Sentiment analysis determines the positive or negative sentiment of language by identifying sentiment-bearing words and terms and evaluating how closely they relate to the topic or query. Sentiment is reported as percentages of positive, negative, and neutral discussions or as a sentiment score ranging from -5 to 5. The analysis considers the proximity and proportion of positive and negative terms to topic words to determine the score. While the analysis aims to accurately assess sentiment, challenges remain like determining sentiment in sarcasm or when product names contain sentiment terms. Setting core terms allows the analysis to focus on specific keywords or phrases.

Sentiment is based on language analysis. Words and terms are identified as positive or negative and then evaluated by how closely they correlate to the terms in the query or topic. In saved topics “core terms” can be set and the sentiment analysis is focused on those terms. Certain common terms generally not meant to reflect sentiment but contain sentiment terms are excluded, i.e. “good morning” or “good night.”
How is sentiment reported?
There are two ways sentiment is reported – sentiment score and percentage of discussion. Once a message is deemed positive, negative or neutral the percentage of the score can be displayed. In bar and pie charts all three percentages are shown and in trend charts positive and negative are shown. Sentiment score ranges from -5 points (negative) to 5 points (positive) at one decimal intervals.
How does the analysis work?
First a message is analyzed to see if sentiment in the message can be determined and if not it is considered neutral. During positive/negative analysis the level of how positive or negative is considered for sentiment score. The proximity of positive or negative words to the topic words impact the score. The proportion of positive to negative incidence of messages is reflected in the score. Score would go up from good to very good to great and down from bad to very bad to worst.
Are there any flaws or concerns?
While years of work in this analysis have gone into our analysis, since it is language based there are challenges. Sarcasm is the most difficult element to overcome. Words in product or event names can unexpectedly skew results. It is very hard to assess a statement like “My new Resident Evil game is great.”
Running Sentiment Reports
Based on the complexity of the analysis sentiment reports regularly take longer to complete. They can take up to 60 minutes to run. Setting the core terms allows the analysis to focus on the appropriate terms and tends to increase accuracy. When making your determination of the core term, pick only those keywords or phrases for which you want sentiment analysis applied. For example, give a topic expression: Cadbury AND (chocolate OR cocoa OR candy or fudge) AND NOT (soda OR coffee or mints) … … if you wish to assure that sentiment aligns to the product name, choose as the core term only the keyword: Cadbury. Under no circumstances should you select terms that are found in the AND NOT clause (in the example above, do not choose soda, coffee, mints for core terms).
