About

This form uses the VADER sentiment analysis tools from the NLTK (Natural Language ToolKit). A short tutorial on using this tool is Sentiment Analysis for Exploratory Data Analysis.

When using the tool, I found that I could easily find positive phrases that were considered negative and vice-versa. In spite of these false readings, the researchers who created it found that the tool had higher reliability than humans scoring the same texts.
