摘要：This study is an exploratory analysis of applying natural language processing techniques such as Term Frequency-Inverse Document Frequency and Sentiment Analysis on Twitter data. The uniqueness of this work is established by determining the overall sentiment of a politician’s tweets based on TF-IDF values of terms used in their published tweets. By calculating the TF-IDF value of terms from the corpus, this work displays the correlation between TF-IDF score and polarity. The results of this work show that calculating the TF-IDF score of the corpus allows for a more accurate representation of the overall polarity since terms are given a weight based on their uniqueness and relevance rather than just the frequency at which they appear in the corpus.
