How to use the Classification

The 'Classification' will give you an overview of all the detected categories, the underlying topics, the number of texts containing this category and topic, the Net Sentiment, as well as the corresponding sentiment: the number of texts with the positive topic sentiment, number of texts with the negative topic sentiment, and number of texts with the neutral topic sentiment.

Net Sentiment = [(count of positive terms - count of negative terms)/ total count of terms] *100

Topic-Volume Net Sentiment Visualisation (Bubble Chart)

In the Topic module you can switch between the table view and bubble chart visualisation:

The bubble chart view is particularly useful to identify high impactful/critical topics easily:
It shows you the volume of a specific topic on the y-axis and the net sentiment in % on the x-axis. As an example, the further a topic is on the right and the further it is at the top, the more people talk about it positively.

When hovering over the bubble of a specific topic you will get more details such as the category of this topic, the Net sentiment, and the volume (=number of mentions).

You can also select a topic to get more insights and a view of the posts:

Note: When switching back to the table-view of the Topic module the previous selection will be kept!
