Dart Sentiment #


AFINN-based sentiment analysis for dart
Dart Sentiment is a dart package that uses
the AFINN-165
wordlist
and Emoji Sentiment Ranking
to perform sentiment analysis on arbitrary
blocks of input text. Dart Sentiment provides several things:

Provide Language support for English, Italian, French and German.
Provide support for various emojis.
Based on analysis of text, provide an integer value in the range -n to +n (see details below)

Installation #

How it works #
AFINN #
AFINN is a list of words rated for valence with an integer between minus five (negative) and plus
five (positive). Sentiment analysis is performed by cross-checking the string tokens (words, emojis)
with the AFINN list and getting their respective scores. The comparative score is
simply: sum of each token / number of tokens. So for example let's take the following:
I love cats, but I am allergic to them.
That string results in the following:
{
score: 1,
comparative: 0.1111111111111111,
tokens: [
"i",
"love",
"cats",
"but",
"i",
"am",
"allergic",
"to",
"them"
],
positive: [[love, 3]],
negative: [[allergic, 2]]
}

Returned Objects

Score: Score calculated by adding the sentiment values of recognized words.
Comparative: Comparative score of the input string.
Token: All the tokens like words or emojis found in the input string.
Words: List of words from input string that were found in AFINN list.
Positive: List of positive words in input string that were found in AFINN list.
Negative: List of negative words in input string that were found in AFINN list.



In this case, love has a value of 3, allergic has a value of -2, and the remaining tokens are
neutral with a value of 0. Because the string has 9 tokens the resulting comparative score looks
like: (3 + -2) / 9 = 0.111111111
This approach leaves you with a mid-point of 0 and the upper and lower bounds are constrained to
positive and negative 5 respectively. For example, let's imagine an incredibly "positive" string
with 200 tokens and where each token has an AFINN score of 5. Our resulting comparative score would
look like this:
(max positive score * number of tokens) / number of tokens (5 * 200) / 200 = 5
