Creating sentiment analysis models

Sentiment analysis detects the sentiment of a text unit, for example, to find out whether a product review was positive or negative. Knowledge about customers' sentiments can be very important because customers often share their opinions, reactions, and attitudes toward products and services in social media and communicate directly through chat channels.
