In case of learning based techniques, firstly data set is gathered for neutral, positive and negative classes. Secondly, Features and words are extracted and then they are put in the algorithm. Which method is to be used for business solutions heavily depends upon the language, domain and application.
2. Syntactic Vs. Statistical technique: Syntactic techniques provide better accuracy and they use a syntactic rule of English language which detects verbs, nouns and adjectives. This technique majorly depends the language of the document. Whereas, statistical technique possesses probabilistic background which exactly focuses between words and its categories. This technique has two advantages over the syntactic one: It can be used with other languages with almost no adaptions and for the good results we can import original dataset for machine translation.
