Retrieving YouTube video by sentiment analysis on user comment

Abstract

YouTube is one of the comprehensive video information source on the web where video is uploading continuously in real time. It is one of the most popular site in social media, where users interact with sharing, commenting and rating (like/views) videos. Generally the quality, relevancy and popularity of the video is maintained based on this rating. Sometimes irrelevant and low quality videos ranked higher in the search result due to the number of views or likes, which seems untenable. To minimize this issue, we present a Natural Language processing (NLP) based sentiment analysis approach on user comments. This analysis helps to find out the most relevant and popular video of YouTube according to the search. The effectiveness of the proposed scheme has been proved by a data driven experiment in terms of accuracy of finding relevant, popular and high quality video.
