Already, as of 2010, a quarter of Americans (24 percent) had posted product reviews or comments online, and 78 percent of internet users had gone online for product research. But those are ancient stats. More recently, BrightLocal found in 2016 that 91 percent of consumers regularly or occasionally read online reviews, with 47 percent taking sentiment of local-business reviews -- the tonality of a review's text -- into account in purchasing decisions. Breaking out the figures, 74 percent of consumers say that positive reviews make them trust a local business more, and 60 percent say that negative reviews make them not want to use a business, according to BrightLocal. So reviews are important, and the feelings expressed are key.

Machine learning and artificial intelligence are so difficult to understand, only a few very smart computer scientists know how to build them. But the designers of a new tool have a big ambition: to create the Javascript for AI. The tool, called Cortex, uses a graphical user interface to make it so that building an AI model doesn't require a PhD. The honeycomb-like interface, designed by Mark Rolston of Argodesign, enables developers–and even designers–to use premade AI "skills," as Rolston describes them, that can do things like sentiment analysis or natural language processing. They can then drag and drop these skills into an interface that shows the progression of the model.

As part of my Technology and Innovation MBA program at Ted Rogers School of Management, I took a data and knowledge management course which teaches students the principles and practices of knowledge management. The second part of the course delves on tools used in data management and analytics. Although the theoretical part of the course was a bit dry, the hands-on portion was very interesting and exposed students to several different tools to capture, clean and analyze data. One of the tasks given to students was to capture and analyze twitter data. Although students had access to Netlytics, which is a neat cloud-based text and social network analysis tool that also collects Twitter data, students were encouraged to find other ways to collect Twitter data.

Earlier we could match and extract the required information from the given text data using Ctrl F, Ctrl C, and Ctrl V. Isn't it? Probably, some of us still do it when the data is small. But this approach is slow and prone to lots of mistakes. In text analytics, the abundance of data makes such keyboard shortcut hacks obsolete. Because of the data volume and its complicated (unstructured) nature, we require much faster, convenient, and robust ways of information extraction from text data.

So, Naive Bayes gives very bad result. It can just predict 11% of bad comments. SGDClassifier predicted 47% of bad comments correctly which is a considerable improvement over the Naive Bayes. Logistic Regression though has regression in its surname but its a classifier and it shows good improvement over SGDClassifier. SVC comes out as winner with 66 % correct prediction for sentiment analysis.

This is the 6th part of my ongoing Twitter sentiment analysis project. You can find the previous posts from the below links. Before we jump into doc2vec, it will be better to mention word2vec first. "Word2vec is a group of related models that are used to produce word embeddings. These models are shallow, two-layer neural networks that are trained to reconstruct linguistic contexts of words."

In this project, I will demonstate how to perform sentiment analysis on tweets using various C# libraries. All of the code below will be placed in the Program class. Thanks to the Tweetinvi library, the authentication with the Twitter API is a breeze. Assuming that an application has been registered at http://apps.twitter.com, This type of global authentication makes it easy to perform authenticated calls throughout the entire application.

Sentiment analysis is contextual mining of text which identifies and extracts subjective information in source material, and helping a business to understand the social sentiment of the brand, product or service while monitoring online conversations. However, analysis of social media streams is usually restricted to just basic sentiment analysis and count based metrics. This is akin to just scratching the surface and missing out on those high value insights that are waiting to be discovered. So what should a brand do to capture that low hanging fruit? With the recent advances in deep learning, the ability of algorithms to analyse text has improved considerably.

Somewhere, someone is tweeting "[This airline] sucks the big one!" In the past, they would have been ignored. These days many airlines respond with sympathy ("We're so sorry you're having a rough trip -- please DM us, so we can resolve it") or send an invitation to call an 800-number (where you can wait on hold forever). A tool called sentiment analysis, or the mathematical categorization of statements' negative or positive connotations, gives companies powerful ways to analyze aggregate language data across all sorts of communications, not only tweets. Here are five of the most valuable sentiment sources to tap.
