Sentiment Analysis tool - default Categorical Sentiment to -0.5 and 0.5

Hello,
Currently, the Sentiment analysis tool will score textual data by use of a Compound_Sentiment_Score, which is effectively a score from -1(negative) to 1(positive). 

 

The tool is great, in that it has a built-in classification function so that we can say that anything under -0.5 we want to label as negative, and anything over 0.5 we want to label as positive.

 

However currently, the defaults are set to:

TheOC_0-1653665068657.png



Which effectively creates a negative-weighted classification, as anything from -1 to -0.1 are classified as negative. -1 to 0.5 are labelled as neutral, and 0.5 to 1 are labelled as positive.

 

My suggestion would be to change the default max negative classification to 0.5, to level the weighting of the tools scoring.

 

 

Thanks,
TheOC
