Course Overview

Sentiment analysis or opinion mining is concerned with extracting opinionated content, and analysing it to provide some clue on how users feel about an issue/thing/service/product, and so on. There are currently many packages in different programming languages (e.g. R, Python) for mining data from social media sites. This makes it easy for anyone (data analysts, executives) to obtain social media data for garnering insights into behaviours and sentiments. The ability to handle and make use of unstructured data would prove useful. This course covers the concepts and tools useful for performing analysis on social media data such as tweets and reviews. Participants will be able to perform text analytics, sentiment analysis, as well as social network analysis.
