The aim of the project is to develop a sentiment analysis tool for tweets in Arabic language. Because social media, Twitter in particular, are becoming the main source of social interaction, a sentiment analysis tool of arabic chatter will be valuable in spurring additional research and enhancing the quality of existing work that utilizes big data from online sources.

Our research will investigate how well existing approaches to sentiment analysis work for Arabic; will develop new techniques to improve the existing approaches; and will use these new techniques to develop a tool for analyzing sentiments expressed in Arabic, and especially in Arabic tweets.

The duration of the program is three years. In this period, we will be developing the tools and presenting some applications.
