What are the Approaches to Sentiment Analysis?
There are three main approaches used:
Rule-based
Over here, the lexicon method, tokenization, and parsing come in the rule-based. The approach is that counts the number of positive and negative words in the given dataset. If the number of positive words is greater than the number of negative words then the sentiment is positive else vice-versa.
Machine Learning
This approach works on the machine learning technique. Firstly, the datasets are trained and predictive analysis is done. The next process is the extraction of words from the text is done. This text extraction can be done using different techniques such as Naive Bayes, Support Vector machines, hidden Markov model, and conditional random fields like this machine learning techniques are used.
Neural Network
In the last few years neural networks have evolved at a very rate. It involves using artificial neural networks, which are inspired by the structure of the human brain, to classify text into positive, negative, or neutral sentiments. it has Recurrent neural networks, Long short-term memory, Gated recurrent unit, etc to process sequential data like text.
Hybrid Approach
It is the combination of two or more approaches i.e. rule-based and Machine Learning approaches. The surplus is that the accuracy is high compared to the other two approaches.
What is Sentiment Analysis?
Sentiment analysis is a popular task in natural language processing. The goal of sentiment analysis is to classify the text based on the mood or mentality expressed in the text, which can be positive negative, or neutral.
