#ComputationalLinguistics #SentimentAnalysis

Poking around with sentiment analysis on the public domain copy of Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen.

I extracted the speech, did a strict attribution, and ran sentiment analysis for different speakers based off chunks sampled from the text.

Elizabeth is neutral with a 28% confidence level, Jane is joyful at a 57% confidence. Darcy is sad with 94% confidence and Mrs Bennet is joyful at 95% confidence.

Those aren't the emotions I get from reading the text. Again, I'm learning more about the sentiment analysis than the text.

Social Listening, Brand Monitoring & Analytics, One API Handles All of It

Not all social media APIs are built the same. Some track conversations, some measure performance, and some flag brand mentions the moment they go live. Understanding which type fits your goal can completely change how you use social data — and how fast you act on it.

Spent some time doing data analysis on the Project Gutenberg text of Pride and Prejudice.

Pulling out all the speech, the library I used said it was "emotionally neutral" in sentiment. Which is interesting because when you read it, the speech is absolutely not that. There's a lot in the subtleties of the speech that makes it very pointed.

The confidence on the emotional rating was 57%, which seems low to me. Doing analysis on a book I'm familiar with and recently read is telling me as much about the means of evaluating the text as the text itself.
