Abstract: Based on consumer psychology and experiential marketing theory, a model of customer switching intention was established from four dimensions: perceived quality, perceived value, brand reputation and expectation. Then semantic analysis on the valuation words and emotional words extracted from the consumer online reviews was made. Furthermore, combined with fuzzy sentiment corpus and fuzzy inference, the consumer's brand switching intention was computed, and the customer's switching intention types was identified. Finally, an experimental study with the case of four types of cosmetics on the TaoBao site was carried out, and reasonable conclusions and some marketing advices were obtained, which all verify the validity of the method.

Key words: customer switching intention, online reviews, fuzzy inference, affective computing sentiment computing
