TLDR
The emerging fields of affective computing and sentiment analysis, which leverage human-computer interaction, information retrieval, and multimodal signal processing for distilling people's sentiments from the ever-growing amount of online social data.
Abstract
Understanding emotions is an important aspect of personal development and growth, and as such it is a key tile for the emulation of human intelligence. Besides being important for the advancement of AI, emotion processing is also important for the closely related task of polarity detection. The opportunity to automatically capture the general public's sentiments about social events, political movements, marketing campaigns, and product preferences has raised interest in both the scientific community, for the exciting open challenges, and the business world, for the remarkable fallouts in marketing and financial market prediction. This has led to the emerging fields of affective computing and sentiment analysis, which leverage human-computer interaction, information retrieval, and multimodal signal processing for distilling people's sentiments from the ever-growing amount of online social data.

Mining and summarizing customer reviews

TL;DR: This research aims to mine and to summarize all the customer reviews of a product, and proposes several novel techniques to perform these tasks.

Thumbs up? Sentiment Classiflcation using Machine Learning Techniques

TL;DR: In this paper, the problem of classifying documents not by topic, but by overall sentiment, e.g., determining whether a review is positive or negative, was considered and three machine learning methods (Naive Bayes, maximum entropy classiflcation, and support vector machines) were employed.
