Others' opinions can be decisive while choosing among various options, especially when those choices involve worthy resources like spending time and money buying products or services. Customers relying on their peers' past reviews on e-commerce websites or social media have drawn a considerable interest to sentiment analysis due to realization of its commercial and business benefits. Sentiment analysis can be exercised on movie reviews, blogs, customer feedback, etc. This chapter presents a novel approach to perform sentiment analysis of movie reviews given by users on different websites. Also, challenges like presence of thwarted words, world knowledge, and subjectivity detection in sentiments are addressed in this chapter. The results are validated by using two supervised machine learning approaches, k-nearest neighbor and naive Bayes, both on method of sentiment analysis without addressing aforementioned challenges and on proposed method of sentiment analysis with all challenges addressed. Empirical results show that proposed method outperformed the one that left challenges unaddressed.

‘Sentiment’ literally means ‘Emotions’. Sentiment analysis, synonymous to opinion mining, is a type of data mining that refers to the analy-sis of data obtained from microblogging sites, social media updates, online news reports, user reviews etc., in order to study the sentiments of the people towards an event, organization, product, brand, person etc. In this work, sentiment classification is done into multiple classes. The proposed methodology based on KNN classification algorithm shows an improvement over one of the existing methodologies which is based on SVM classification algorithm. The data used for analysis has been taken from Twitter, this being the most popular microblogging site. The source data has been extracted from Twitter using Python’s Tweepy. N-Gram modeling technique has been used for feature extraction and the supervised machine learning algorithm k-nearest neighbor has been used for sentiment classification. The performance of proposed and existing techniques is compared in terms of accuracy, precision and recall. It is analyzed and concluded that the proposed technique performs better in terms of all the standard evaluation parameters.

Sentiment analysis of product reviews on e-commerce platforms aids in determining the preferences of customers. Aspect-based sentiment analysis (ABSA) assists in identifying the contributing aspects and their corresponding polarity, thereby allowing for a more detailed analysis of the customer’s inclination toward product aspects. This analysis helps in the transition from the traditional rating-based recommendation process to an improved aspect-based process. To automate ABSA, a labelled dataset is required to train a supervised machine learning model. As the availability of such dataset is limited due to the involvement of human efforts, an annotated dataset has been provided here for performing ABSA on customer reviews of mobile phones. The dataset comprising of product reviews of Apple-iPhone11 has been manually annotated with predefined aspect categories and aspect sentiments. The dataset’s accuracy has been validated using state-of-the-art machine learning techniques such as Naïve Bayes, Support Vector Machine, Logistic Regression, Random Forest, K-Nearest Neighbor and Multi Layer Perceptron, a sequential model built with Keras API. The MLP model built through Keras Sequential API for classifying review text into aspect categories produced the most accurate result with 67.45 percent accuracy. K- nearest neighbor performed the worst with only 49.92 percent accuracy. The Support Vector Machine had the highest accuracy for classifying review text into aspect sentiments with an accuracy of 79.46 percent. The model built with Keras API had the lowest 76.30 percent accuracy. The contribution is beneficial as a benchmark dataset for ABSA of mobile phone reviews.

Making use of social media for analyzing the perceptions of the masses over a product, event, or a person has gained momentum in recent times. Out of a wide array of social networks, the authors chose Twitter for their analysis as the opinions expressed there are concise and bear a distinctive polarity. Sentiment analysis is an approach to analyze data and retrieve sentiment that it embodies. The paper elaborately discusses three supervised machine learning algorithms—naïve bayes, k-nearest neighbor (KNN), and decision tree—and compares their overall accuracy, precision, as well as recall values, f-measure, number of tweets correctly classified, number of tweets incorrectly classified, and execution time.

Social networks are the main resources to gather information about people's opinions and sentiments towards different topics as they spend hours daily on social media and share their opinions. Twitter is a platform widely used by people to express their opinions and display sentiments on different occasions. Sentiment analysis's (SA) task is to label people's opinions as different categories such as positive and negative from a given piece of text. Another task is to decide whether a given text is subjective, expressing the writer's opinions, or objective. These tasks were performed at different levels of analysis ranging from the document level to the sentence and phrase level. Another task is aspect extraction, which originated from aspect-based sentiment analysis in phrase level. All these tasks are under the umbrella of SA. In recent years, a large number of methods, techniques, and enhancements have been proposed for the problem of SA in different tasks at different levels. Sentiment analysis is an approach to analyze data and retrieve sentiment that it embodies. Twitter sentiment analysis is an application of sentiment analysis on data from Twitter (tweets) in order to extract sentiments conveyed by the user. In the past decades, the research in this field has consistently grown. The reason behind this is the challenging format of the tweets, which makes the processing difficult. The tweet format is very small, which generates a whole new dimension of problems like use of slang, abbreviations, etc. The chapter elaborately discusses three supervised machine learning algorithms—naïve Bayes, k-nearest neighbor (KNN), and decision tree—and compares their overall accuracy, precisions, as well as recall values; f-measure; number of tweets correctly classified; number of tweets incorrectly classified; and execution time.

A utilization of the computational semantics is known as natural language processing or NLP. Any opinion through attitude, feelings, and thoughts can be identified as sentiment. The overview of people against specific events, brand, things, or association can be recognized through sentiment analysis. Positive, negative, and neutral are each of the premises that can be grouped into three separate categories. Twitter, the most commonly used microblogging tool, is used to gather information for research. Tweepy is used to access Twitter's source of information. Python language is used to execute the classification algorithm on the information collected. Two measures are applied in sentiment analysis, namely feature extraction and classification. Using n-gram modeling methodology, the feature is extracted. Through a supervised machine learning algorithm, the sentiment is graded as positive, negative, and neutral. Support vector machine (SVM) and k-nearest neighbor (KNN) classification models are used and demonstrated both comparisons.

We can state undoubtedly that Bangla language is rich enough to work with and implement various Natural Language Processing (NLP) tasks. Though it needs proper attention, hardly NLP field has been explored with it. In this age of digitalization, large amount of Bangla news contents are generated in online platforms. Some of the contents are inappropriate for the children or aged people. With the motivation to filter out news contents easily, the aim of this work is to perform document level sentiment analysis (SA) on Bangla online news. In this respect, the dataset is created by collecting news from online Bangla newspaper archive.  Further, the documents are manually annotated into positive and negative classes. Composite process technique of “Pipeline” class including Count Vectorizer, transformer (TF-IDF) and machine learning (ML) classifiers are employed to extract features and to train the dataset. Six supervised ML classifiers (i.e. Multinomial Naive Bayes (MNB), K-Nearest Neighbor (K-NN), Random Forest (RF), (C4.5) Decision Tree (DT), Logistic Regression (LR) and Linear Support Vector Machine (LSVM)) are used to analyze the best classifier for the proposed model. There has been very few works on SA of Bangla news. So, this work is a small attempt to contribute in this field. This model showed remarkable efficiency through better results in both the validation process of percentage split method and 10-fold cross validation. Among all six classifiers, RF has outperformed others by 99% accuracy. Even though LSVM has shown lowest accuracy of 80%, it is also considered as good output. However, this work has also exhibited surpassing outcome for recent and critical Bangla news indicating proper feature extraction to build up the model.

In this work we address the adequacy of two machine learning methods to tackle the problem of wind velocity estimation in the lowermost region of the atmosphere using on-board inertial drone data within an outdoor setting. We fed these data, and accompanying wind tower measurements, into a K-nearest neighbor (KNN) algorithm and a long short-term memory (LSTM) neural network to predict future windspeeds, by exploiting the stabilization response of two hovering drones in a wind field. Of the two approaches, we found that LSTM proved to be the most capable supervised learning model during more capricious wind conditions, and made competent windspeed predictions with an average root mean square error of 0.61 m·s−1 averaged across two drones, when trained on at least 20 min of flight data. During calmer conditions, a linear regression model demonstrated acceptable performance, but under more variable wind regimes the LSTM performed considerably better than the linear model, and generally comparable to more sophisticated methods. Our approach departs from other multi-rotor-based windspeed estimation schemes by circumventing the use of complex and specific dynamic models, to instead directly learn the relationship between drone attitude and fluctuating windspeeds. This exhibits utility in a range of otherwise prohibitive environments, like mountainous terrain or off-shore sites.
