Our approach

In this chapter, we are going to leverage dictionary and machine learning methods.

Look at the steps we are going to follow:

After extracting our text, we are going to use the dictionary-based approach to first give sentiment scores to the extracted tweets. Later, we will manually verify if the scores are good. This is our gold set of data for building a classifier. We divide this data into two sets, one we will use for training our classifier, and the other we will use to test our classifier. Since we don't have any pre-labeled tweet data, we are following this approach.

Let us now proceed to build our gold dataset using a sentiment ...
