I can say yes, currently sentiment analysis is a very important topic in several contexts (economy, social, marketing, ...).

Good luck.

sentiment analysis is limited to some experts only but I feel students should be taught as part of curricular to face future challenge.

Ofcourse sentiment analysis is a good topic for an MS project, especially now, since it is becoming a standard in many different organizations (including political, commercial, governmental, etc.). With the massive amount of sentiment data being generated online every hour, sentiment analysis has become a reliable model to use and invest in. Companies implement it to find out what people like (or don't) about their products, political orgs implement it for political campaigns, and stock agents implement it to predict changes in stocks.

HI Mhamed,

Thank you for your response.

John

Thank you Ajit Jumar for your feedback. It appears our views are aligned.

Good evening Saad,

I concur, give the tremendous amount of unstructured data, understanding customer sentiment is important!

I agree Manoj with your point. I further think advanced degree curriculum should understand the many variables prior to conducting an sentiment exercise. Thanks for your well wishes!

Yes, it is. I did a postgraduate project at Warsaw University of Technology related to our Polish presidential elections on Twitter back in 2015. It seems that the concept of automated sentiment analysis is developing alongside the growth in our understanding of Natural Language Processing and better Text/Speech Mining techniques. You could consider using tools developed under CLARIN-EU framework, depending on your specific project goals (e.g. https://clarin-pl.eu/en/). I hope it helps.
