Sentida is a Danish sentiment analysis tool. Sentida sentiment-scores sentences by the word, and gives either a mean sentiment score or a total score. Sentida uses sophisticated methods to take adverb-modifiers, exclamation marks and negations into account when sentiment-scoring.

The sentida function takes in a string and an output argument. The output argument can be the default "total" or "mean". Output = "total" will provide an accumulated sentiment score for the string. Output = "mean" will provide a mean sentiment score per word in the string.

The sentida function in the Sentida class takes four arguments: The input text, the desired output, normalization, and the desired speed / accuracy prioritization. "mean" and "total" return a single float value and "by_sentence_mean" and "by_sentence_total" return a list of length equal to the amount of sentences.
Speed can be set to fast for a much less accurate but 180% faster implementation.
from sentida import Sentida
Sentida().sentida(
text,
output = ["mean", "total", "by_sentence_mean", "by_sentence_total"],
normal = True,
speed = ["normal", "fast"]
)
Sentida in a political context:
Total score:
sentida("Abort er mord", output = "total") -> -4.67
Mean score:
sentida("Abort er mord", output = "mean") -> -1.56
Effect of exclamation mark:
sentida("Abort er mord!", output = "total") -> -6.02
Sentida in a commercial context:
Total score:
sentida("Colgate er godt og smager dejligt", output = "total") -> 5
Effect of adverb modifiers:
sentida("Colgate er godt og smager mega dejligt", output = "total") -> 5.8
Effect of negations:
sentida("Colgate er ikke godt og smager ikke dejligt", output = "total") <- -4.34
Working with æøå in R can cause certain problems. When workin with R in mac os, it is necessary to run the following code, in order to work with æøå.
Sys.setlocale(category = "LC_ALL", locale = "UTF-8")
Furthermore, encoding necessary files in UTF-8 format, will make æøå accessible to Rstudio.
Sentida has been created by three Cognitive Science bachelor students at Aarhus University:
