MARC 3.0 is the third release of our Mobile Application Review Classifier MARC. MARC 3.0 provides functionality for automatically classifying and summarizing user reviews on mobile application stores, an enhanced data classification engine, and a new GUI.
MARC 3.0 provides multiple data summarization algorithms that can be used to generate concise and comprehensive summaries of user reviews. These algorithms include Hybrid TF, Hybrid TFIDF, SumBasic, and LexRank.
The current release of MARC supports a new functionality to extract Non-Functional Requirements (NFRs) from user reviews. The reviews are classified into four major NFR classes: Dependability, Performance, Supportability, and Usability. The classification is achieved in two steps: 1) Reviews carrying NFR information are first isolated using binary classification, and 2) Dictionary Matching is used to classify user reviews into the four different NFR categories. Users have the option to select their own training dataset and customize the classification dictionary.
Please make sure that the custom training file and dictionary file match the format provided in the source code. The custom files must be added to the folder: C:/Users/name/AppData/Roaming/MARC 3.0/InputData/TrainingDataset"

MARC requires .Net 4.5.2 and Java 1.8 to run. MARC can be installed by running the installer from the directory: MARC Installer -> Debug -> MARC 3.0 Installer.msi
MARC provides default training datasets in the local app data installation directory (C:/Users/name/AppData/Roaming/MARC 3.0/InputData/TrainingDataset). You can either edit this training dataset or use one of your own. However, please make sure that the training dataset you use follows the same format as the default training dataset.
In order to open and modify the C# source project you will need Visual Studio 2015, FreeCommunity Edition .Net 4.5.2. Once you have loaded the project open MARC 3.0.sln in src directory in Visual Studio and select MARC as the startup project. You may also have to link references from the project directory.
