Several studies have addressed the benefits of mentoring from the mentor’s perspective, especially those related to soft skills. However, to the best of our knowledge, there are no studies that either relate the mentoring in STEM areas with female role models or that analyze them from a data-mining perspective. In this work, a questionnaire was elaborated to address the mentor’s benefits related to soft skills and technical knowledge; afterward, a data-mining methodology was used to analyze the mentor’s perceptions related to female role models and STEM reinforcement. In addition, sentiment analysis was performed in order to determine the emotional polarity in the text used by the mentors to describe their mentoring experience. The results show that soft and technical skills are acquired by the mentors, and participating in mentoring programs allows them to perceive themselves as female role models. Additionally, by using decision trees, it was possible to determine the mentors’ characteristics that perceive a STEM reinforcement or that produce attraction. In addition, the results show that the general perception of the mentors’ experience was positive. Finally, the use of machine learning techniques, specifically data mining and sentiment analysis, allowed us to both confirm the results obtained in a qualitative way and to obtain new interesting results.

Sentiment analysis is used to conclude the approach of a consumer with respect to some topic. Sentimental analysis, a sub discipline within data mining and computational linguistics, refers to the methodology for mining, understanding the opinions expressed by the consumer in various forms like forums, forms blogs etc. The goal of sentiment analysis is to identify emotional states in online text. We Know human’s learns from past knowledge and machines follows instructions given by humans. But what if humans can prepare the machines from the past data and to put output to work much faster well that what is machine learning is it’s not about learning it’s also about understanding. So we will learn about analysis of sentiments using machine learning techniques

Abstract In this article, an innovative approach to perform the sentiment analysis (SA) has been presented. The proposed system handles the issues of Romanized or abbreviated text and spelling variations in the text to perform the sentiment analysis. The training data set of 3,000 movie reviews and tweets has been manually labeled by native speakers of Hindi in three classes, i.e. positive, negative, and neutral. The system uses WEKA (Waikato Environment for Knowledge Analysis) tool to convert these string data into numerical matrices and applies three machine learning techniques, i.e. Naive Bayes (NB), J48, and support vector machine (SVM). The proposed system has been tested on 100 movie reviews and tweets, and it has been observed that SVM has performed best in comparison to other classifiers, and it has an accuracy of 68% for movie reviews and 82% in case of tweets. The results of the proposed system are very promising and can be used in emerging applications like SA of product reviews and social media analysis. Additionally, the proposed system can be used in other cultural/social benefits like predicting/fighting human riots.

Sentiment or emotion behind a tweet from Twitter or a post from Facebook can help us answer what opinions or feedback a person has. With the advent of growing user-generated blogs, posts and reviews across various social media and online retails, calls for an understanding of these afore mentioned user data acts as a catalyst in building Recommender systems and drive business plans. User reviews on online retail stores influence buying behavior of customers and thus complements the ever-growing need of sentiment analysis. Machine Learning helps us to read between the lines of tweets by proving us with various algorithms like Naïve Bayes, SVM, etc. Sentiment Analysis uses Machine Learning and Natural Language Processing (NLP) to extract, classify and analyze tweets for sentiments (emotions). There are various packages and frameworks in R and Python that aid in Sentiment Analysis or Text Mining in general.

Sentiment analysis has gained a lot of attention from researchers in the last year because it has been widely applied to a variety of application domains such as business, government, education, sports, tourism, biomedicine, and telecommunication services. Sentiment analysis is an automated computational method for studying or evaluating sentiments, feelings, and emotions expressed as comments, feedbacks, or critiques. The sentiment analysis process can be automated using machine learning techniques, which analyses text patterns faster. The supervised machine learning technique is the most used mechanism for sentiment analysis. The proposed work discusses the flow of sentiment analysis process and investigates the common supervised machine learning techniques such as multinomial naive bayes, Bernoulli naive bayes, logistic regression, support vector machine, random forest, K-nearest neighbor, decision tree, and deep learning techniques such as Long Short-Term Memory and Convolution Neural Network. The work examines such learning methods using standard data set and the experimental results of sentiment analysis demonstrate the performance of various classifiers taken in terms of the precision, recall, F1-score, RoC-Curve, accuracy, running time and k fold cross validation and helps in appreciating the novelty of the several deep learning techniques and also giving the user an overview of choosing the right technique for their application.

Over the last period, social media achieved a widespread use worldwide where the statistics indicate that more than three billion people are on social media, leading to large quantities of data online. To analyze these large quantities of data, a special classification method known as sentiment analysis, is used. This paper presents a new sentiment analysis system based on machine learning techniques, which aims to create a process to extract the polarity from social media texts. By using machine learning techniques, sentiment analysis achieved a great success around the world. This paper investigates this topic and proposes a sentiment analysis system built on Bayesian Rough Decision Tree (BRDT) algorithm. The experimental results show the success of this system where the accuracy of the system is more than 95% on social media data.
