While many methods exist for identifying sentiment in OSNs such as communication pattern mining and classification based on emoticon and parts of speech, the majority of them utilize a suboptimal batch mode learning approach when analyzing a large amount of real time data. As an alternative we present a stream algorithm using Modified Balanced Winnow for sentiment analysis on OSNs. Tested on three real-world network datasets, the performance of our sentiment predictions is close to that of batch learning with the ability to detect important features dynamically for sentiment analysis in data streams. These top features reveal key words important to the analysis of sentiment.展开更多

Numerous methods of determining the sentiment of tweets, both in general and in regard to a specific topic, have been developed, however most of these functions are in a batch learning environment where instances may be passed over multiple times. Since Twitter data in real world situations are far similar to a stream environment, we proposed several algorithms which classify the sentiment of tweets in a data stream. We were able to determine whether a tweet was subjective or objective with an error rate as low as 0.24 and an F-score as high as 0.85. For the determination of positive or negative sentiment in subjective tweets, an error rate as low as 0.23 and an F-score as high as 0.78 were achieved.展开更多
