Abstract Sentiment analysis (SA) has evolved from a niche text-classification task into a central problem in natural language processing, spanning multiple domains, modalities, and languages. This survey provides a comprehensive review of sentiment analysis methods from their origins in lexicon-based approaches through classical machine learning, deep learning architectures, pre-trained transformers, and the current era of large language models (LLMs). We formalize the SA problem across multiple granularity levels (document, sentence, and aspect) and present a taxonomy that encompasses classification, regression, aspect-based sentiment analysis (ABSA), emotion detection, and stance detection tasks across diverse domains including movie reviews,… More >
