PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Social data analytics

Social data analytics comprises two main constituent parts:
1) Data generated from social networking sites (or through social applications),
and
2) Sophisticated analysis of that data, in many cases requiring real-time (or near
real-time) data analytics, measurements which understand and appropriately
weigh factors such as influence, reach, and relevancy, an understanding of the
context of the data being analyzed, and the inclusion of time horizon
considerations. In short, social data analytics involves the analysis of social media
in order to understand and surface insights which is embedded within the data.
Twitter is an amazing micro blogging tool and an extraordinary communication
medium. In addition, twitter can also be an amazing open mine for text and social
web analyses.
In this project Twitter Analysis , we need to performed the Sentiment
Analysis and Text Mining techniques on #Putin, the Russian President or on any
trending personality or event. This project can done in R or Python which uses the
libraries of R/python programming languages.
Sentiment analysis, also referred to as Opinion Mining, implies extracting
opinions, emotions and sentiments in text. The main idea is to determine whether
they are viewed positively or negatively by a given audience.
The purpose of Text Mining is to process unstructured (textual) information,
extract meaningful numeric indices from the text, and, thus, make the information
contained in the text accessible to the various data mining algorithms.
Information can be extracted to derive summaries for the words contained in the
documents or to compute summaries for the documents based on the words
contained in them.
Following packages can be used in R- twitterR, RoAuth, plyr, stringr, ggplot2.
Twitter Analysis:
Creating a Twitter Application -> Saving Tweets -> Sentiment Function -> Scoring
tweets and adding column -> Import the csv file -> Visualizing the tweets ->
Analysis & Conclusion
Text Analysis:
Final code for Twitter Analysis -> Final code for Text Mining
