- Project Description
- The project focused on mathematical and computer technology involved in building various kinds of
unsupervised information extraction systems that can be used to mine the web for the purpose of product and feature evaluation.
- Conclusions & Results
- New methods and algorithms were developed and code was written that utilized unsupervised learning methods
in conjunction with clustering data mining techniques that would respond to a consumer query to reveal the web consensus about the important aspects
and features of products/articles included in the query. Details are given in the
final report.
