1. INTRODUCTION

   The field of data analysis implies dissecting data in manners that uncover connections, designs, patterns found inside it. It basically gives us the result to what in particular level we can believe about appropriate responses we are getting by contrasting our data with others to find out needed result from the information. Basically there are two kind of data qualitative data that alludes to the information which is gathered or can be converted into numbers that can be represented numerically. And other one is qualitative data that is gathered in a format as it is descriptive, sentiment, quotes, translations, and so on. The famous and most basic tool for data analysis is MS Excel in which data can be arranged in the form to be in ascending and descending order, channel the information that meet specific models, display charts, perform conditional formatting on cells, get required information out from an enormous and itemized data collection utilizing pivot tables, formatting of tables to dissect our information rapidly and effectively. In this research work, an Add-in of MS Excel named Microsoft Azure Machine Learning that is basically used to do sentiment analysis was used. Many other tools like Analysis ToolPak which is an include program that gives solution for data analysis to do analysis of monetary, factual and designing engineering data analysis. Text data contains sentiment and feelings.

   Sentiments are elements, occasions and their properties likewise called as target articulations. Conclusions depict an individual's sentiments, opinions, evaluation's towards elements, occasions and their properties.

   Regardless of whether a particular decision is made or yet to be made is coordinating with the sentiments of the others to stay away from self-misfortune. One reason for the absence of sentiments is the way that there was minimal stubborn message accessible before the Internet. Prior to the web, when an individual expected to settle on a choice, the person in question requests feelings from loved ones. In any case, the web changed the way that individuals express their perspectives and sentiments by posting surveys of items at Ecommerce platforms, comments on social media platforms and websites which are on the whole called client created content. This internet based sentiment conduct addresses new and quantifiable wellsprings of data with numerous reasonable applications. Sentiment analysis is performed by utilizing the approach which can review about opinions that is also known as opinion mining, is intended to dissect the assessment of individuals towards anything like items, associations, and other related traits. In this current day, social media assumes a huge part in giving quality data about any topic going from various surveys websites, and remarks. Today, people, organizations and establishments are progressively utilizing the data available over web to advise their choices. At the point when an individual needs to purchase an item, he presently not just asks individuals around him however gets a ton of remarks, conversations, and other data about the item from the Web. For an association, the evaluation of these items and service can likewise be very important as it represents the image through the Web. Also, it is simple these days for companies to get public input on their services, just as to find out with regards to significant occasions in different areas. Be that as it may, because of the multiplication of different sites, online evaluation and checking of assessment sites and removing data from them is as yet a troublesome task. The normal human will struggle distinguishing applicable destinations, extricating and summing up remarks from them. Along these lines, evaluation framework is required.

      As per the study of Qasem et al. [12] Azure ML model is the customization of models utilizing python and R.

      As per the research work of of Ericson et al. [13] Azure ML studio takes into account the moving of Modules and datasets like Ml algorithm, highlight choice, and pre-handling and connections them together. This test can be prepared and changed into a predictive analysis. This prescient test permits clients to fabricate their models.

      Microsoft Azure is intended to set a playground for both experienced and freshers who intend to perform data analysis. It provides an assortment of algorithm with just a solitary clustering algorithm. Azure ML is regularly described by the Cortana Intelligence Gallery, which is an assortment of ML platform which is reused and investigated by information researchers. Azure services can be ordered into two:

      1. Azure Bot Service

      2. Azure Machine Learning Studio.

      Azure ML studio requires users to complete all the operations manually. This includes, data preprocessing, exploration, validating modeling results, and choosing methods. It supports about 100 techniques that address regression, anomaly detection, classification (binary and multiclass), text analysis, and recommendation.

      Azure ML studio expects user to finish every one of the activities by manual method. This incorporates, information preprocessing, investigation, approving displaying results, and picking strategies.

During the study of Turney [15] the sack of-words approach was utilized for investigating the opinions.

   Liu [7] focus on analyzing the sentiments and subjectivity of tweets. Bouazizi et al. [10] collected the Twitter dataset from social media and analyzing the sentiments as positive, negative, and neutral.

   The work of Liu [7] centered on breaking down the opinions and subjectivity of tweets.

   Bouazizi et al. [16] gathered the Twitter dataset and investigated the opinions in the form to be positive, negative, or neutral.

   However, sentiment analysis is a highly restricted NLP problem because NLP can only understand some aspects of it, such as positive or negative emotion. [7] NLTK is the natural language processing toolkit for Python, one of the most commonly used Python libraries in the NLP world. This paper will use NLTK to do the research.

   But, the limitation of sentiment analysis is that is an exceptionally confined NLP issue since NLP can just see a few parts of it if some sentence is positive or negative. [7] The sentiment analyzer used in this study is the basically language preparing tool designing using TextBlob library of Python perhaps the most regularly utilized Python library in the NLP world. This paper will utilize both Azure Machine Learning Add-in from Microsoft and Python for sentiment analysis.
