Popis: On modern e-commerce sites, textual reviews are rich in sentiment and opinions about a product, in particular, its specific attributes. Product ontologies, consisting of a taxonomic categorization of lists of such attributes and product types, are useful for a wide range of applications, such as opinion mining and sentiment analysis. Unfortunately, with a paucity of fine-grained hierarchical categorization of products, many smaller sites feature only coarse high-level categories. We present the Iterative Bootstrapping Process (IBP), an unsupervised learning method for such fine-grained hierarchical categorization of products using coarse categories from Chinese product textual reviews. Results show that our model can extract useful product attributes and still can achieve a high accuracy on the task for categorizing unseen products.
