Sentiment Analysis of Twitter Users Who Publish Texts on Politics Over an Election Period: This is part of my master thesis' research. We are characterizing users' sentiments, mood variation, and language patterns of users that published tweets about 2017 American Presidential Election. I identified four user communities using data mining techniques: Trump's Advocates, Hillary's Advocates, Political Bots and Regular Users.
