Abstract

User reviews on the web are an important source of opinions on products and services. For a popular product or service, the number of reviews can be large. Therefore, it may be difficult for a potential customer to read all of them and make a decision. We hypothesize and test if lived experiences from reviews may support the confidence of a user in a review. We identify and extract such lived experiences with a novel technique based on machine reading. Our experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the technique.
