In the past decades, sentiment analysis has become one of the most active research areas in natural language processing, data mining, web mining, and information retrieval. The great demand in everyday life and the factor of novelty coupled with the availability of data from social networks have served as strong motivation for research on sentiment-analysis. A number of technical problems, most of which had not been attempted before, either in the NLP or linguistics communities have also generated strong research interests in academia. Sentiment analysis, also called opin-ion mining, is the field of study that analyzes people’s opinions, sentiments, apprais-als, attitudes, and emotions toward entities and their attributes expressed in written text. The entities can be products, services, organizations, individuals, events, issues, or topics. The field represents a large problem space. It improves not only the field of natural language processing but also management, political science, economics, and sociology because all these areas are related to the thoughts of consumers and public. User-generated content is full of opinions, because the main reason why people post messages on social media platforms is to express their views and opinions, and therefore sentiment analysis is at the centre of social media analysis. It turned out that user messages often contain plenty of sarcastic expressions and ambiguous words. Within one opinion both positive and negative sentiments can be present. This also applies to negative particles, which do not always indicate a negative tone. This article investigates four challenges faced by researchers while conducting sentiment analysis, namely: sarcasm, negation, word ambiguity, and multipolarity. These aspects significantly affect the accuracy of the results when we determine a sentiment. Modern approaches to solving the problem are also covered. These are mainly machine learning methods, such as convolutional neural networks (CNN), deep neural networks (DNN), long short-term memory (LTSM), recurrent neural network (RNN), support vector machines (SVM), etc.

Twitter is one of the world's biggest social media platforms for hosting abundant number of user-generated posts. It is considered as a gold mine of data. Majority of the tweets are public and thereby pullable unlike other social media platforms. In this paper we are analyzing the topics related to mental health that are recently (June, 2020) been discussed on Twitter. Also amidst the on-going pandemic, we are going to find out if covid-19 emerges as one of the factors impacting mental health. Further we are going to do an overall sentiment analysis to better understand the emotions of users.

People are afraid about COVID-19 and are actively talking about it on social media platforms such as Twitter. People are showing their emotions openly in their tweets on Twitter. It's very important to perform sentiment analysis on these tweets for finding COVID-19's impact on people's lives. Natural language processing, textual processing, computational linguists, and biometrics are applied to perform sentiment analysis to identify and extract the emotions. In this work, sentiment analysis is carried out on a large Twitter dataset of English tweets. Ten emotional themes are investigated. Experimental results show that COVID-19 has spread fear/anxiety, gratitude, happiness and hope, and other mixed emotions among people for different reasons. Specifically, it is observed that positive news from top officials like Trump of chloroquine as cure to COVID-19 has suddenly lowered fear in sentiment, and happiness, gratitude, and hope started to rise. But, once FDA said, chloroquine is not effective cure, fear again started to rise.

The cognitive approach to psychotherapy aims to change patients’ maladaptive schemas, that is, overly negative views on themselves, the world, or the future. To obtain awareness of these views, they record their thought processes in situations that caused pathogenic emotional responses. The schemas underlying such thought records have, thus far, been largely manually identified. Using recent advances in natural language processing, we take this one step further by automatically extracting schemas from thought records. To this end, we asked 320 healthy participants on Amazon Mechanical Turk to each complete five thought records consisting of several utterances reflecting cognitive processes. Agreement between two raters on manually scoring the utterances with respect to how much they reflect each schema was substantial (Cohen’s κ = 0.79). Natural language processing software pretrained on all English Wikipedia articles from 2014 (GLoVE embeddings) was used to represent words and utterances, which were then mapped to schemas using k-nearest neighbors algorithms, support vector machines, and recurrent neural networks. For the more frequently occurring schemas, all algorithms were able to leverage linguistic patterns. For example, the scores assigned to the Competence schema by the algorithms correlated with the manually assigned scores with Spearman correlations ranging between 0.64 and 0.76. For six of the nine schemas, a set of recurrent neural networks trained separately for each of the schemas outperformed the other algorithms. We present our results here as a benchmark solution, since we conducted this research to explore the possibility of automatically processing qualitative mental health data and did not aim to achieve optimal performance with any of the explored models. The dataset of 1600 thought records comprising 5747 utterances is published together with this article for researchers and machine learning enthusiasts to improve upon our outcomes. Based on our promising results, we see further opportunities for using free-text input and subsequent natural language processing in other common therapeutic tools, such as ecological momentary assessments, automated case conceptualizations, and, more generally, as an alternative to mental health scales.

Presently Research Center expresses that, 72% of public uses some sort of social media. More than 300 million individual experiences the depression and despondency, just a small amount of them get sufficient treatment. Discouragement is the main source of incapacity worldwide and almost 800,000 individuals consistently loss their life because of suicide. Suicide is the subsequent driving reason for death among teenagers. Our idea is to suggest solution for this problem. Social Media gives an extraordinary chance to change early depressions, especially in youngsters. Consistently, around 6,000 Tweets are tweeted per second, 350,000 tweets per minute, 500 million tweets each day and around 200 billion tweets each year. By using this rich source of data and information, can efficient model which provides report of person’s depression symptoms will be designed. In this model an algorithm that can examine Tweets Expressing self-assessed negative features by analyzing linguistic markers in social media posts.

The World Wide Web such as social networking sites and blog comments forum has huge user comments emotion data from different social events and product brand and arguments in the form of political views. Generate a heap. Reflects the user's mood on the network, the reader, has a huge impact on product suppliers and politicians. The challenge for the credibility of the analysis is the lack of sufficient tag data in the Natural Language Processing (NLP) field. Positive and negative classify content based on user feedback, live chat, whether the user is used as the base for a wide range of tasks related to the text content of a meaningful assessment. Data collection, and function number for all variants. A recurrent neural network is very good text classification. Analyzing unstructured form from social media data, reasonable structure, and analyzes attach great importance to note for this emotion. Emotional rewiring can use natural language processing sentiment analysis to predict. In the method by the Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) of the proposed prediction chat live chat into sentiment analysis. Sentiment analysis and in-depth learning technology have been integrated into the solution to this problem, with their deep learning model automatic learning function is active. Using a Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) reputation analysis to solve various problems and language problems of text analysis and visualization product retrospective sentiment classifier cross-depth analysis of the learning model implementation.

Sentiment analysis has emerged as one of the most powerful tools in business intelligence. With the aim of proposing an effective sentiment analysis technique, we have performed experiments on analyzing the sentiments of 3,424 tweets using both statistical and natural language processing (NLP) techniques as part of our background study.  For statistical technique, machine learning algorithms such as Support Vector Machines (SVMs), decision trees and Naïve Bayes have been explored. The results show that SVM consistently outperformed the rest in both classifications. As for sentiment analysis using NLP techniques, we used two different tagging methods for part-of-speech (POS) tagging.  Subsequently, the output is used for word sense disambiguation (WSD) using WordNet, followed by sentiment identification using SentiWordNet.  Our experimental results indicate that adjectives and adverbs are sufficient to infer the sentiment of tweets compared to other combinations. Comparatively, the statistical approach records higher accuracy than the NLP approach by approximately 17%.

Every successful business aims to know how customers feel about its brands, services, and products. People freely express their views, ideas, sentiments, and opinions on social media for their day-to-day activities, for product reviews, for surveys, and even for their public opinions. This process provides a fortune of valuable resources about the market for any type of business. Unfortunately, it's impossible to manually analyze this massive quantity of information. Sentiment analysis (SA) and opinion mining (OM), as new fields of natural language processing, have the potential benefit of analyzing such a huge amount of data. SA or OM is the computational treatment of opinions, sentiments, and subjectivity of text. This chapter introduces the reader to a survey of different text SA and OM proposed techniques and approaches. The authors discuss in detail various approaches to perform a computational treatment for sentiments and opinions with their strengths and drawbacks.
