Context-aware Models for Twitter Sentiment Analysis

Recent works on Sentiment Analysis over Twitter are tied to the idea that the sentiment can be completely captured after reading an incoming tweet. However, tweets are filtered through streams of posts, so that a wider context, e.g. a topic, is always available. In this work, the contribution of thi...
