Sentiment Monitoring of Social Media from Oceania

Social media platforms have experienced a major growth in the past few years, with people choosing to communicate, very often publicly, through social media. They disseminate information, opinions, and announcements. They also share a lot about themselves and their experiences. In particular, they often share information about how they feel. This potentially provides a wealth of information, in real-time, about the emotional state of individuals or communities. This can, in turn, provide valuable information about how people react to various events.
