I need a simple Sentiment Analysis library to use in my ASP.NET application. The library should be able to work on short strings (Twitter tweets have a maximum length of 140 characters long), and only needs to classify the tweets as positive or negative (and perhaps neutral, but not necessary).

I have found many similar questions on Stack Overflow, but haven't managed to find a class library in C# that quite fits my requirements.

I found this really cool webservice called uClassify that does exactly what I need, thanks to the post at Algorithm to determine how positive or negative a statement/text is.

But I want a library, not a web service. I will be processing thousands of tweets and the overhead of making HttpRequests is too much.

  • @M.Babcock, thank you for your suggestion, but I had already seen that post. Rapid-Miner is a full-blown software package and seems to be an overkill for what I want. I was wondering if there's a simple class library. Something similar to uClassify would be perfect. – Rachel Dec 29 '11 at 10:58
  • @Rachel Did you ever have any luck with this? I'm looking for the exact same thing. – Brian MacKay Jan 30 '13 at 19:47
  • @BrianMacKay No, I had ended up using the uClassify web service. – Rachel Jan 31 '13 at 07:17
  • @Rachel In that case, may I ask how it went? It looks like it should be pretty easy to use. – Brian MacKay Jan 31 '13 at 17:29

    @BrianMacKay: It's been a while, but I remember it was quite easy to use, and the web service was pretty fast. Although sentiment analysis wasn't that accurate on certain tweets... – Rachel Jan 31 '13 at 21:06
  • did you get final solution? – Kiquenet Feb 18 '18 at 11:58
  • No, I used uClassify, as mentioned in previous comment. – Rachel May 22 '18 at 13:13
