With the increasing penetration of the internet, an ever-growing number of people are voicing their opinions in the numerous blogs, tweets, forums, social networking, and consumer review websites. Each such opinion has a sentiment (positive, negative, or neutral) associated with it. But the problem is that the amount of data is simply overwhelming. Methods like supervised machine learning and lexical-based approaches are available for measuring sentiments that have a huge volume of opinionated data recorded in digital form for analysis. Sentiment analysis has been used in several applications including analysis of the repercussions of events in social networks, analysis of opinions about products and services. This chapter presents sentiment analysis applications and challenges with their approaches and tools. The techniques and applications discussed in this chapter will provide a clear-cut idea to the sentiment analysis researchers to carry out their work in this field.

Arabic Sentiment analysis research field has been progressing in a slow pace compared to English and other languages. In addition to that most of the contributions are based on using supervised machine learning algorithms while comparing the performance of different classifiers with different selected stylistic and syntactic features. In this paper, we presented a novel framework for using the Concept-level sentiment analysis approach which classifies text based on their semantics rather than syntactic features. Moreover, we provided a lexicon dataset of around 69 k unique concepts that covers multi-domain reviews collected from the internet. We also tested the lexicon on a test sample from the dataset it was collected from and obtained an accuracy of 70%. The lexicon has been made publicly available for scientific purposes.


In today’s world, people are usually using social media networks for trying to communicate with other users and for sharing information across the world. The online social networking sites have become considerable tools and are providing a common medium for a number of users to communicate with each other. Twitter is the most prominent microblogging website and one among the social networking sites that grow on a daily basis. Social media incorporates an extensive amount of data in the form of tweets, forums, status updates, comments, etc. in an attempt to automatically process and analyze these data, applications can rely on analysis approaches such as sentiment analysis. Twitter sentiment analysis is an application of sentiment analysis on data from Twitter (tweets), to obtain user's opinions and sentiments. Natural Language Toolkit (NLTK) is a library based on machine learning methods in python & sentiment analysis tool. Which provides the base for text processing and classification? The research work proposed a machine learning-based classifier to extract the tweets on elections and analyze the opinion of the tweeples (people who use twitter). The tweets can be categorized as positive, negative and neutral towards a particular politician. We classify these processed tweets using a supervised machine learning classification approach. The classifier used to classify the tweets as positive, negative or neutral is Naive Bayes Classifier. The classifier is trained with tweets bearing a distinctive polarity. The percentage of positive and negative tweets is then measured and graphically represented.

Financial area analysis is not limited to enterprise performance analysis. It is worth analyzing as wide an area as possible to obtain the full impression of a specific enterprise. News website content is a datum source that expresses the public’s opinion on enterprise operations, status, etc. Therefore, it is worth analyzing the news portal article text. Sentiment analysis in English texts and financial area texts exist, and are accurate, the complexity of Lithuanian language is mostly concentrated on sentiment analysis of comment texts, and does not provide high accuracy. Therefore in this paper, the supervised machine learning model was implemented to assign sentiment analysis on financial context news, gathered from Lithuanian language websites. The analysis was made using three commonly used classification algorithms in the field of sentiment analysis. The hyperparameters optimization using the grid search was performed to discover the best parameters of each classifier. All experimental investigations were made using the newly collected datasets from four Lithuanian news websites. The results of the applied machine learning algorithms show that the highest accuracy is obtained using a non-balanced dataset, via the multinomial Naive Bayes algorithm (71.1%). The other algorithm accuracies were slightly lower: a long short-term memory (71%), and a support vector machine (70.4%).

Sentiment analysis is widely used to retrieve the hidden sentiments in medical discussions over Online Social Networking platforms such as Twitter, Facebook, Instagram. People often tend to convey their feelings concerning their medical problems over social media platforms. Practitioners and health care workers have started to observe these discussions to assess the impact of health-related issues among the people. This helps in providing better care to improve the quality of life. Dementia is a serious disease in western countries like the United States of America and the United Kingdom, and the respective governments are providing facilities to the affected people. There is much chatter over social media platforms concerning the patients’ care, healthy measures to be followed to avoid disease, check early indications. These chatters have to be carefully monitored to help the officials take necessary precautions for the betterment of the affected. A novel Feature engineering architecture that involves feature-split for sentiment analysis of medical chatter over online social networks with the pipeline is proposed that can be used on any Machine Learning model. The proposed model used the fuzzy membership function in refining the outputs. The machine learning model has obtained sentiment score is subjected to fuzzification and defuzzification by using the trapezoid membership function and center of sums method, respectively. Three datasets are considered for comparison of the proposed and the regular model. The proposed approach delivered better results than the normal approach and is proved to be an effective approach for sentiment analysis of medical discussions over online social networks.

The purpose of this article is to study one of the methods of social networks analysis – text sentiment analysis. Today, social media has become a big data base that social network analysis is used for various purposes – from setting up targeted advertising for a cosmetics store to preventing riots at the state level. There are various methods for analyzing social networks such as graph method, text sentiment analysis, audio, and video object analysis. Among them, sentiment analysis is widely used for political, social, consumer research, and also for cybersecurity. Since the analysis of the sentiment of the text involves the analysis of the emotional opinions expressed in the text, the first step is to define the term opinion. An opinion can be simple, that is, a positive, negative or neutral emotion towards a particular object or its aspect. Comparison is also an opinion, but devoid of emotional connotation. To work with simple opinions, the first task of text sentiment analysis is to classify the text. There are three levels of classifications: classification at the text level, at the level of a sentence, and at the aspect level of the object. After classifying the text at the desired level, the next task is to extract structured data from unstructured information. The problem can be solved using the five-tuple method. One of the important elements of a tuple is the aspect in which an opinion is usually expressed. Next, aspect-based sentiment analysis is applied, which involves identifying aspects of the desired object and assessing the polarity of mood for each aspect. This task is divided into two sub-tasks such as aspect extraction and aspect classification. Sentiment analysis has limitations such as the definition of sarcasm and difficulty of working with abbreviated words.

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.

In recent years, App-Based Transportation System (ABTS) like Ride Sharing (Uber, Patho) has become popular day by day. For our daily life, a rickshaw (a 3-wheeled vehicle usually for one or two passengers that one man pulls) is most important for a short distance. If we add this vehicle to our ABTS system, it will be very much helpful for us, specifically for the rainy season in Bangladesh. On heavy rainy days, in our city Dhaka, other vehicles like CNG, cars, and bikes become unused because roads go underwater. However, the man who pulled the rickshaw can serve this condition. It is more important than the conventional rickshaw is unable to provide such service properly. In this regard, we are proposing an App-Based Rickshaw (ABR), which is convenient to get over distance through the internet. To do this, we have collected data through close questionnaires’ from several types of people. In contrast, collected data are based on a text document. So our aim is to Sentiment Analysis (SA) of the people through machine learning and checks the feasibility of applicability in the real world.
