Wrong sentiment from sentiment analysis api

Hi,

I was trying sentiment analysis api on some tweets and it seems to take even positive sentiment tweets in the negative section. Is it due to it's dependency on keywords?

  Hi Rajat,

  To answer your question...
  The calculation of the sentiment depends on the words, not at the keyword level, but on the concepts. If the text is very short or not very phrasal the engine can have a harder time disambiguating and attributing positivity and negativity. The larger the set of text data, the better the engine should do at properly determining sentiment.
