Abstract
Sentiment analysis in Twitter is a field that has recently attracted research interest. Twitter is one of the most popular microblog platforms on which users can publish their thoughts and opinions. Sentiment analysis in Twitter tackles the problem of analyzing the tweets in terms of the opinion they express. This survey provides an overview of the topic by investigating and briefly describing the algorithms that have been proposed for sentiment analysis in Twitter. The presented studies are categorized according to the approach they follow. In addition, we discuss fields related to sentiment analysis in Twitter including Twitter opinion retrieval, tracking sentiments over time, irony detection, emotion detection, and tweet sentiment quantification, tasks that have recently attracted increasing attention. Resources that have been used in the Twitter sentiment analysis literature are also briefly presented. The main contributions of this survey include the presentation of the proposed approaches for sentiment analysis in Twitter, their categorization according to the technique they use, and the discussion of recent research trends of the topic and its related fields.

Topic sentiment analysis in twitter: a graph-based hashtag sentiment classification approach
CIKM '11: Proceedings of the 20th ACM international conference on Information and knowledge managementTwitter is one of the biggest platforms where massive instant messages (i.e. tweets) are published every day. Users tend to express their real feelings freely in Twitter, which makes it an ideal source for capturing the opinions towards various ...
Twitter Opinion Topic Model: Extracting Product Opinions from Tweets by Leveraging Hashtags and Sentiment Lexicon
CIKM '14: Proceedings of the 23rd ACM International Conference on Conference on Information and Knowledge ManagementAspect-based opinion mining is widely applied to review data to aggregate or summarize opinions of a product, and the current state-of-the-art is achieved with Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA)-based model. Although social media data like tweets are ...
Opinion retrieval in Twitter: is proximity effective?
SAC '16: Proceedings of the 31st Annual ACM Symposium on Applied ComputingTwitter has become an important communication tool for people to share information and opinions. Although Twitter contains a large amount of opinions on various topics, it is very difficult to extract useful information from the vast amount of available ...
