pysentimiento: A Python Toolkit for Sentiment Analysis and SocialNLP tasks

Extracting opinions from texts has gathered a lot of interest in the last years, as we are experiencing an unprecedented volume of user-generated content in social networks and other places. A problem that social researchers find in using opinion mining tools is that they are usually behind commercial APIs and unavailable for other languages than English. To address these issues, we present pysentimiento, a multilingual Python toolkit for Sentiment Analysis and other Social NLP tasks. This open-source library brings state-of-the-art models for Spanish and English in a black-box fashion, allowing researchers to easily access these techniques.
