About Insights mention classification
Insights analyzes all of the data it collects to give you richer information about your search results. Each mention is classified by sentiment, emotion, location, and gender (where possible). This added analysis gives you a deeper understanding of who is talking about your topic, and how they feel about it.
Sentiment
Insights performs sentiment analysis on every mention, using an AI-driven model based on a training sample of 500,000 mentions. Insights assigns a sentiment of positive, negative, or neutral to each mention.
Team admins can change the sentiment assigned to a mention. See Analyze Insights search results for more information.
Emotion
Insights performs emotion analysis on every mention, using an AI-driven model based on a training sample of approximately two million tweets, manually labeled with emotional categories.
Insights classifies mentions based on six emotions: anger, disgust, fear, joy, surprise, and sadness. If Insights doesn't detect an emotion, no emotion is assigned to the mention.
Note: Insights only supports emotion classification for English mentions.
Location
Location data is sometimes provided by the platform or by the author of the mention. When an author or mention has no explicit location, Insights tries to infer a location based on keywords in the author’s bio.
Gender
Insights infers gender for a mention using a statistical method based on the binary gender distribution of author names in census data and other public records.
