Abstract

= .32), on par with that of human coders reported in other work, when classification was limited to three valence types (negative, neutral, or positive) rather than five. Tool performance remained consistent regardless of data set size. VADER, more so than TextBlob, is a useful means of rapidly determining the broad emotional valence within large volumes of text data that would be unfeasible for manual coding.
