Spam is an undesirable content that present on online social networking sites, while spammers are the users who post this content on social networking sites. Unwanted messages posted on Twitter may have several goals and the spam tweets can interfere with statistics presented by Twitter mining tools and squander users’ attention.. Since Twitter has achieved a lot of attractiveness through-out the world, the interest towards it by the spammers and malevolent users is also increases. To overcome the spam problems many researchers proposed ideas using machine learning algorithms for the identification of spam messages. Not only the selection of classifiers but also the variegated feature analysis is essential for the identification of irrelevant messages in social networks. The proposed model performs a heterogeneous feature analysis on the twitter data streams for classifying the unsolicited messages using binary and continuous feature extraction with sentiment analysis on social network datasets. The features created are assessed using significant stratagems and the finest features are selected. A classifier model is built using these feature vectors to predict and identify the spam messages in Twitter. The experimental results clearly show that the proposed Sentiment Analysis based Binary and Continuous Feature Extraction model with Random Forest (SA-BC-RF) approach classifies the spam messages from the social networks with an accuracy of 90.72% when compared with the other state-of-the-art methods.

In recent years, there is a rapid growth in online communication. There are many social networking sites and related mobile applications, and some more are still emerging. Huge amount of data is generated by these sites everyday and this data can be used as a source for various analysis purposes. Twitter is one of the most popular networking sites with millions of users. There are users with different views and varieties of reviews in the form of tweets are generated by them. Nowadays Opinion Mining has become an emerging topic of research due to lot of opinionated data available on Blogs & social networking sites. Tracking different types of opinions & summarizing them can provide valuable insight to different types of opinions to users who use Social networking sites to get reviews about any product, service or any topic. Analysis of opinions & its classification on the basis of polarity (positive, negative, neutral) is a challenging task. Lot of work has been done on sentiment analysis of twitter data and lot needs to be done. In this paper we discuss the levels, approaches of sentiment analysis, sentiment analysis of twitter data, existing tools available for sentiment analysis and the steps involved for same. Two approaches are discussed with an example which works on machine learning and lexicon based respectively.

Online social networking platforms, such as Weblogs, micro blogs, and social networks are intensively being utilized daily to express individual's thinking. This permits scientists to collect huge amounts of data and extract significant knowledge regarding the sentiments of a large number of people at a scale that was essentially impractical a couple of years back. Therefore, these days, sentiment analysis has the potential to learn sentiments towards persons, object and occasions. Twitter has increasingly become a significant social networking platform where people post messages of up to 140 characters known as ‘Tweets'. Tweets have become the preferred medium for the marketing sector as users can instantly indicate customer success or indicate public relations disaster far more quickly than a web page or traditional media does. In this paper, we have analyzed twitter data and have predicted positive and negative tweets with high accuracy rate using support vector machine (SVM).

All trades and business run predominantly on customer satisfaction and serves as the key to success. Usually, the decisions made by people is largely dependent on others’ perspectives. Hence, it becomes important to have reviews in your favor to sustain and outperform competitors in the market. Collecting reviews and predictions and analyzing them is an effective method to get insights on how the product, service or subject is accepted by the public. It also helps us discover the fields or aspects that needs to be improved. This comes under the field of Sentiment Analysis which refers to the computational identification of views, perspectives, opinions and emotions from text and speech through Natural Language Processing. With the emergence of the internet, blogging and social-networking sites are a rage. Twitter is one of the popular and ubiquitous sites and acts as a reliable source of feedback. In this paper, we seek to detect the emotion portrayed in a given tweet with significant accuracy. We propose the use of Word2Vec model and Count Vectorizer to extract features from pre-processed data. The output is fed to trained Multi-Layer Perceptron classifier to detect the emotion behind the sentence.

As social network use continues to increase, an important question for marketers is whether consumers’ online shopping activities are related to their use of social networks and, if so, what the nature of this relationship is. On the one hand, spending time on social networks could facilitate social discovery, meaning that consumers “discover” or “stumble upon” products through their connections with others. Moreover, cumulative social network use could expose consumers to new shopping-related information, possibly with greater marginal value than the incremental time spent on a shopping website. This process may therefore be associated with increased shopping activity. On the other hand, social network use could be a substitute for other online activities, including shopping. To test the relationship between social network use and online shopping, the authors leverage a unique consumer panel data set that tracks people's browsing of shopping and social network websites and their online purchasing activities over one year. The authors find that greater cumulative usage of social networking sites is positively associated with shopping activity. However, they also find a short-term negative relationship, such that immediately after a period of increased usage of social networking sites, online shopping activity appears to be lower.


The growth of social media has provided the users with a platform to express their views on numerous themes. Social networking sites like Twitter are considered as large source of users’ sentiment. Twitter has become one of the biggest sources for evaluating sentiment analysis. The shorter and informal nature of the text encourages the users to express their sentiment fast and effectively. The huge amount of data that gets generated mostly in text format can be used for studying user’s sentiment regarding any topic. Indian Premier League (IPL) is a cricket tournament of T20 format that draws a lot of attention from the viewers. Right from the very beginning IPL has remained in the glare for consecutive 12 years. Because of the participation of renowned players from throughout the globe, some famous Bollywood personalities and businessmen, this tournament remains one of the topics for discussion. In this paper, we propose to study the users sentiment related to IPL using twitter data. The tweets related to IPL are proposed to be downloaded and analyzed to find out the sentiment regarding IPL.

This process of understanding the text and data involves loads of analytical methods, several phases and multiple techniques. Efficient use of these techniques is important for an effective and relevant understanding of the text/data. This analysis can in turn be very helpful in ecommerce for targeting audience, social media monitoring for anticipating the foul elements from society and take proactive actions to avoid unethical and illegal activities, business analytics, market positioning etc. Method: The goal is to understand the basic steps involved in analysing the text data which can be helpful in determining sentiments behind them. This review provides detailed description of steps involved in sentiment analysis with the recent research done. Patents related to sentiment analysis and classification are reviewed to throw some light in the work done related to the field. Results: Sentiment analysis determines the polarity behind the text data/review. This analysis helps in increasing the business revenue, e-health, or determining the behaviour of a person. Conclusion: This study helps in understanding the basic steps involved in natural language understanding. At each step there are multiple techniques that can be applied on data. Different classifiers provide variable accuracy depending upon the data set and classification technique used.
