Classification of Negation in Sentiment Analysis using Twitter Data
Keywords:
sentiment, negation, polarity, emoticonsAbstract
This paper provides a brief overview of a paradigm that has been used to identify, classify and cluster the negations consist in the Tweets. Usually unambiguous short text messages, collected from the famous microblogging service Twitter, are called Tweets. It has a maximum character limit of 280 characters. People usually express their standpoints or perspectives about a situation or fact through Tweets. In this collected dataset of Tweets, some negations may be overlapped or/and misclassified. So, our objective is to improve the accuracy using fine classification and increase the sharpness by reducing the overlap or/and misclassification. Here, we have used two different techniques of Sentiment Analysis, such as Lexicon Based Approach and Supervised Learning Approach to train our model. This proposed system has also analyzed Tweets and Emoticons into three categories- Positive, Negative and Neutral. In this analysis, we have used a data set of 2000 Tweets and found 88.14 percentage of accuracy.
