Nice work! I wonder if this can be automated? Also, perhaps sentiment can be tracked over time by supplying a set of posts from week to week.

kernels ; battery ; ROM ; gov/sched
Now with summaries in the first posts. Convenient for XDA app users!

[ROM][4.0.4]Slim ICS 68MB- Clean, Simple & Fast - The Google Way
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1390118

http://sentimentanalyzer.appspot.com/

And: http://text-processing.com/demo/sentiment/ gives 70% negative


EDIT: Again, this sentiment analysis stuff is a work in progress. tchaari is helping to improve the accuracy, but we may need to change the way we mine the data from the threads.

Found this: http://wiki.metalayer.com/index.php?title=API_Sentiment

I can do this in windows:

curl http://api.metalayer.com/s/datalayer/1/sentiment -d "text=In 1972, a crack commando unit was sent to prison by ... A-Team."

Returns a slightly negative sentiment. (-0.5 on a scale from -5 to 5)

...using this version of curl: http://www.paehl.com/open_source/?CURL_7.24.0
(top most download)


I also found this list of sites: https://sites.google.com/site/twitte...ther-resources

These people seem to have a nice service (including a free option): http://www.alchemyapi.com/api/gstarted.html

...and there is an SDK so I may try to integrate this directly into my C++ program rather than relying on curl.

Yes bedalus. It can be automated. A HTTP request (call of a web page from a program with strings at the place of input box) can be done using any language curl, C++, Java...
This is discussion about how to do it in C++

Wow, programming is amazing. I'll try to build that example into a c++ program tomorrow. Then I'll see if I can do a full page of text to the api (there is a character limit). I'll aim to attach dates too.

http://www.alchemyapi.com/api/sentiment/textc.html

The above link gave me a slightly positive rating for my rank of word-triples for Slim ICS, whereas other sites had given negative. After looking at the word triples manually, it seems the sentiment is definitely positive. I think this is a good sign that the api will prove to be reliable... perhaps it will be more reliable with virgin text. Exciting!

UPDATE: Checked my original program for tallying threads worked when threads got longer. Expected behaviour was to only read the necessary pages and update the .dat file. Unfortunately, it reads the new pages, and replaces the .dat file. Fixed now (I think... I have to wait until a thread gets longer to test).

I cannot understand how to integrate curl into c++ so I will just use system calls and place a prebuilt curl program in system32. It's an easy workaround.

UPDATE: Nearly have it working.

I have threads sending their entire text (but no quotes) to the sentiment api in 400 word chunks, with scores returned.

I plan to share the results as a graph.

wow, this is very very interesting bedalus. Are you interested to mount a software engineering company with me? lol
EDIT: I am thinking about the next challenge: smoothness benchmark

Don't know if I'll have the time to go global...

Program now works completely. I can't share it yet, I just need to write a method to import my private key from a file. Then other people can use it (but would need to get their own key). It wouldn't be much work, but unless I get demand for that, I actually think will just keep it private for now.

... because now it's working well, I will start working on a public chart!

EDIT: Okay, here's the new graph format, shows the accumulation of sentiment. So far only NexusMV (CM9 base) visible.
