All trades and business run predominantly on customer satisfaction and serves as the key to success. Usually, the decisions made by people is largely dependent on others’ perspectives. Hence, it becomes important to have reviews in your favor to sustain and outperform competitors in the market. Collecting reviews and predictions and analyzing them is an effective method to get insights on how the product, service or subject is accepted by the public. It also helps us discover the fields or aspects that needs to be improved. This comes under the field of Sentiment Analysis which refers to the computational identification of views, perspectives, opinions and emotions from text and speech through Natural Language Processing. With the emergence of the internet, blogging and social-networking sites are a rage. Twitter is one of the popular and ubiquitous sites and acts as a reliable source of feedback. In this paper, we seek to detect the emotion portrayed in a given tweet with significant accuracy. We propose the use of Word2Vec model and Count Vectorizer to extract features from pre-processed data. The output is fed to trained Multi-Layer Perceptron classifier to detect the emotion behind the sentence.

In recent years, there is a rapid growth in online communication. There are many social networking sites and related mobile applications, and some more are still emerging. Huge amount of data is generated by these sites everyday and this data can be used as a source for various analysis purposes. Twitter is one of the most popular networking sites with millions of users. There are users with different views and varieties of reviews in the form of tweets are generated by them. Nowadays Opinion Mining has become an emerging topic of research due to lot of opinionated data available on Blogs & social networking sites. Tracking different types of opinions & summarizing them can provide valuable insight to different types of opinions to users who use Social networking sites to get reviews about any product, service or any topic. Analysis of opinions & its classification on the basis of polarity (positive, negative, neutral) is a challenging task. Lot of work has been done on sentiment analysis of twitter data and lot needs to be done. In this paper we discuss the levels, approaches of sentiment analysis, sentiment analysis of twitter data, existing tools available for sentiment analysis and the steps involved for same. Two approaches are discussed with an example which works on machine learning and lexicon based respectively.


Due to the invention of Web 2.0, the users have become more interest to share their content day by day. The emergence of various social networking sites has added to a greater extent to these activities. These provide a very good platform for the users to share the opinions of the persons across the globe. The opinions shared by the customers on the web can have the prevalent over the service industry. Many industries such as educational institutions, researchers, business organizations are concentrating opinion mining which is also called as sentiment analysis (SA) to retrieve the views and opinions posted by the public. This paper made a survey on Sentiment Analysis (SA) which aims to discusses technical aspects of SA (techniques, types) .This paper further highlights the main challenges faced by SA. These challenges present a lot of scope for research work in the future

Twitter sentiment analysis is one of the leading research fields. Most of the researchers were contributed to twitter sentiment analysis in English tweets, but few researchers focus on the multilingual twitter sentiment analysis. Some challenges are hoping for the research solutions in multilingual twitter sentiment analysis. This study presents the implementation of sentiment analysis in multilingual twitter data and improves the data classification up to the adequate level of accuracy. Twitter is the sixth leading social networking site in the world. Active users for twitter in a month are 330 million. People can tweet or re-tweet in their languages and allow users to use emoji’s, abbreviations, contraction words, miss spellings, and shortcut words. The best platform for sentiment analysis is twitter. Multilingual tweets and data sparsity are the two main challenges. In this paper, the MLTSA algorithm gives the solution for these two challenges. MLTSA algorithm divides into two parts. One is detecting and translating non-English tweets into English using natural language processing (NLP). And the second one is an appropriate pre-processing method with NLP support can reduce the data sparsity. The result of the MLTSA with SVM achieves good accuracy by up to 95%.


The growth of social media has provided the users with a platform to express their views on numerous themes. Social networking sites like Twitter are considered as large source of users’ sentiment. Twitter has become one of the biggest sources for evaluating sentiment analysis. The shorter and informal nature of the text encourages the users to express their sentiment fast and effectively. The huge amount of data that gets generated mostly in text format can be used for studying user’s sentiment regarding any topic. Indian Premier League (IPL) is a cricket tournament of T20 format that draws a lot of attention from the viewers. Right from the very beginning IPL has remained in the glare for consecutive 12 years. Because of the participation of renowned players from throughout the globe, some famous Bollywood personalities and businessmen, this tournament remains one of the topics for discussion. In this paper, we propose to study the users sentiment related to IPL using twitter data. The tweets related to IPL are proposed to be downloaded and analyzed to find out the sentiment regarding IPL.

Abstract Many hoped that social networking sites would allow for the open exchange of information and a revival of the public sphere. Unfortunately, conversations on social media are often toxic and not conducive to healthy political discussions. Twitter, the most widely used social network for political discussions, doubled the limit of characters in a tweet in November 2017, which provided an opportunity to study the effect of technological affordances on political discussions using a discontinuous time series design. Using supervised and unsupervised natural language processing methods, we analyzed 358,242 tweet replies to U.S. politicians from January 2017 to March 2018. We show that doubling the permissible length of a tweet led to less uncivil, more polite, and more constructive discussions online. However, the declining trend in the empathy and respectfulness of these tweets raises concerns about the implications of the changing norms for the quality of political deliberation.

Spam is an undesirable content that present on online social networking sites, while spammers are the users who post this content on social networking sites. Unwanted messages posted on Twitter may have several goals and the spam tweets can interfere with statistics presented by Twitter mining tools and squander users’ attention.. Since Twitter has achieved a lot of attractiveness through-out the world, the interest towards it by the spammers and malevolent users is also increases. To overcome the spam problems many researchers proposed ideas using machine learning algorithms for the identification of spam messages. Not only the selection of classifiers but also the variegated feature analysis is essential for the identification of irrelevant messages in social networks. The proposed model performs a heterogeneous feature analysis on the twitter data streams for classifying the unsolicited messages using binary and continuous feature extraction with sentiment analysis on social network datasets. The features created are assessed using significant stratagems and the finest features are selected. A classifier model is built using these feature vectors to predict and identify the spam messages in Twitter. The experimental results clearly show that the proposed Sentiment Analysis based Binary and Continuous Feature Extraction model with Random Forest (SA-BC-RF) approach classifies the spam messages from the social networks with an accuracy of 90.72% when compared with the other state-of-the-art methods.


The rapid increase in technology made people across the world use social networking sites to express their opinions on a topic, product or service. The success of a healthcare service directly depends on its users. If a majority of users like the service then it is a success otherwise, the service needs to be improvised. For improvising the service, the users' opinions need to be analyzed. Manually extracting and analyzing the content present on the web is a tedious task. This gave rise to a new research area called Sentiment Analysis. It is otherwise known as opinion mining. It is being used by many health organizations to make effective decisions on their service. This paper presents the sentiment analysis of patients' opinions on hospitals which is mainly used to improve healthcare service. This is implemented using a lexicon-based methodology to analyze the sentiment.

<p>Opinion mining is extract subjective information from text data using tools such as NLP, text analysis etc. Automated opinion mining often uses machine learning, a type of artificial intelligence (AI), to mine text for sentiment. Opinion mining, which is also called sentiment analysis, involves building a system to collect and categorize opinions about a product.In this project the problem of sentiment analysis in twitter; that is classifying tweets according to the sentiment expressed in terms of positive, negative or neutral. Twitter is an online micro-blogging and social-networking platform which allows users to write short status updates of maximum length 140 characters. It is a rapidly expanding service with over 200 million registered users out of which 100 million are active users and half of them log on twitter on a daily basis - generating nearly 250 million tweets per day. Due to this large amount of usage we hope to achieve a reflection of public sentiment by analysing the sentiments expressed in the tweets. Analysing the public sentiment is important for many applications such as firms trying to find out the response of their products in the market, predicting political elections and predicting socioeconomic phenomena like stock exchange.</p>

This chapter first analyzes the Nepali mainstream media and social media's effect upon its relationships with audiences or news-receivers. Then, it explores how social media is a virtual space for creating democratic forums in order to generate news, share among Networked Knowledge Communities (NKCs), and disseminate across the globe. It further examines how social media can embody a collective voice of indigenous and marginalized people, how it can better democratize mainstream media, and how it works as an alternative media. As a result of the impact of the Internet upon the Nepali society and the Nepali mainstream media, the traditional class stratifications in Nepal have been changed, and the previously marginalized and disadvantaged indigenous peoples have also begun to be empowered in the new ways brought about by digital technology. Social networking spaces engage the common people—those who are not in power, marginalized and disadvantaged, dominated, and excluded from opportunities, mainstream media, and state mechanisms—democratically in emic interactions in order to produce first-hand news about themselves from their own perspectives. Moreover, Nepali journalists frequently visit social media as a reliable source of information. The majority of common people in Nepal use social networking sites as a forum to express their collective voice and also as a tool or medium to correct any misrepresentation in the mainstream media. Social media and the Nepali mainstream media converge on the greater issues of national interest, whereas the marginalized and/or indigenous peoples of Nepal use the former as a space that embodies their denial of discriminatory news in the latter.
