Abstract

Social Networks have become an important part of people’s life as they share their day-to-day happenings, portray their opinions on various topics or find out information related to their queries. Due to the overwhelming volume of tweets generated on a daily basis, it is not possible to read all the tweets and differentiate the tweets based on the views or the attitude they portray only. The primary objective of sentiment analysis is to find out the attitude/emotion/opinion/sentiment that is present in the material provided. Commonly, the tweets can be clustered on the basis of them being positive or negative i.e. being in favour of the topic or being against the topic. The clustering and indexing of the tweets help in the organisation, searching, and summarisation of task. Twitter data are considered as Big Data and the information contained within the tweets is unstructured and if utilised properly can be very useful for educational and governance purposes. In this paper, a method is presented which clusters and then indexes the tweets on the basis of the sentiments and emoticons that are present in the tweet.
