An Emotional Text

sentilyzer

Sentiment analysis is the process of analyzing text data and deriving its emotional tone. For this work, headlines from the New York Times were used to analyze them semantically. Using Basil.js and InDesign, the headlines were visualized to show how positively or negatively charged they are. With a neutral text, there are almost no changes. However, if the headline has a negative connotation, it will deflect downward; if the title is positive, it will be pulled upward.
