Basic Introduction to Sentic Computing: Sentic computing is an interdisciplinary field that combines affective computing (emotions and feelings) and commonsense computing to analyze sentiments and opinions on the web effectively. Its goal is to enhance the recognition, interpretation, and processing of sentiments by leveraging computer science and social science techniques.
