Introduction

● Weather issues:○ Too hot, too cold, too wet, et cetera○ Does the weather affect people’s mood?

The application:● Data used:

○ Tweets○ Weather data (temperature, precipitation, cloudiness)

● Analysis: ○ Classification of tweets○ Filtering

● Virtualization:○ Average sentiment of tweets vs. weather elements (per

day)○ ChartJS, Bootstrap

Code:

● How does the application work:○ Long, Lat retrieval via Google Maps API○ Weather data - World Weather Online (JSON).○ Tweets - Twitter API (filtered by long,lat,lang,date)

■ Tweets re-formatted (JSON)■ Tweets sent to Sentiment140 API

● Returned data is displayed in graphs using a ChartJS script.

Progress - What we have so far...

Burdon to join cummunity decreased

due to prefilled information and access

via Facebook account

Higher value for the user because even

not registered users are participating

„missuse“ of information

NLP techniques are really weak and

have a low accuracy

Thanks!

#analyzing Twitter’s Trending Topics

The Social Web, 2014

Group 8: Ans de Nijs, Matthijs Rijken, Lia Sterkenburg

Why this solution?

Our goal: Inform people on specific topics and how they developed over time.

•  People may not know what trending – or certain other – topics are about on Twitter.

Our solution: Visualization of trending topics as word clouds combined with insight on the explosion of tweets over time with sentiment analysis if the tweets are about good or bad news.

Analysis of existing tools

•  Twistori (sentiment keyword search) à

•  We feel fine (feeling analysis) à

•  I-logue (trending topic word cloud)

Data

•  Twitter Tweets (100s - 1000s) •  Text

•  Timestamps

•  Extract keywords

Approach

1.  Use Twitter API •  GET search/tweets (Matthijs)

2.  Use Python packages •  Textblob (sentiment analysis - Ans)

•  Visualize sentiments of tweets over time in a cloud

•  Pytagcloud (word cloud visualization - Lia) •  Extract tags based on word frequencies

•  Important words are displayed larger

Smart part

•  Filter out ‘meaningless’ words (e.g. ‘of ’, ‘that’) and process the ones that really matter •  Provide a condensed view of a trending topic in a word cloud.

•  Sentiment over time: shows changing opinions
