Update of my work to the Complex Networks class at Florida Institute of Technology teached by Doctor Ronaldo Menezes. Searching for tools and reading articles to write my own article on the Topic of Sentiment Analysis using twitter data.

1. Sentiment Analysis
Searching Tools and reading articles

2. Looking for the best tools
I am currently studying some tools for sentiment analysis and reading some
articles about it.
I found a way to use the Natural Language Tool Kit (NLTK) with python to
analyse twitter data but the methodology has to be studied in order to do the
best choice.

Another tool which works by examining individual words and short sequences
of words (n-grams) and comparing them with a probability model was found
too.

3. Programming
I am currently getting the informations about the users and building the
network. After it I’ll get some tweets posted by this users to use to compare with
the collected ones.
I am now analysing the tools to perform the sentiment analysis on the tweets.
