Abstract

The way of expressing people’s views, opinions and Sentiments about others has been changed due to the growth of Technology of World Wide Web. Mostly people use blogs, Social sites, online discussions etc. for expressing their views. Massive amount of data is generated because of this. Companies face many problems in storing this massive data. This paper helps in analysis of sentiments of the data fetched from twitter using R language which either collects the information in the form of positive, negative or neutral score. After this the fetched data is pre-processed i.e. all the slang words, misspelled words etc. are removed. Using R language and Hadoop Connector we perform the analysis of twitter data which has size of TB’s also known as big data. R language and Hadoop tool are the two different platforms on which the performance estimation will be based on.
