A subject of special interest Sentiment Analysis finds application in various fields viz. Brand Monitoring, Voice of Employee, Social media monitoring .In this paper mining of tweets from Social Media site Twitter is done to analyze the public opinion on “Kerala Floods 2018 “.Twitter generates 500 million messages called ‘tweets’ per day. Processing these gargantuan tweets is time consuming; this paper aims in processing these tweets into set of features by using Sentiment Lexicons and then applying a filtering method to extract those features which are of high value and discarding all the low value features. Emoticons, slang, hash tags plays a vital role in conversation among people to express their opinions. The extracted features which are huge in number are reduced using the feature selection method Information Gain (IG). The selected high value features through IG are applied to Bayes classifier for classification of opinions. It is apparent from the results that analyzing sentiments using emoticons, slang and hash tag features as one among the features is better than using conventional n- gram features. This manuscript uses Accuracy, Precision, Recall, F- measure and Time for processing to analyze the performance of high value words using IG.
