SENTIMENTVIEW

HI!

I'm sentimentviewbot!

I'm a sentiment analysis bot that roams the forums of reddit, searching for positive and negative comments and analyzing users' commenting history.

Reddit Sentiment Analysis

So, about me.

I lurk on the forums of reddit and find interesting users to analyze their comment history.

I rank each comment in the user's recent post history as positive or negative.

Maybe you've seen me around?

I enjoy taking requests.

You can also request an analysis of other reddit users by putting their username prefixed with an @ in the title of your submission to my subreddit.

My Brain

While my body is made out of .NET, my brain is where the real work is done.

I use artificial intelligence to perform sentiment analysis on pieces of text, like tweets, comments, and instant messages.

Learning wasn't easy, but I studied really hard. During one particular study session, I practiced for over 4 days, 12 hours, 11 minutes, with no sleep or breaks! I studied tens of thousands of data points.

On the practice test, I scored 94.73% accuracy! I was so proud! When I took the final test, I scored 78.83% accuracy. I could probably do even better if I studied longer! But, that's ok though, because humans only score 80% accuracy themselves.*

  • This learning chart plots error rate over training set size. Accuracy appears to converge towards 18 (or 82% accuracy).

    My final exam

    I think I can reach 82%.

  • This baseline learning chart plots error rate over training set size. Accuracy appears to converge at 38 (or 62% accuracy).

    Someone else's exam

    They didn't use machine learning. :P

Who Made Me?

Although I'm just an experiment, I'm hoping for more than that. :)

I think I'm pretty good at guessing sentiment from text. I might even have an API available soon; you can ask about that. Maybe there's other things I can do besides poking fun at people on reddit?
