A Surrogate-based Generic Classifier for Chinese TV Series Reviews
This work addresses a domain-specific need for viewers and producers in online video platforms, but it is incremental as it applies existing methods to new data.
The paper tackled the problem of automatically classifying Chinese TV series reviews into eight predefined categories, achieving promising performance and generalization across different series.
With the emerging of various online video platforms like Youtube, Youku and LeTV, online TV series' reviews become more and more important both for viewers and producers. Customers rely heavily on these reviews before selecting TV series, while producers use them to improve the quality. As a result, automatically classifying reviews according to different requirements evolves as a popular research topic and is essential in our daily life. In this paper, we focused on reviews of hot TV series in China and successfully trained generic classifiers based on eight predefined categories. The experimental results showed promising performance and effectiveness of its generalization to different TV series.
