TWITTER SENTIMENTAL ANALYSIS :

Sentiment analysis is the automated process of analyzing text

data and sorting it into sentiments positive, negative, or
neutral. Using sentiment analysis tools to analyze opinions in
Twitter data can help companies and in elections to understand
how people are talking about their brand or campaign. Twitter
is an online micro-blogging and social-networking platform
which allows users to write short status updates of maximum
length 140 characters. It is a rapidly expanding service with
over 200 million registered users - out of which 100 million are
active users and half of them log on twitter on a daily basis -
generating nearly 250 million tweets per day. Due to this large
amount of usage we hope to achieve a reflection of public
sentiment by analyzing the sentiments expressed in the
tweets.

VADER: Sentimental analysis relies on a dictionary that maps

lexical features to emotion intensities known
as sentiment scores. The sentiment score of a text can be
obtained by summing up the intensity of each word in the
text.In this approach, each of the words in the lexicon is rated
as to whether it is positive or negative, and in many
cases, how positive or negative in numeral number format.

steps:
