This document proposes a novel text visualization framework called Concept Cloud-based Sentiment Visualization (CCSV) to summarize financial reviews. CCSV extracts word-level and concept-level sentiment scores from reviews and visualizes them using word clouds. It extracts word-level sentiment scores using Layer-wise Representation Propagation with an RNN model to consider contextual sentiment shifts. It then clusters words into concepts and calculates concept-level sentiment scores. Experimental evaluation shows CCSV outperforms other methods at accurately assigning original and contextual sentiment scores. CCSV provides a concise visualization of review sentiment useful for investment decision making.
