One of the active sciences or studies whose importance is rising is the science of sentiment analysis. The reason is due to the increasing sources of data that require investigation. Among the most valuable sources is Twitter, in addition to Facebook and other social media platforms. The objective of sentiment analysis is to classify sentiment/opinions of users as positive, negative, or neutral from textual data. This analysis is valuable for many applications that require understanding people's or users' opinions and emotions about a particular topic, product, or service. Several researchers tackle the problem of sentiment analysis using machine learning algorithms. In this paper, a comparative study is presented of various researches conducted a sentiment analysis on social media and especially on Tweets. The survey carried out in this paper provides an overview of preprocessing steps, machine learning algorithms, and approaches used for sentiment classification during the period 2015-2020.

Social media has been embraced by different people as a convenient and official medium of communication. People write messages and attach images and videos on Twitter, Facebook and other social media which they share. Social media therefore generates a lot of data that is rich in sentiments from these updates. Sentiment analysis has been used to determine opinions of clients, for instance, relating to a particular product or company. Knowledge based approach and Machine learning approach are among the strategies that have been used to analyze these sentiments. The performance of sentiment analysis is however distorted by noise, the curse of dimensionality, the data domains and size of data used for training and testing. This research aims at developing a model for sentiment analysis in which dimensionality reduction and the use of different parts of speech improves sentiment analysis performance. It uses natural language processing for filtering, storing and performing sentiment analysis on the data from social media. The model is tested using Naïve Bayes, Support Vector Machines and K-Nearest neighbor machine learning algorithms and its performance compared with that of two other Sentiment Analysis models. Experimental results show that the model improves sentiment analysis performance using machine learning techniques.

Sentiment analysis deals with identifying and classifying opinions or sentiments expressed in main text. It mainly refers to a text classification. Social media is generating a vast amount of sentiment rich data in the form of tweets, blog posts, comments, status updates, news etc. Sentiment analysis of this user generated data is very useful in knowing the opinion of the public. Knowledge base approach and Machine learning approach are the two strategies used for analyzing sentiments from the text. In this paper, Machine learning approach has been used for the sentiment analysis of movie review dataset and is analysed by Naïve Bayes, Decision tree, KNN, and SVM classifiers. Commencing the most efficient classification technique is the moto of the paper. Efficiency of the classifier is decided based on some regular parameters that are outputs of the classification techniques.


Sentiment analysis is the classifying of a review, opinion or a statement into categories, which brings clarity about specific sentiments of customers or the concerned group to businesses and developers. These categorized data are very critical to the development of businesses and understanding the public opinion. The need for accurate opinion and large-scale sentiment analysis on social media platforms is growing day by day. In this paper, a number of machine learning algorithms are trained and applied on twitter datasets and their respective accuracies are determined separately on different polarities of data, thereby giving a glimpse to which algorithm works best and which works worst..

There are plenty of social media webpages and platforms producing the textual data. These different kind of a data needs to be analysed and processed to extract meaningful information from raw data. Classification of text plays a vital role in extraction of useful information along with summarization, text retrieval. In our work we have considered the problem of news classification using machine learning approach. Currently we have a news related dataset which having various types of data like entertainment, education, sports, politics, etc. On this data we have applying classification algorithm with some word vectorizing techniques in order to get best result. The results which we got that have been compared on different parameters like Precision, Recall, F1 Score, accuracy for performance improvement.

The social media space has evolved into a large labyrinth of information exchange platform and due to the growth in the adoption of different social media platforms, there has been an increasing wave of interests in sentiment analysis as a paradigm for the mining and analysis of users’ opinions and sentiments based on their posts. In this paper, we present a review of contextual sentiment analysis on social media entries with a specific focus on Twitter. The sentimental analysis consists of two broad approaches which are machine learning which uses classification techniques to classify text and is further categorized into supervised learning and unsupervised learning; and the lexicon-based approach which uses a dictionary without using any test or training data set, unlike the machine learning approach.

Current search engines impose an overhead to motivated students and Internet users who employ the Web as a valuable resource for education. The user, searching for good educational materials for a technical subject, often spends extra time to filter irrelevant pages or ends up with commercial advertisements. It would be ideal if, given a technical subject by user who is educationally motivated, suitable materials with respect to the given subject are automatically identified by an affordable machine processing of the recommendation set returned by a search engine for the subject. In this scenario, the user can save a significant amount of time in filtering out less useful Web pages, and subsequently the user’s learning goal on the subject can be achieved more efficiently without clicking through numerous pages. This type of convenient learning is called One-Stop Learning (OSL). In this paper, the contributions made by Lim and Ko in (Lim and Ko, 2006) for OSL are redefined and modeled using machine learning algorithms. Four selected supervised learning algorithms: Support Vector Machine (SVM), AdaBoost, Naive Bayes and Neural Networks are evaluated using the same data used in (Lim and Ko, 2006). The results presented in this paper are promising, where the highest precision (98.9%) and overall accuracy (96.7%) obtained by using SVM is superior to the results presented by Lim and Ko. Furthermore, the machine learning approach presented here, demonstrates that the small set of features used to represent each Web page yields a good solution for the OSL problem.

PurposeThe increase in the number of healthcare wearable (Internet of Things) IoT options is making it difficult for individuals, healthcare experts and physicians to find the right smart device that best matches their requirements or treatments. The purpose of this research is to propose a framework for a recommender system to advise on the best device for the patient using machine learning algorithms and social media sentiment analysis. This approach will provide great value for patients, doctors, medical centers, and hospitals to enable them to provide the best advice and guidance in allocating the device for that particular time in the treatment process.Design/methodology/approachThis data-driven approach comprises multiple stages that lead to classifying the diseases that a patient is currently facing or is at risk of facing by using and comparing the results of various machine learning algorithms. Hereupon, the proposed recommender framework aggregates the specifications of wearable IoT devices along with the image of the wearable product, which is the extracted user perception shared on social media after applying sentiment analysis. Lastly, a proposed computation with the use of a genetic algorithm was used to compute all the collected data and to recommend the wearable IoT device recommendation for a patient.FindingsThe proposed conceptual framework illustrates how health record data, diseases, wearable devices, social media sentiment analysis and machine learning algorithms are interrelated to recommend the relevant wearable IoT devices for each patient. With the consultation of 15 physicians, each a specialist in their area, the proof-of-concept implementation result shows an accuracy rate of up to 95% using 17 settings of machine learning algorithms over multiple disease-detection stages. Social media sentiment analysis was computed at 76% accuracy. To reach the final optimized result for each patient, the proposed formula using a Genetic Algorithm has been tested and its results presented.Research limitations/implicationsThe research data were limited to recommendations for the best wearable devices for five types of patient diseases. The authors could not compare the results of this research with other studies because of the novelty of the proposed framework and, as such, the lack of available relevant research.Practical implicationsThe emerging trend of wearable IoT devices is having a significant impact on the lifestyle of people. The interest in healthcare and well-being is a major driver of this growth. This framework can help in accelerating the transformation of smart hospitals and can assist doctors in finding and suggesting the right wearable IoT for their patients smartly and efficiently during treatment for various diseases. Furthermore, wearable device manufacturers can also use the outcome of the proposed platform to develop personalized wearable devices for patients in the future.Originality/valueIn this study, by considering patient health, disease-detection algorithm, wearable and IoT social media sentiment analysis, and healthcare wearable device dataset, we were able to propose and test a framework for the intelligent recommendation of wearable and IoT devices helping healthcare professionals and patients find wearable devices with a better understanding of their demands and experiences.
