Microsoft's Cognitive Services team have created the Sentiment Analysis API that uses machine learning to determine the sentiment of uploaded text. And the best part is, we don't need to be machine learning experts to use it.
I just submit the text as a POST Request:
{
"documents": [
{
"language": "en",
"id": "251c99d7-1f89-426a-a3ad-c6fa1b34f020",
"text": "I hope you find time to actually get your reports done today."
}
]
}And the API returns back its sentiment score:
{
"sentiment": {
"documents": [
{
"id": "251c99d7-1f89-426a-a3ad-c6fa1b34f020",
"score": 0.776355504989624
}
]
}The sentiment score ranges between 0 and 1.
Scores close to 0 indicate negative sentiment, while scores close to 1 indicate positive sentiment.
