Every day billions of data in the form of text flood the internet be it sourced from forums, blogs, social media, or review sites. With the help of sentiment analysis, previously unstructured data can be transformed into more structured data and make this data important information. The data can describe opinions / sentiments from the public, about products, brands, community services, services, politics, or other topics. Sentiment analysis is one of the fields of Natural Language Processing (NLP) that builds systems for recognizing and extracting opinions in text form. At the most basic level, the goal is to get emotions or 'feelings' from a collection of texts or sentences. The field of sentiment analysis, or also called 'opinion mining', always involves some form of data mining process to get the text that will later be carried out the learning process in the mechine learning that will be built. this study conducts a sentimental analysis with data sources from Twitter using the Random Forest algorithm approach, we will measure the evaluation results of the algorithm we use in this study. The accuracy of measurements in this study, around 75%. the model is good enough. but we suggest trying other algorithms in further research. Keywords: sentiment analysis; random forest algorithm; clasification; machine learnings.

Purpose – This paper aims to address the following challenge: the push to widen participation in public consultation suggests social media as an additional mechanism through which to engage the public. Bioenergy companies need to build their capacity to communicate in these new media and to monitor the attitudes of the public and opposition organizations towards energy development projects. Design/methodology/approach – This short paper outlines the planning issues bioenergy developments face and the main methods of communication used in the public consultation process in the UK. The potential role of social media in communication with stakeholders is identified. The capacity of sentiment analysis to mine opinions from social media is summarised and illustrated using a sample of tweets containing the term “bioenergy”. Findings – Social media have the potential to improve information flows between stakeholders and developers. Sentiment analysis is a viable methodology, which bioenergy companies should be using to measure public opinion in the consultation process. Preliminary analysis shows promising results. Research limitations/implications – Analysis is preliminary and based on a small dataset. It is intended only to illustrate the potential of sentiment analysis and not to draw general conclusions about the bioenergy sector. Social implications – Social media have the potential to open access to the consultation process and help bioenergy companies to make use of waste for energy developments. Originality/value – Opinion mining, though established in marketing and political analysis, is not yet systematically applied as a planning consultation tool. This is a missed opportunity.


The World Wide Web has boosted its content for the past years, it has a vast amount of multimedia resources that continuously grow specifically in documentary data. One of the major contributors of documentary contents can be evidently found on the social media called Facebook. People or netizens on Facebook are actively sharing their opinion about a certain topic or posts that can be related to them or not. With the huge amount of accessible documentary data that are seen on the so-called social media, there are research trends that can be made by the researchers in the field of opinion mining. A netizen’s comment on a particular post can either be a negative or a positive one. This study will discuss the opinion or comment of a netizen whether it is positive or negative or how she/he feels about a specific topic posted on Facebook; this is can be measured by the use of Sentiment Analysis. The combination of the Natural Language Processing and the analytics in textual form is also known as Sentiment Analysis that is use to the extraction of data in a useful manner. This study will be based on the product reviews of Filipinos in Filipino, English and Taglish (mixed Filipino and English) languages. To categorize a comment effectively, the Naïve Bayes Algorithm was implemented to the developed web system.

Opinion mining consists of many different fields like natural language processing, text mining, decision making and linguistics. Opinion mining is a type of natural language processing for tracking the mood of the public about a particular product. Opinion mining, which is also called sentiment analysis, involves building a system to collect and categorize opinions about a product. Automated opinion mining often uses machine learning, a type of artificial intelligence (AI), to mine text for sentiment. This project addresses the problem of sentiment analysis in twitter; that is classifying tweets according to the sentiment expressed in them: 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 class="JGI-AbstractIsi">Twitter is one of the social media that has a simple and fast concept, because short messages, news or information on Twitter can be more easily digested. This social media is also widely used as an object for researchers or industry to conduct sentiment analysis in the fields of social, economic, political or other fields. Opinion mining or also commonly called sentiment analysis is the process of analyzing text to get certain information in a sentence in the form of opinion. Sentiment analysis is one of the branches of the science of Text mining where text mining is a natural language processing technique and analytical method that is applied to text data to obtain relevant information. Public opinion or sentiment in social media twitter is very dynamic and fast changing, a real time sentiment analysis system is needed and it is automatically updated continuously so that changes can always be monitored, anytime and anywhere. This research builds a system so that it can analyze sentiment from twitter social media in realtime and automatically continuously. The results of the system trial succeeded in drawing data, conducting sentiment analysis and displaying it in graphical and web-based realtime and updated automatically. Furthermore, this research will be developed with a focus on the accuracy of the algorithms used in conducting the sentiment analysis process.</p>

Social media monitoring has been growing day by day so analyzing social data plays an important role in knowing people's behavior. So we are analyzing Social data such as Twitter Tweets using sentiment analysis which checks the opinion of people related to government schemes that are announced by the Central Government. This paper-based is on social media Twitter datasets of particular schemes and their polarity of sentiments. The popularity of the Internet has been rapidly increased. Sentiment analysis and opinion mining is the field of study that analyses people's opinions, sentiments, evaluations, attitudes, and emotions from written language. User-generated content is highly generated by users. The growing importance of sentiment analysis coincides with the growth of social media such as reviews, forum discussions, blogs, micro-blogs, Twitter, and social networks. It is difficult to analyze or summarize user-generated content. Most of the users write their opinions, thoughts on blogs, social media sites, E-commerce sites, etc. So these contents are very important for individuals, industry, government, and research work to make decisions. This Sentiment analysis and opinion mining research is a hot research area that comes under Natural Language processing. We plot and calculate numbers of positive, negative, and neutral tweets from each event.

The growth of social media is changing the way humans communicate with each other, many people use social media such as Twitter to express opinions, experiences and other things that concern them, where things like this are often referred to as sentiments. The concept of social media is now the focus of business people to find out people's sentiments about a product or place that will become a business. Sentiment Analysis or often also called opinion mining is a computational study of people's opinions, appraisal, and emotions through entities, events and attributes owned. Sentiment analysis itself has recently become a popular topic for research because sentiment analysis can be applied in many industrial sectors, one of which is the tourism industry in Indonesia. To be able to do a sentiment analysis requires mastery of several techniques such as techniques for doing text mining, machine learning and natural language processing (NLP) to be able to process large and unstructured data coming from social media. Some methods that are often used include Naive Bayes, Neural Networks, K-Nearest Neighbor, Support Vector Machines, and Decision Tree. Because of this, this research will compare these four algorithms so that an algorithm can be used to analyze people's sentiments towards the city of Bali.

Abstract Opinion mining and sentiment analysis based on social media has been developed these years, especially with the popularity of social media and the development of machine learning. But in the community of nuclear engineering and technology, sentiment analysis is seldom studied, let alone the automatic analysis by using machine learning algorithms. This work concentrates on the public sentiment mining of nuclear energy in German-speaking countries based on the public comments of nuclear news in social media by using the automatic methodology, since compared with the news itself, the comments are closer to the public real opinions. The results showed that majority comments kept in neutral sentiment. 23% of comments were in positive tones, which were approximate 4 times those in negative tones. The concerning issues of the public are the innovative technology development, safety, nuclear waste, accidents and the cost of nuclear power. Decision tree, random forest and long short-term memory networks (LSTM) are adopted for the automatic sentiment analysis. The results show that all of the proposed methods can be applied in practice to some extent. But as a deep learning algorithm, LSTM gets the highest accuracy approximately 85.6% with also the best robustness of all.
