  • Methods and apparatus for sentiment analysis
    Patent number: 10929605
    Abstract: Analysis is enabled, of a corpus of statements (such as those from social media), according to each statement's expression of sentiment about some kind of object. Object-specific corpuses are identified, where each object-specific corpus contains statements that refer to a same object. For each statement of an object-specific corpus, the polarity and intensity of sentiment expressed is determined. Net polarity and intensity measures are determined for each object-specific corpus and utilized to graph the corpus in a two-dimensional space. The area of the graphical symbol, representative of an object-specific corpus, can be proportional to the number (absolute or relative) of statements of the object-specific corpus. Brands can be compared, with each brand represented by an object-specific corpus. A single brand can have shown, relative to a temporal dimension, the net polarity, net intensity, or volume of its statements. Net polarity is shown to have a strong correlation with survey-based techniques.
