Sentiment Analysis of Twitter Data
Sentiment Analysis of Twitter Data
With the explosive growth of social media and the content available in it, there is a
huge scope for identifying and deriving subjective information from raw data.
Todays users not only obtain information but also actively generate content. News
reports, blogs and forums are the main sources of information. The text contains
both facts and opinions which could be extracted using natural language processing
to get some opinionated views. Opinions are usually attached with sentiment that the
user is feeling about entities, events and other properties.
Sentiment analysis has found its application in almost every domain. Any individual
wants to buy a product or use a service will check the opinion or reviews of the
others. Also the organization would like to know the sentiment of its customers for
improving the service or product.
In this project, we deal with the text classification approach which involves building
classifiers using labeled instances of text and sentences essentially making it a
supervised classification task.
