1.1 Sentiment Analysis Sentiment Analysis and Polarity Shift According to the levels of granularity, tasks in sentiment analysis can be divided into four categorizations: document level, sentence-level, phrase-level, and aspect-level sentiment analysis. Focusing on the phrase/sub sentence and aspect-level sentiment analysis. With the lexicon of words, established prior polarities and identify the “contextual polarity” of phrases, based on some refined annotations. For document and sentence-level sentiment classification , there are two main types of methods in the literature: term-counting and machine learning methods. 1.1.1 Sentiment Polarity and Degrees of Positivity If a given opinionated piece of text, wherein it is assumed …show more content…
This presents us with interesting opportunities to explore the relationships between classes. 1.1.2 Subjectivity Detection and Opinion Identification Work in polarity classification often assumes the incoming documents to be opinionated. For many applications, although, need to decide whether a given document contains subjective information or not, or identify which portions of the document are subjective. Subjectivity detection or ranking at the document level can be thought of as having its roots in studies in genre classification by achieving high accuracy (97%) with a Naive Bayes classifier on a particular corpus . Work in this direction is not limited to the binary distinction between subjective and objective labels. 1.1.3 Joint Topic–Sentiment Analysis One simplifying assumption sometimes made by work on document level sentiment classification is that each document under consideration is focused on the subject matter of interest in the document. This is in part because one can often assume that the document set was created by first collecting only on-topic documents

From their earliest formation, political parties have been a controversial aspect that have both strengthened and weakened the United States. It has a massive effect on voters, congress, and policymaking in the government. Party polarization is the prominent division that exists between parties, most noticeably Democrats and Republicans, because of the extreme differences of the ideological beliefs of the opposing parties. In the past, many individuals considered themselves “mixed” and did not associate themselves with just one side. According to www.pewresearch.org, “the share of Americans who express consistently conservative or consistently liberal opinions has doubled over the past two decades”. Every year less and less people consider
Healthcare: Sentiment analysis has wide-scale applications in the Healthcare industry. Many patients use internet to post their patient experience in provider facilities. This unbiased feedback from patients is critical for healthcare practices to improve the quality of care. It is not possible for the patient to keep going back to the facility to report post intervention feedback. Extracting patient sentiments from unstructured data in blogs, twitter, Facebook posts help hospitals realize important performance factors like patient satisfaction, staff friendliness, procedure efficiency. Patients also share information regarding their payer experience on the internet. Tweets, posts about insurance benefits, timely service are critical information to the payers to improve their existing services. 94% patients believe hospital’s brand name is important in making a selection. By understanding patient sentiments and taking appropriate action to translate negative feedback into improved care can help a hospital improve its brand image.
The fourth characteristic states, “A discourse community utilizes and hence possesses one or more genres in the communicative furtherance of its aims.” (221). Swales defines genre as different types of communication, not just verbal, but also written. Genres of a discourse community could be group messages, online posts, emails, notes, and more. Each discourse community is going to have different, specific genres they
Everyday we observe people’s contrasting opinions. Whether it be in politics, school, or in one’s personal life, emotions are often a major factor when it comes to expressing one’s ideas. In writing, an audience must be aware this, and decide for themselves if an author is being bias or equally representing all sides to a situation. In both Into the Wild and In Cold Blood, the authors form distinct opinions about their main characters and believe family structure heavily influenced their future.
There were several new concepts that were introduced to me this semester including the topic of genre. I found out that it was more than a classificatory tool. According to Bawarshi and Reiff, genre has changed into “a shaper of texts, meanings, and social actions”. In other words, genres are used to change and influence social interactions and to produce meaning-
One would hardly think of politics and data going hand in hand. Well, today political scientists across the globe believe data to be an integral part of political strategies. Computer-automated analysis of blog postings, web traffic analysis post a political speech, tag cloud analysis, social network ‘likes’ and ‘dislikes’ analysis provide a much more educated view of the public sentiment.
Sentiment is one’s attitude or opinion about something. Sentiment analysis uses various research areas such as natural language processing, data mining, and text mining to discover the consumer’s opinion. Sentiment analysis can occur at the document-level, sentence-level sentiment analysis, and aspect-level. Document-level being the most coarse level granularity and aspect-level being the finest level of granularity (Pedrycz and

There are many studies that examine the direct relationship between news, information and activity online and the subsequent market characteristic. However, I have selected a sample of papers to look at, some of which look at the financial theory behind the stock market, and then several which look at the sentiments which can be extracted from Twitter and online sources and then tested to see if there are any significant relationships present, which could be then use...

Sentiment analysis, also called as opinion mining, is the field of study that analyzes people’s opinions, sentiments, evaluations, appraisals, attitudes and emotion towards entities such as products, services or organizations, individuals, issues, topics and their attributes. Sentiment analysis and opinion mining mainly focuses on opinions which express or imply positive, negative or neutral sentiments.

Determining Genre: This may also being given by the instructor. Examples of genres are narrative, descriptive, analytic, and argumentative. If you can choose the genre you will consider if which genre will fit the purpose, audience, and subject of your essay.
The field of Computational Linguistics is relatively new; however, it contains several sub-areas reflecting practical applications in the field. Machine (or Automatic) Translation (MT) is one of the main components of Computational Linguistics (CL). It can be considered as an independent subject because people who work in this domain are not necessarily experts in the other domains of CL. However, what connects them is the fact that all of these subjects use computers as a tool to deal with human language. Therefore, some people call it Natural Language Processing (NLP). This paper tries to highlight MT as an essential sub-area of CL. The types and approaches of MT will be considered, and limitations discussed.
In this world today, things are so much different than 20 years ago or even 10 years ago. Judgments have become so much harsher. Today you can read people 's ways. For example, if you walk by someone and they stare you down and scrunch up their face, they have something negative about you. However, if you walk past someone and they smile and wink or continue looking at you they are thinking something platitude about you. But, because the world has changed so much in the last few years, how do we deal with negative and positive comments?
