    Abstract

    In this paper, we propose a bias detection method that is based on personal and social opinions that express contrasting views on competing topics on Twitter. We used unsupervised polarity classification is conducted for learning social opinions on targets. The tf idf algorithm is applied to extract targets to reflect sentiments and features of tweets.
