Sentiment analysis is the process of determining the emotional tone behind a body of text. It’s a key component of natural language processing (NLP) used to understand opinions, sentiments, or attitudes expressed in text data.
The analysis typically classifies text into categories such as:
- Positive: Text with a favorable sentiment or emotion.
- Negative: Text with an unfavorable sentiment or emotion.
- Neutral: Text with no clear positive or negative sentiment.
There are also more nuanced classifications based on the intensity of sentiment, such as:
- Very positive
- Very negative
- Mixed sentiments (when both positive and negative emotions are expressed)
Applications of Sentiment Analysis:
- Customer feedback analysis: Understanding how customers feel about a product or service.
- Social media monitoring: Tracking public opinion on brands, events, or political topics.
- Market research: Analyzing reviews, comments, and surveys for business insights.
