Sentiment analysis of text messages using ensemble of classifiers

Abstract

The recent growth of social networks and digital inclusion have allowed users to express their opinions through the Internet. This fact has changed the way companies provide customer services and how costumers express their opinions.Nowaday, reports indicate that social networks are one of the most widely used digital media. Some studies show that the time spent in such environments is usually shared with relevant tasks, such as work and study. In this way, due to lack of time, text messages are often written with rife of idioms, symbols and abbreviations commonly employed to compress the original message in order to type quickly and avoid the size limit imposed by the enviroment. Automatically detect the polarity of messages is still a scientific challenge that has attracted the attention of both the market and academy since its application is wide, such as to estimate the popularity of a candidate within his electorate, to infer whether a product is being well rated by their customers, among many others. Beyond such examples, detect the polarity of messages can also help companies understand the opinion of a large amount of customers regarding marketed products. In addition, it could assist consumers intentioned to buy a product know the consensus opinion of other customers.The need to analyze many different sources with large volumes of opinions establishes a potential way for scientific research. In this scenario, this project proposes a system for detecting messages polarity with ensemble and techiniques for increasing the feature space. (AU)
