Introduction
Digital documents are a popular format for sharing information in electronic settings. Users typically have little interaction with the information in digital documents.
Documents are usually a starting point rather than the end goal for users.
Documents serve as a starting point for gaining knowledge or performing actions.
These existing works are limited in features and scope.
Methodology
A sentiment analysis feature could assess sentiment at the document or sentence level. Some approaches for document-level sentiment analysis have been proposed.
