The recent explosion of social networks has generated a big amount of data including user opinions about varied subjects. For classifying the sentiment of user postings, many text-based techniques have been proposed in the literature. As a continuation of sentiment analysis, there are also studies on the emotion analysis. Because of the fact that many different emotions are needed to be dealt with at this point, the problem becomes much more complicated. In this thesis, a different user-centric approach is considered that connected users may be more likely to hold similar emotions; therefore, leveraging relationship information can complement user-level sentiment inference task in social networks. Employing Twitter as a source for experimental data and working with a proposed collective classification algorithm, users whose emotions are not known on subject, are predicted in an effective and collaborative setting.

Real-Time Lexicon-Based Sentiment Analysis Experiments On Twitter With A Mild (More Information, Less Data)
Arslan, Yusuf; Birtürk, Ayşe Nur; Djumabaev, Bekjan; Kucuk, Dilek (2017-12-14)
Sentiment analysis of Twitter data is a well studied area, however, there is a need for exploring the effectiveness of real-time approaches on small data sets that only include popular and targeted tweets. In this paper, we have employed several sentiment analysis techniques by using dynamic dictionaries and models, and performed some experiments on limited but relevant datasets to understand the popularity of some terms and the opinion of users about them. The results of our experiments are promising.
