With the rapid development and popularity of the World Wide Web, the Internet has entered the Web 2.0 and social network era. In Web 1.0, the Internet was characterized by static web pages. Web 2.0 refers to a World Wide Web that highlights user-generated content. Social networks are represented by a number of online tools and platforms, such as Twitter, Facebook, Weibo, and WeChat, where people share their perspectives, opinions, thoughts, and experiences. These online platforms contain innumerable subjective texts regarding different topics and events that fully reflect the individual opinions, sentiments, attitudes, and emotions of all of society.Studying how to use computers to analyze, mine, and manage such subjective text is of great practical significance to nations, governments, enterprises, and individuals. National security agencies need to observe the content of these networks and identify possible responses, fraud, and invalid information dissemination to ensure network security; governments need to track public opinion to improve their policies and regulations; enterprises need to quickly understand the user’s opinions, comments, and suggestions based on network information to improve the quality of their products and services; when purchasing products, individuals want to quickly and accurately capture the pros and cons of products and make better choices and decisions.Sentiment analysis, also called opinion mining, is the field of study that analyzes such subjectivities in texts. In this chapter, we will first introduce the categorization of sentiment analysis. Then, we will introduce sentiment analysis methods at different levels. We finally discuss two special issues in sentiment analysis, including polarity shift and domain adaptation.
