Adoption of machine learning algorithm for analysing supporters and non supporters feedback on political posts / Ogunfolajin Maruff Tunde

Sentiment Analysis is a field that deals with the problem of identifying and extracting sentiment (or opinion) from data (particularly textual data). Studies have shown how user perception can have a strong influence on policies and decision-making processes in a place, society, and nation. This the...
