Sentiment scores and ranking

Once you have run sentiment analysis and set up your category view on Explorer, you can see variety of options and ranking information on the page.

What is sentiment ranking per category

When metrics such as average on word count or sentiment score are added to a category view, each category is presented with not only information about the frequency of items but also the configured metrics. For instance, in the image below, we can see that "Great app" category is the most populated one and ranked first under frequency. But what does it mean that it is ranked 7th for sentiment?

Sentiment analysis results consist of a label and a confidence score. We can calculate the average over scores per category and rank/sort them accordingly. In the image above, the average sentiment score for the "Great app" category is a number than is seventh among all categories. Note that you can change the sort by parameter as shown in the image below.
