Date

Sajid Siraj presented "Extracting pairwise comparisons information from textual data using opinion mining" at the 30th European Conference on Operational Research (EURO 2019), on 23rd - 26th June, in Dublin. Abstract below:

With the emergence of big data, there is a huge amount of decision-making related information available which is still untapped due to the fact that this information is stored in unstructured formats like free text, audio recordings, etc. With the help of opinion mining tools and techniques, our aim is to extract this information and convert it into a usable format. As a first step, we focus on identifying comparative statements collected from online reviews and blogs. We consider this a novel area of research with a number of useful applications in prescriptive and descriptive research related to decision making.
