Abstract

The Tamil language is a treasure trove of diverse digital content that presents a vast landscape for sentiment analysis. This study aims to delve into the fusion of linguistic research and technological advancements, specifically focusing on implementing word embeddings and deep learning methods. Despite the intricate structure of Tamil, we intend to offer a thorough comprehension of the sentiments conveyed in this culturally rich and complex language. Through this research, we aim to explore the nuances of the Tamil language, including its subtle nuances and complexities, to provide a comprehensive understanding of the sentiments expressed in this language. By doing so, we hope to unlock the full potential of the Tamil language and contribute to developing more advanced and insightful language technologies.
