Senpy is a framework for text analysis using Linked Data. There are three main applications of Senpy so far: sentiment and emotion analysis, user profiling and entity recoginition. Annotations and Services are compliant with NIF (NLP Interchange Format).
Senpy aims at providing a framework where analysis modules can be integrated easily as plugins, and providing a core functionality for managing tasks such as data validation, user interaction, formatting, logging, translation to linked data, etc.
The figure below summarizes the typical features in a text analysis service.
The main component of a sentiment analysis service is the algorithm itself. However, for the algorithm to work, it needs to get the appropriate parameters from the user, format the results according to the defined API, interact with the user whn errors occur or more information is needed, etc.
Senpy proposes a modular and dynamic architecture that allows:
The framework consists of two main modules: Senpy core, which is the building block of the service, and Senpy plugins, which consist of the analysis algorithm. The next figure depicts a simplified version of the processes involved in an analysis with the Senpy framework.
