Abstract:

The emergence of big data leads to an increasing demand for data processing methods. As the most influential media for Chinese domestic movie ratings, Douban contains a huge amount of data and one can understand users’ perspectives towards these movies by analyzing these data. In this article, we study movie’s critics from the Douban website, perform sentiment analysis on the data obtained by crawling, and visualize the results with a word cloud. We propose a lightweight sentiment analysis method which is free from heavy training and visualize the results in a more conceivable way.

Key words: web crawler, microblog, text sentiment analysis, word cloud
