Abstract

In this study, four opinion summarization styles were compared under an experimental environment. Thirty four participants sorted thirty two cards into five usefulness categories. Every eight cards belong to one presentation style. It was found that the users spent the shortest time on cards in “not at all useful” category. The time of viewing “extremely useful” cards was also shorter than that of “somewhat useful”, “useful”, and “very useful” cards. This result can be explained with the components of the usefulness categories. Tag clouds and Aspect oriented sentiments needed less time to view. They are the major styles in “not at all useful” and “extremely useful”. Paragraph summaries and Group samples requested more time and they took at least 50% in “somewhat useful”, “useful”, and “very useful”. The findings are consistent with our previous results.
