Social Media Data Analysis

We process social media data, e.g., Twitter data, for analyzing human behavior.

Sentiment Analysis

We develop computational approaches to classify sentiments into five categories: very negative, negative, neutral, positive, and very positive. We also conduct sentiment analysis of social media data to analyze human behavior.
