What is
Sentiment Analysis?
Sentiment Analysis is the process of identifying and categorizing opinions expressed in a piece of text (i.e. reviews, online feedback, social posts, blogs, surveys, etc.), in order to determine if the writer’s perception towards a particular product or service is positive, negative or neutral.
Typically, Sentiment Analysis is conducted through Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Artificial Intelligence (AI).
Through this technology, computers can process and analyze large amounts of natural-language data to determine the emotional tone and most discussed topics within the body text.
At Data Appeal, this text is cleaned, organized, analyzed and evaluated. Five million pieces of content are processed each hour and the outcome is what’s called Big Data. From this, we extract
invaluable information and insights relating to the perception and behaviors of individuals.
We not only provide a polarity score for each piece of content, but we also identify the main topics, themes, and opinions related to them – at both a holistic and granular level.
