SUMMARY
We conducted large-scale sentiment analysis on 1 million English and French social media phrases for a client-supplied dataset. Native language experts classified each statement as Positive, Neutral, or Negative. The five-month project focused on accurately interpreting diverse tone, context, and emotion from real user-generated content.
