1. What is Sentiment Analysis?
The sentiment analysis in 'Sentiment Overview' is based on a post-level deep learning-based model that detects the sentiment of an entire text and towards specific topics or categories. It goes beyond keyword sentiment and instead looks at sentences and paragraphs as a whole to truly understand what sentiment is associated with what topic.
The Sentiment analysis complements category and topic analysis to convey not only what a person is talking about, but also how they feel about it.
