Sentiment analysis is the process of detecting positive or negative or neutral sentiment in text. It’s often used by businesses to detect sentiment in social data, gauge brand reputation, to understand it and make better. Sentiment analysis models focused on polarity (positive, negative and neutral) and even intentions (interested or not interested). Depending on how we wish want to interpret feedback and queries, we will define and tailor your categories to meet your sentiment analysis needs. This paper focuses the reviews of various colleges which are an important form of opinion mining. The essential objective of this paper is to classify every sentence’s semantic orientation (e.g. positive, negative and neutral) of the reviews. It is a very useful analysis since we could possibly determine opinion about various colleges

Sentiment analysis is the process of detecting positive and negative sentiment in text. It’s often used by businesses to detect sentiment in social data, gauge brand reputation, to understand it and make better. Sentiment analysis models focus on polarity (positive, negative and neutral) and even intentions (interested v. not interested). Depending on how you want to interpret feedback and queries, you can define and tailor your categories to meet your sentiment analysis needs. This paper focuses the reviews of college which are an important form of opinion contents. The basic objective of this work is to classify every sentence’s semantic orientation (e.g. positive, negative and neutral) of the reviews. It is a really useful analysis since we could possibly determine the overall opinion about the colleges.

Opinion Mining or Sentiment Analysis is the study that analyzes people's opinions or sentiments from the text towards entities such as products and services. It has always been important to know what other people think. With the rapid growth of availability and popularity of online review sites, blogs', forums', and social networking sites' necessity of analysing and understanding these reviews has arisen. The main approaches for sentiment analysis can be categorized into semantic orientation-based approaches, knowledge-based, and machine-learning algorithms. This chapter surveys the machine learning approaches applied to sentiment analysis-based applications. The main emphasis of this chapter is to discuss the research involved in applying machine learning methods mostly for sentiment classification at document level. Machine learning-based approaches work in the following phases, which are discussed in detail in this chapter for sentiment classification: (1) feature extraction, (2) feature weighting schemes, (3) feature selection, and (4) machine-learning methods. This chapter also discusses the standard free benchmark datasets and evaluation methods for sentiment analysis. The authors conclude the chapter with a comparative study of some state-of-the-art methods for sentiment analysis and some possible future research directions in opinion mining and sentiment analysis.

The machine learning is the emerging research domain, from which number of emerging trends are available, among them opinion mining is the one technology attraction through which the we could get analysis of the interested domain or we can say about the review from the customer towards any product or we can say any upcoming trending information. These two are the emerging words and we can say it's the buzz word in the information technology. As you will see that its widely use by the corporate sector to uplift the business next level. Before two decade you will not read any words e.g., Opinion mining or Sentiment analysis, but in the last two decade these words have given a new life to information technology domain as well as to the business. The important question which runs in the mind is why use sentiment analysis or opinion mining. The information technology has given number of new programming languages, new innovation and within that the data mining has given this trends to the users. The chapter is covering the three major concept's which comes under the machine learning e.g., Decision tree, Bayesian network and Support vector machine. The chapter is describing the basic inputs, and how it helps in supporting stakeholders by adopting these technologies.

Online social media (forums, blogs, and social networks) are increasing explosively, and utilization of these new sources of information has become important. Semantics plays a significant role in accurate analysis of an emotion speech context. Adding to this area, the already advanced semantic technologies have proven to increase the precision of the tests. Deep learning has emerged as a prominent machine learning technique that learns multiple layers or data characteristics and delivers state-of-the-art output. Throughout recent years, deep learning has been widely used in the study of sentiments, along with the growth of deep learning in many other fields of use. This chapter will offer a description of deep learning and its application in the analysis of sentiments. This chapter will focus on the semantic orientation-based approaches for sentiment analysis. In this work, a semantically enhanced methodology for the annotation of sentiment polarity in Twitter/ Facebook data will be presented.

Verbal irony, or sarcasm, presents a significant technical and conceptual challenge when it comes to automatic detection. Moreover, it can be a disruptive factor in sentiment analysis and opinion mining, because it changes the polarity of a message implicitly. Extant methods for automatic detection are mostly based on overt clues to ironic intent such as hashtags, also known as irony markers. In this paper, we investigate whether people who know each other make use of irony markers less often than people who do not know each other. We trained a machine-learning classifier to detect sarcasm in Twitter messages (tweets) that were addressed to specific users, and in tweets that were not addressed to a particular user. Human coders analyzed the top-1000 features found to be most discriminative into ten categories of irony markers. The classifier was also tested within and across the two categories. We find that tweets with a user mention contain fewer irony markers than tweets not addressed to a particular user. Classification experiments confirm that the irony in the two types of tweets is signaled differently. The within-category performance of the classifier is about 91% for both categories, while cross-category experiments yield substantially lower generalization performance scores of 75% and 71%. We conclude that irony markers are used more often when there is less mutual knowledge between sender and receiver. Senders addressing other Twitter users less often use irony markers, relying on mutual knowledge which should lead the receiver to infer ironic intent from more implicit clues. With regard to automatic detection, we conclude that our classifier is able to detect ironic tweets addressed at another user as reliably as tweets that are not addressed at a particular person.


Sentiment Analysis is individuals' opinions and feedbacks study towards a substance, which can be items, services, movies, people or events. The opinions are mostly expressed as remarks or reviews. With the social network, gatherings and websites, these reviews rose as a significant factor for the client’s decision to buy anything or not. These days, a vast scalable computing environment provides us with very sophisticated way of carrying out various data-intensive natural language processing (NLP) and machine-learning tasks to examine these reviews. One such example is text classification, a compelling method for predicting the clients' sentiment. In this paper, we attempt to center our work of sentiment analysis on movie review database. We look at the sentiment expression to order the extremity of the movie reviews on a size of 0(highly disliked) to 4(highly preferred) and perform feature extraction and ranking and utilize these features to prepare our multilabel classifier to group the movie review into its right rating. This paper incorporates sentiment analysis utilizing feature-based opinion mining and managed machine learning. The principle center is to decide the extremity of reviews utilizing nouns, verbs, and adjectives as opinion words. In addition, a comparative study on different classification approaches has been performed to determine the most appropriate classifier to suit our concern problem space. In our study, we utilized six distinctive machine learning algorithms – Naïve Bayes, Logistic Regression, SVM (Support Vector Machine), RF (Random Forest) KNN (K nearest neighbors) and SoftMax Regression.

Today we have large amounts of textual data to be processed and the procedure involved in classifying text is called natural language processing. The basic goal is to identify whether the text is positive or negative. This process is also called as opinion mining. In this paper, we consider three different data sets and perform sentiment analysis to find the test accuracy. We have three different cases- 1. If the text contains more positive data than negative data then the overall result leans towards positive. 2. If the text contains more negative data than positive data then the overall result leans towards negative. 3. In the final case the number or positive and negative data is nearly equal then we have a neutral output. For sentiment analysis we have several steps like term extraction, feature selection, sentiment classification etc. In this paper the key point of focus is on sentiment analysis by comparing the machine learning approach and lexicon-based approach and their respective accuracy loss graphs.

The Opinion Mining (OM) from mobile based social media content (SMC) is more challenging compared to topic-based mining, and it cannot be performed based on just examining the presence of single words in the text containing opinion expressions. Moreover, the existing systems of opinion   classification find that a large number of features that are not feasible for the mobile environment. The existing methods of OM in this mobile environment do not consider the semantic orientation of the SMC in the review. The proposed machine learning approach extends the feature-based classification approach to identify the orientation of the phrase on taking context into account to improve the accuracy.
