General description

Twitter for Sentiment Analysis (T4SA) corpus is a collection of tweets containing text and images collected from July to December 2016. During this time span, the researchers exploited Twitter’s Sample API to access a random 1% sample of the stream of all globally produced tweets, discarding:

• tweets not containing any static image or containing other media (i.e., They also discarded tweets containing only videos and/or animated GIFs)
• tweets not written in the English language
• tweets whose text was less than 5 words long
• retweets.
