Abstract
This paper describes the system we used for Shared Task on Sentiment Analysis in Indian Languages (SAIL) Tweets, at MIKE-2015. Twitter is one of the most popular platform which allows users to share their opinion in the form of tweets. Since it restricts the users with 140 characters, the tweets are actually very short to carry opinions and sentiments to analyze. We take the help of a twitter training dataset in Indian Language (Hindi) and apply data mining approaches for analyzing the sentiments. We used a state-of-the-art Data Mining tool Weka to automatically classify the sentiment of Hindi tweets into positive, negative or neutral.
