@kaniini what algorithm/nlp library is it based on?
@kaniini interesting I'll try to dig up some benchmarks to see how it performs, thanks for the link.
in my experience sentiment analysis is hard as hell, I totally agree in seeing this just as an aid tool for mods and admins and not used to automatize any practical action
@kaniini sure research is always useful, and it's worth exploring techniques to assist moderators, with the caveat, in this case, that even the best sentiment analysis would fail to recognize some types of trolling behavior, and some kinds of indirect subtle harassment
the AFINN-165 sentiment analysis algorithm for microblogs
the particular implementation is https://hex.pm/packages/veritaserum
i guess vertiaserum is a truth serum used in the harry potter books
