the star ratings. The research activity carried out shows that most of the Yelp users provided star ratings corresponding to the related textual review, but in many cases an inconsistence was evident. A set of thresholds and coefficients were applied in order to test a hypothesis about the influence of restaurant popularity on the user ratings. Interesting results have been obtained in terms of Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE).
