We describe the application of the prototype system to a database of car reviews. Pulse enables the exploration of large quantities of customer free text. The user can examine customer opinion "at a glance" or explore the data at a finer level of detail. We describe a simple but effective technique for clustering sentences, the application of a bootstrapping approach to sentiment classification, and a novel user-interface.}, publisher = {Springer-Verlag}, url = {http://approjects.co.za/?big=en-us/research/publication/pulse-mining-customer-opinions-from-free-text/}, pages = {121-132}, volume = {3646}, edition = {Proceedings of IDA-05, the 6th International Symposium on Intelligent Data Analysis}, }
