ABSTRACT
Twitter is a platform widely used by people to express their opinions and display sentiments on different occasions. Sentiment analysis is an approach to analyze data and retrieve sentiment that it embodies. Twitter sentiment analysis is an application of sentiment analysis on data from Twitter (tweets), in order to extract sentiments conveyed by the user. In the past decades, the research in this field has consistently grown. The reason behind this is the challenging format of the tweets which makes the processing difficult. The tweet format is very small which generates a whole new dimension of problems like use of slang, abbreviations etc. In this paper, we aim to review some papers regarding research in sentiment analysis on Twitter, describing the methodologies adopted and models applied, along with describing a generalized Python based approach.
