About

  • This project was created so anyone can easily research real time Twitter discourse
  • Twitter is a valuable source of information regarding emotion and opinions.
  • Given that Twitter has millions of users of all backgrounds, it is the perfect resource for real-time global sentiment analysis.

Sentiment Analysis

  • This project uses the Sentiment Intensity Analyser module from the VADER Sentiment Python library to analyze text.
  • VADER (Valence Aware Dictionary and sentiment Reasoner) is a lexicon and rule-based sentiment analysis tool that is specifically attuned to sentiments expressed in social media.

Next Steps

  • The Twitter API has major limits on the amount of requests and Tweets that can be pulled which prevents more in-depth analysis
  • I am currently trying to eliminate the need for the official API by using the unofficial SNSCRAPE social media scraper which may open the door for unrestricted Tweet retrieval
  • How to simplify usage for new users
