Sentiment Analysis

Analysis of meaning is the method of interpreting a piece of text in order to explain the context behind it. Analysis of sentiment has proved useful in understanding emotions such as frustration, pleasure, and sorrow, helping developers to create smarter apps with deeper visibility into textual content.

A common cause of usage is the study of social media commentaries to explain the kind of material being shared on the site. Companies like Facebook and Twitter use certain kinds of algorithms for sentiment analysis to weed out offensive posts.
While the algorithms used in implementations of real-world sentiment analysis are very complicated, the theory behind an analysis of sentiments is clear.

AWS Console

First login to the AWS console and then click on the services select the AWS to comprehend and click over that and then you will be taken to the AWS comprehend console.

after that click on the launch amazon comprehend button as shown in the above image, and then you have two options custom or built-in analysis type.

select the built-in option and write some text in the input text box and then click on the analyze button in the downside as shown in the above image.

If the review is complete, in addition to an overview of emotions, the Observations section offers general perspectives regarding the article. To view the review’s sentiment ratings, press the ‘Sentiment’ tab.

You can analysis like this as shown above or you can follow the whole procedure to analyze and save the sentiment file in s3.

• create an IAM role
• Create an S3 bucket
• Create the lambda function and write the following code

import boto3
from pprint import pprint
def lambda_handler(event, context):
    s3 = boto3.client("s3")
    bucket = "lambdacomprehendset12"
    key = "paragraph.txt"
    file = s3.get_object(Bucket = bucket, Key = key)
    paragraph = str(file['Body'].read())
comprehend = boto3.client("comprehend")
#Extracting sentiments using comprehend
    sentiment = comprehend.detect_sentiment(Text = paragraph, LanguageCode = "en")
    print(sentiment)
    
   #Extracting entities using comprehend
    entities = comprehend.detect_entities(Text = paragraph, LanguageCode = "en")
    pprint(entities)
    
    #Extracting keyphrase using comprehend
    keyphrase = comprehend.detect_key_phrases(Text = paragraph, LanguageCode = "en")
    pprint(keyphrase)
    
    return 'Thanks'
