Sentiment_Analysis_on_COVID-19_Twitter_Data

This paper analyzes sentiment on COVID-19 related tweets in India from November 2019 to May 2020, categorizing them into positive, negative, and neutral sentiments. Initially, negative sentiments dominated, but as time progressed, positive sentiments increased significantly, particularly during April and May 2020. The study provides insights into public sentiment trends during the pandemic and the impact of lockdown measures on people's perceptions.
