In modeling of consumer preferences based on online comments, nonlinearity and fuzziness exist in the relationship between the product design attribute and the consumer preference. On the other hand, consumer preferences are not static and changing over the time. Previous studies have proposed few approaches to model the variational consumer preferences based on online comments. However, the obtained models have black box problems and are not easy to be understood by humans as explicit models cannot be shown, which give rise to the research area of explainable artificial intelligence. Therefore, it is necessary to develop understandable and accurate consumer preferences’ models. In this article, a nonlinear time series fuzzy regression method is proposed to model the variational consumer preference based on online comments, which can generate a fuzzy dynamic consumer preference model with interactive terms, second-order and/or higher order terms. The datasets are first extracted from online comments using the sentiment analysis. Then, the polynomial structure of the fuzzy dynamic consumer preference model is established by using multiobjective chaos optimization algorithm. Then, the fuzzy regression method is used to allocate the fuzzy coefficients of each item of the model. Using sweeping robot as a case study, the validation results from the proposed approach are compared with those from fuzzy least squares regression, time series fuzzy least squares regression, fuzzy regression, and time series fuzzy regression, and it is found that the proposed approach performs better than the other four approaches in terms of mean relative errors and mean system credibility.
