Several approaches have been employed for this task, which can be broadly divided into two major categories: supervised and unsupervised. The supervised approaches require training data, which need manual work and are mostly domain dependent. The unsupervised technique is most popularly used due to its two main advantages: domain independent and no need for training data. This study presents a review of the state of the art unsupervised approaches for opinion target identification due to its potential applications in opinion mining from web documents. This study compares the existing approaches that might be helpful in the future research work of opinion mining and features extraction. © Maxwell Scientific Organization, 2014. date: 2014 publisher: Maxwell Science Publications official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84899065149&doi=10.19026%2frjaset.7.543&partnerID=40&md5=aa1b1290b2fda68bdb13b89f189c243d id_number: 10.19026/rjaset.7.543 full_text_status: none publication: Research Journal of Applied Sciences, Engineering and Technology volume: 7 number: 12 pagerange: 2400-2410 refereed: TRUE issn: 20407459 citation: Khan, K. and Baharudin, B. and Khan, A.
