Terminology and Problems
Sentiment analysis aka opinion mining is the task of automatically detecting sentiment in text Active research area since 2002 Standard part of online market research toolkits
Opinions are personal judgements about something It is good. It is bad. It is expensive. Subjective text contains opinions; Objective text states only
facts. Sentiments are expressions of emotion or attitude or
opinion It is good. It is bad. I like it. I am happy. I am depressed. I am
angry at you. Sentiment analysis is often thought of as the prediction of
people’s private/internal states from text
