The sentiment algorithm's success rate is somewhere between 60%-80%. That means for every 10 mentions it will only mark sentiment correctly for 8, and 2 will be inaccurate. This is within a generally acceptable margin or error.
Calculating sentiment accurately is an extremely difficult process and arguably achieving 100% accuracy is impossible.
If you can provide a search phrase with inaccurate results and I can take a look and possibly improve the sentiment analysis.

Inappropriate?does this use a series of positive or neagitive keyworks found in the surraounding text? I do not want the exact details but am interested in the broad methodology -
Inappropriate?Hi Terry,
The exact method uses multiple techniques one of which is textual analysis.
Did you experience inaccurate analyzed sentiments? -
Inappropriate?No, I did not see clear errors. I am interested in working with a 'social media dashboard' provider so was interested in this category as it is do vital yet so hard to determine automatically.

Inappropriate?Hello, I have another question about the sentiment section : how accurate is it for non-english sources? Can I trust this kind of information if all of my sources are in french? -
Inappropriate?Hi Jeremie,
No currently non-English languages have a far less accurate rate in terms of sentiment. However, For non-English languages you will not experience false positives or negatives just the majority of items will be marked as neutral.
