This paper presents a sentiment analysis solution on tweets using Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs). The method is can classifying tweets with an 80.74% accuracy rate, considering a binary task, after experimenting with 20 different design approaches. The solution integrates an attention mechanism aiming to enhance the network, with a two-way localization system: at memory cell level and at network level. We present an in-depth literature review for Twitter sentiment analysis and the building blocks that grounded the design decisions of our solution, employed as a core classification component within a sentiment indicator of the SynergyCrowds platform.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
