This article discusses a complete overview of the method for completing this task as well as the applications of sentiment analysis. Then, it evaluates, compares, and investigates the approaches used to gain a comprehensive understanding of their advan- tages and disadvantages.Word2vec is a technique for natural language processing (NLP) published in 2013. The word2vec algorithm uses a neural network model to learn word associations from a large corpus of text. Once trained, such a model can detect synonymous words or suggest additional words for a partial sentence.uses document-level sentiment annotations to constrain words expressing similar sentiment to have simi-lar representations.

Abstract:Sentiment analysis is an important task in natural language processing (NLP).One of the key challenges in sentiment analysis is to model compositional sentiment semantics.

Besides, the word “not” changes the sentiment of “really funny ...i.e. aspect sentiment classification, we define a context window of size 5 around each aspect term and consider all the tokens within the window for an instance.

Sentiment analysis granularity is subdivided into document level, sentence level, and aspect level. Document-level sentiment analysis takes the entire document as a unit, but the premise is that the document needs to have a clear attitude orientation—that is, the point of view needs to be clear (Shirsat et al. 2018; Wang and Wan 2011).Supervised contrastive learning gives an aligned representation of sentiment expressions with the same sentiment label. In embedding space, explicit and implicit sentiment expressions with the same sentiment orientation are pulled together, and those with different sentiment labels are pushed apart. on a scale from 1-5). The sentiment of text is a measure of the speaker’s tone, attitude, or evaluation of a topic, independent of the topic’s own sentiment orientation (e.g., a horror movie can be \delightful.") Sentiment analysis is a well-studied subject in computational text analysis and has a correspondingly rich history of prior work. 2Sentiment analysis is the process of classifying whether a block of text is positive, negative, or, neutral. The goal which Sentiment analysis tries to gain is to be analyzed people’s opinions in a way that can help businesses expand.
