before_revision:  We present ExplainIt, a review summarization system centered around opinion explainability: the simple notion of high-level opinions (e.g. "noisy room") being explainable by lower-level ones (e.g., "loud fridge"). ExplainIt utilizes a combination of supervised and unsupervised components to mine the opinion phrasesfrom reviews URLanize them in an Opinion Causality Graph (OCG), a novel semi-structured representation which summarizes causal relations. To construct an OCG, we cluster semantically similar opinions in single nodes, thus canonicalizing opinion paraphrases, and draw directed edges between node pairs that are likely connected by a causal relation. OCGs can be used to generate structured summaries at different levels of granularity and for certain aspects of interest, while simultaneously providing explanations . In this paper, we present the system's individual components and evaluate their effectiveness on their respective sub-tasks, where we report substantial improvements over baselines across two domains. Finally, we validate these results with a user study, showing that ExplainIt produces reasonable opinion explanations according to human judges .
after_revision: The Web is a major resource of both factual and subjective information. While there are significant efforts URLanize factual information into knowledge bases, there is much less work URLanizing opinions, which are abundant in subjective data, into a structured format. We present ExplainIt, a system that extracts URLanizes opinions into an opinion graph, which are useful for downstream applications such as generating explainable review summaries and facilitating search over opinion phrases. In such graphs, a node represents a set of semantically similar opinions extracted from reviews and an edge between two nodes signifies that one node explains the other. ExplainIt mines explanations in a supervised method and groups similar opinions together in a weakly supervised way before combining the clusters of opinions together with their explanation relationships into an opinion graph. We experimentally demonstrate that the explanation relationships generated in the opinion graph are of good quality and our labeled datasets for explanation mining and grouping opinions are publicly available .
