Sentiment analysis is a broad and expanding field that aims to extract and classify opinions from textual data. Lexicon-based approaches are based on the use of a sentiment lexicon, i.e., a list of words each mapped to a sentiment score, to rate the sentiment of a text chunk. Our work focuses on predicting stock price change using a sentiment lexicon built from financial conference call logs. We present a method to generate a sentiment lexicon based upon an existing probabilistic approach. By using a domain-specific lexicon, we outperform traditional techniques and demonstrate that domain-specific sentiment lexicons provide higher accuracy than generic sentiment lexicons when predicting stock price change.

Sentiment analysis is a sub-domain of opinion mining where the analysis is focused on the extraction of emotions and opinions of the people towards a particular topic from a structured, semi-structured, or unstructured textual data. In this chapter, the authors try to focus the task of sentiment analysis on IMDB movie review database. This chapter presents the experimental work on a new kind of domain-specific feature-based heuristic for aspect-level sentiment analysis of movie reviews. The authors have devised an aspect-oriented scheme that analyzes the textual reviews of a movie and assign it a sentiment label on each aspect. Finally, the authors conclude that incorporating syntactical information in the models is vital to the sentiment analysis process. The authors also conclude that the proposed approach to sentiment classification supplements the existing rating movie rating systems used across the web and will serve as base to future researches in this domain.

In this paper tweets available on social media about USD/INR exchange rate, BSE Sensex, NSE Nifty have been collected and Sentiment Analysis using R programming has been performed. A sentiment score has been obtained for each of the sentences and also word cloud plot have been obtained. In this paper twitter feeds are collected using the keywords: USD/INR, #USD/INR, #BSE, #Sensex, #NSE. For the purpose of obtaining the tweets, R programming is used. In this study to obtain the word cloud plot, the sentiment has been classified across 8 categories viz Anticipation, anger, trust, surprise, sadness, joy, fear and disgust. On a day to day basis, Sentiment Analysis gives the overall sentiment on a given day stating if the sentiment for a given day is either Positive or Negative or whether it is Neutral. It also breaks down the tweets into various categories which help in identifying the moods of the investors not only by the sentiment but also by the number of tweets. Further, the word cloud plot offers a simple and effective way of capturing the key events or news which was discussed on Twitter. Sentiment analysis can be used effectively by investors to make a prediction of what direction the stock price movements will happen based on the sentiment prevailing in the market. This study also shows how R programming can be used to perform sentiment analysis on the stock price movement based on twitter feeds. Word cloud can be used to visualize text data in which the size of each word cloud denotes its significance.

This article describes how with the tremendous popularity in the usage of social media has led to the explosive growth in unstructured data available on various social networking sites. Sentiment analysis of textual data collected from such platforms has become an important research area. In this article, the sentiment classification approach which employs an emotion detection technique is presented. To identify the emotions this paper uses the NRC lexicon based approach for identifying polarity of emotions. A score is computed to quantify emotions obtained from NRC lexicon approach. The method proposed has been tested on twitter datasets of government policies and reforms, more about current NDA government initiatives in India. The polarity components apply and classify the tweets into eight predefined emotions. This article performs both quantitative and sentiment analysis processes with the objective of analyzing the opinion conveyed to each social content, assign a category (+ve, -ve & neutral) or numbered sentiment score. The assigned scores have been classified using six different machine classification algorithms. Good classification results are achieved with the data.

Sentiment analysis has been widely used in text mining of social media to discover valuable information from user reviews. Sentiment lexicon is an essential tool for sentiment analysis. Recent research studies indicate that constructing sentiment lexicons for special domains can achieve better results in sentiment analysis. However, it is not easy to construct a sentiment lexicon for a specific domain because most current methods highly depend on general sentiment lexicons and complex linguistic rules. In this paper, the construction of sentiment lexicon is transformed into a training-optimization process. In our scheme, the accuracy of sentiment classification is used as the optimization objective. The candidate sentiment lexicons are regarded as the individuals that need to be optimized. Then, two genetic algorithms are specially designed to adjust the values of sentiment words in lexicon. Finally, the best individual evolved in the presented genetic algorithms is selected as the sentiment lexicon. Our method only depends on some labelled texts and does not need any linguistic knowledge or prior knowledge. It provides a simple and easy way to construct a sentiment lexicon in a specific domain. Experiment results show that the proposed method has good flexibility and can generate high-quality sentiment lexicon in specific domains.

To date, there is a paucity of research conducting natural language processing (NLP) on the open-ended responses of behavior rating scales. Using three NLP lexicons for sentiment analysis of the open-ended responses of the Behavior Assessment System for Children-Third Edition, the researchers discovered a moderately positive correlation between the human composite rating and the sentiment score using each of the lexicons for strengths comments and a slightly positive correlation for the concerns comments made by guardians and teachers. In addition, the researchers found that as the word count increased for open-ended responses regarding the child’s strengths, there was a greater positive sentiment rating. Conversely, as word count increased for open-ended responses regarding child concerns, the human raters scored comments more negatively. The authors offer a proof-of-concept to use NLP-based sentiment analysis of open-ended comments to complement other data for clinical decision making.
