Aspect-Based Sentiment Analysis

Overview

This software package performs aspect-based sentiment analysis. It can analyze documents and identify aspect targets, their aspect category and their relevance. For usage in live systems, it features a relevance classifier to filter irrelevant documents. JavaDoc documentation is available on the documentation page.

        AbSentiment analyzer = new AbSentiment();

        Result result = analyzer.analyzeText("This is the input string");

        // get Sentiment of text
