Abstract

ConfRate is a website designed to gather tweets regarding various conferences occurring around the corners of world and applying an algorithm to rate them on the sentimental analysis of tweets. When we talk of technolog stack implementation, ConfRate uses Twython; a python based twitter API which connects to twitter on oauth (open authentication) and offers functionality like twitter search.The technique is to use the real time data from the twitter; commonly known as 201C;tweets201D;. This information is categorized into positive or negative on the basis of the 201C;tweet sentiments201D;. The Natural Language Toolkit (NLTK) is a powerful tool in Python which identifies tweet sentiments using Bayes classifier. The use of Django 1.3.1 web framework (a python framework) provides a lightweight web server with MVC framework which easily integrates with our python scripts. For designing user interface, html5 using jquery has been used. Finally, the application is deployed on the cloud using AWS (Amazon web services) Elastic Cloud Computer or commonly known as EC2, providing more profitability and reliable browsing and dependability from market perspective.
