Not predicting sentiment of emoticons correctly

[ayushbits]

@cjhutto I am also facing the issue. Could you tell why is it happening ?

The analyzer splits up the input by whitespace and looks for emoji among those tokens. So when it encounters a token like two smiling faces in a row, it will look for the token containing both faces in the emoji lexicon, fail to find it, and carry on. A fix for this would be to search for emoji on a character by character basis.

Does 😃 😃 mean the same thing as 😃 ?

[ckw017]

I feel like it should mean the same thing as if ":)" would be to ":) :)"

@ddugovic No, it doesn't. 😃 😃 have more positive compound score than 😃 .
@ckw017 Yes, I realised, emoji's needs to be space separated for analyser to work.
