Sentiment Analysis

Hello All,

 

I have these sentences "i have no problem with any thing l ask l get as the comment saying no worries thanks" or  "i have not really had any problems with ... over the years. and i have no reason to not give a good mark." When I used the sentiment analysis, the sentiment category is negative. Is there any way to get positive for these two sentences?

 

Thanks a lot for your help!

Hi @Azadeh ,

 

are you referring to the "Sentiment Analysis" tool of the Text Mining Category?

This tool is working with the VADER algorithm:

For your mentioned example, there are better alternatives to VADER.

 

I recommend that you use a Python tool and leverage another existing Python library instead.

I am not an expert, but Feature- based or Embedding-based methods could perform better for your case:

I hope this gives you a good starting point.

 

Best regards

Phil
