Abstract: The rise in the usage of Twitter for the exclamation of the problems worldwide and also as a ‘review system,’ where the customers can directly hold an entity responsible in front of the public by tweeting and tagging them, gives them immense power and counts towards being an advantage for researchers to analyze such data that can be scraped and used through APIs for a variety of purposes. Through this research, our motive is to analyze the 2021 Chennai floods with data sourced from twitter to understand the public sentiment during the 14-day span. The same is achieved with the help of Tweepy to authenticate data extraction from Twitter and TextBlob, for the classification of sentiment tags - positive, negative, and neutral. The result of this study focuses on the visualization of our findings, with various charts and metrics indicating the sentiment of the tweets we have scraped and analyzed.

The development of mobile internet has led to a massive amount of data being generated from mobile devices daily, which has become a source for analyzing human behavior and trends in public sentiment. In this paper, we build a system called MoSa (Mobile Sentiment analysis) to analyze this data. In this system, sentiment analysis is used to analyze news comments on the THAAD (Terminal High Altitude Area Defense) event from Toutiao by employing algorithms to calculate the sentiment value of the comment. This paper is based on HowNet; after the comparison of different sentiment dictionaries, we discover that the method proposed in this paper, which use a mixed sentiment dictionary, has a higher accuracy rate in its analysis of comment sentiment tendency. We then statistically analyze the relevant attributes of the comments and their sentiment values and discover that the standard deviation of the comments’ sentiment value can quickly reflect sentiment changes among the public. Besides that, we also derive some special models from the data that can reflect some specific characteristics. We find that the intrinsic characteristics of situational awareness have implicit symmetry. By using our system, people can obtain some practical results to guide interaction design in applications including mobile Internet, social networks, and blockchain based crowdsourcing.

Pasar Lama Tangerang is a tourist attraction in the city of Tangerang. With the development of current technology, the public can provide an overview of how the facilities and services are provided by expressing opinions on the internet. However, it is difficult to distinguish which opinions belong to positive or negative opinions. Sentiment analysis is needed to overcome this problem. The stage in sentiment analysis starts with collecting data first, then the data is processed. Furthermore, the data that has been propagated is given a sentiment classification using the K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) algorithm. Then the classification results obtained an accuracy of 83% with a value of k = 1 of 120 data divided by 92 positive and 28 negative comments. Sentiment analysis is made using the R and Rstudio programming languages as supporting software.
