An opinion mining technique which was developed from document classification in area of data mining now becomes a common interest in domestic as well as international industries. The core of opinion mining is to decide precisely whether an opinion document is a positive or negative one. Although many related approaches have been previously proposed, a classification accuracy was not satisfiable enough to applying them in practical applications. A opinion documents written in Korean are not easy to determine a polarity automatically because they often include various and ungrammatical words in expressing subjective opinions. Proposed in this paper is a new approach of classification of opinion documents, which considers only a frequency of word patterns and excludes the grammatical factors as much as possible. In proposed method, we express a document into a bag of words and then apply a learning algorithm using a frequency of word patterns, and finally decide the polarity of the document using a score function. Additionally, we also present the experiment results for evaluating the accuracy of the proposed method.

In this paper, we present a system that classifies comments on a news article into a user opinion called a polarity (positive or negative). The system is a kind of document classification system for comments and is based on machine learning techniques like support vector machine. Unlike normal documents, comments have their body that can influence classifying their opinions as polarities. In this paper, we propose a feature weighting scheme using such characteristics of comments and several resources for opinion classification. Through our experiments, the weighting scheme have turned out to be useful for opinion classification in comments on Korean news articles. Also Korean character n-grams (bigram or trigram) have been revealed to be helpful for opinion classification in comments including lots of Internet words or typos. In the future, we will apply this scheme to opinion analysis of comments of product reviews as well as news articles.

People who want to search for information on the Internet find it inconvenient to visit each website. This paper focuses on the opinion information extraction and analysis system through Web mining that is based on statistics collected from Web contents. That is, users' opinion information which is scattered across several websites can be automatically analyzed and extracted. The system provides the opinion information search service that enables users to search for real-time positive and negative opinions and check their statistics. Also, users can do real-time search and monitoring about other opinion information by putting keywords in the system. Proposed technologies proved to have outstanding capabilities in comparison to existing ones through tests. The capabilities to extract positive and negative opinion information were assessed.

This study examined how the meaning of news stories covering the split of national opinion was constructed in the media to represent social conflicts. To clarify the function of the term 'split of national opinion' as an ultimate term, this study examined the meaning of the term in the context of both text and society. Ten newspapers were included in the content analysis. The frequency of words used for the purpose of metaphor and equivalent in describing the split of national opinion was calculated to determine their meaning in the textual context. The frequency of incidents and subjects involved in allegedly causing the split of national opinion was calculated to determine their meaning in the social context. The results of this study are summarized as follows: First, the term 'split of national opinion' was coined by the newspapers as a metaphor of disease, disaster, and cost. The attitudes or the ways in which the split of national opinion was dealt with were generally negative and passive. Second, the term 'split of national opinion' was dealt with an equivalent status of such terms as national policy, national loss, societal problems, and ideology. Third, each newspaper reported that the split of national opinion had been caused by certain subjects, which indicates that each newspaper had its own position of viewing who was the key player in splitting the national opinion. The implication was also discussed that the use of the ultimate term would incur the unbalance of power between participants and the existing players, which would make individuals or groups who were involved in the social actions excluded and make the newspapers exercise the rhetorical power as news media.
