As Covid-19 spreads to other nations and governments attempt to minimize its effect by introducing countermeasures, individuals have often used social media outlets to share their opinions on the measures themselves, the leaders implementing them, and the ways in which their lives are shifting. Sentiment analysis refers to the application in source materials of natural language processing, computational linguistics, and text analytics to identify and classify subjective opinions. The reason why this research uses a sentiment case study towards Trump and Jokowi's policies is because Jokowi and Trump have similarities in handling Covid-19. Indonesia and the US are still low in the discipline in implementing health protocols. The data collection period was chosen on September 21 - October 21 2020 because during that period, the top 5 trending on Twitter included # covid19, #jokowi, #miglobal, #trump, and #donaldtrump. So, this period is most appropriate for taking data and discussing the handling of Covid-19 by Jokowi and Trump. The result shows both Jokowi and Trump have higher negative sentiments than positive sentiments during the period. Trump had issued a controversial statement regarding the handling of Covid-19. This research is limited to the sentiment generated by the policies conveyed by the US and Indonesian Governments via @jokowi and @realDonaldTrump Twitter Account. The dataset presented in this research is being collected and analyzed using the Brand24, a software-automated sentiment analysis. Further research can increase the scope of the data and increase the timeframe for data collection and develop tools for analyzing sentiment.

Sentiment (opinion) refers to the feelings of a human being, which are generally reflected through speech and writing in a particular natural language. The analysis of these sentiments are therefore carried with the help of natural language processing, text analysis, and computational linguistics to identify and extract subjective information in source materials. Generally speaking, sentiment analysis aims to determine the attitude of a speaker or a writer with respect to some topic or the overall contextual polarity of a document. Sentiment analysis is widely applied to reviews and social media for a variety of applications, ranging from marketing research, political reviews, policy making, decision making, customer service, etc. In this chapter the authors include the introduction to sentiment analysis, various approaches for classification of sentiment analysis, various tools used, the application areas, challenges, and future research direction in this most demanding area.

Sentiment analysis is a part of computational linguistics concerned with extracting sentiment and emotion from text. It is also considered as a task of natural language processing and data mining. Sentiment analysis mainly concentrate on identifying whether a given text is subjective or objective and if it is subjective, then whether it is negative, positive or neutral. This chapter provide an overview of aspect based sentiment analysis with current and future trend of research on aspect based sentiment analysis. This chapter also provide a aspect based sentiment analysis of online customer reviews of Nokia 6600. To perform aspect based classification we are using lexical approach on eclipse platform which classify the review as a positive, negative or neutral on the basis of features of product. The Sentiwordnet is used as a lexical resource to calculate the overall sentiment score of each sentence, pos tagger is used for part of speech tagging, frequency based method is used for extraction of the aspects/features and used negation handling for improving the accuracy of the system.

Sentiment analysis is the methodical recognition, extraction, quantification, and learning of affective states and subjective information using natural language processing, text analysis, computational linguistics, and biometrics. People frequently use Twitter, one of numerous popular social media platforms, to convey their thoughts and opinions about a business, a product, or a service. Analysis of tweet sentiments is particularly useful in detecting if people have a good, negative, or neutral opinion. This study assesses public opinion about an individual, activity, commodity, or organization. The Twitter API is utilised in this article to directly get tweets from Twitter and develop a sentiment categorization for the tweets. This paper has used Twitter data for two separate approaches, viz., Lexicon & Machine Learning. Lexicon based approach further categorized in Corpus-based and Dictionary-based. And various Machine learning-based approaches like Support Vector Machine (SVM), Naïve Bayes, Maximum entropy are used to analyse Twitter data. Neural Network (NN), Decision tree-based sentiment analysis is also covered in this research work, to find out better accuracy of the approaches in the various data range. Graphs and confusion matrices are used to visualise the results of the analysis for positive, negative, and neutral remarks regarding their opinions.

This paper describes the Quantitative Criticism Lab, a collaborative initiative between classicists, quantitative biologists, and computer scientists to apply ideas and methods drawn from the sciences to the study of literature. A core goal of the project is the use of computational biology, natural language processing, and machine learning techniques to investigate authorial style, intertextuality, and related phenomena of literary significance. As a case study in our approach, here we review the use of sequence alignment, a common technique in genomics and computational linguistics, to detect intertextuality in Latin literature. Sequence alignment is distinguished by its ability to find inexact verbal similarities, which makes it ideal for identifying phonetic echoes in large corpora of Latin texts. Although especially suited to Latin, sequence alignment in principle can be extended to many other languages.

Sentiment analysis refers to Natural Language Processing techniques that are classified as Unsupervised Learning to identify positive, negative, or neutral opinions. Many of these opinions come through Twitter, because social media is quite effective and efficient in commenting because it can only write a maximum of 140 characters. From previous research, the value of the accuracy of the sentiment analysis carried out by one of the NLP libraries, namely TextBlob, has shown that Unsupervised Learning does not produce such good scores. With the Telkomsel service case study the writer took the dataset from Twitter and the results of the analysis with TextBlob only showed a value of 58.59%. Optimization is done by adding the Support Vector Machine method which is included in the Supervised Learning category. The best results obtained from this study are values that show 75%.

Sentiment Analysis (SA) is a Natural Language Processing (NLP) and an Information Extraction (IE) task that primarily aims to obtain the writer’s feelings expressed in positive or negative by analyzing a large number of documents. SA is also widely studied in the fields of data mining, web mining, text mining, and information retrieval. The fundamental task in sentiment analysis is to classify the polarity of a given content as Positive, Negative, or Neutral . Although extensive research has been conducted in this area of computational linguistics, most of the research work has been carried out in the context of English language. However, Bengali sentiment expression has varying degree of sentiment labels, which can be plausibly distinct from English language. Therefore, sentiment assessment of Bengali language is undeniably important to be developed and executed properly. In sentiment analysis, the prediction potential of an automatic modeling is completely dependent on the quality of dataset annotation. Bengali sentiment annotation is a challenging task due to diversified structures (syntax) of the language and its different degrees of innate sentiments (i.e., weakly and strongly positive/negative sentiments). Thus, in this article, we propose a novel and precise guideline for the researchers, linguistic experts, and referees to annotate Bengali sentences immaculately with a view to building effective datasets for automatic sentiment prediction efficiently.

Abstract. Sentiment Analysis concerns the analysis of ideas, emotions, evaluations, values, attitudes and feelings about products, services, companies, individuals, tasks, events, titles and their characteristics. With the increase in applications on the Internet and social networks, Sentiment Analysis has become more crucial in the field of text mining research and has since been used to explore users’ opinions on various products or topics discussed on the Internet. Developments in the fields of Natural Language Processing and Computational Linguistics have contributed positively to Sentiment Analysis studies, especially for sentiments written in non-structured or semi-structured languages. In this paper, we present a literature review on the pre-processing task on the field of sentiment analysis and an analytical and comparative study of different researches conducted in Arabic social networks. This study allowed as concluding that several works have dealt with the generation of stop words dictionary. In this context, two approaches are adopted: first, the manual one, which gives rise to a limited list, and second, the automatic, where the list of stop words is extracted from social networks based on defined rules. For stemming two, algorithms have been proposed to isolate prefixes and suffixes from words in dialects. However, few works have been interested in dialects directly without translation. The Moroccan dialect in particular is considered as the 5th dialect studied among Arabic dialects after Jordanian, Egyptian, Tunisian and Algerian dialects. Despite the significant lack in studies carried out on Arabic dialects, we were able to extract several conclusions about the difficulties and challenges encountered through this comparative study, as well as the possible ways and tracks to study in any dialects sentiment analysis pre-processing solution.
