Abstract With accelerated evolution of the internet as websites, social networks, blogs, online portals, reviews, opinions, recommendations, ratings, and feedback are generated by writers. This writer generated sentiment content can be about books, people, hotels, products, research, events, etc. These sentiments become very beneficial for businesses, governments, and individuals. While this content is meant to be useful, a bulk of this writer generated content require using the text mining techniques and sentiment analysis. But there are several challenges facing the sentiment analysis and evaluation process. These challenges become obstacles in analyzing the accurate meaning of sentiments and detecting the suitable sentiment polarity. Sentiment analysis is the practice of applying natural language processing and text analysis techniques to identify and extract subjective information from text. This paper presents a survey on the sentiment analysis challenges relevant to their approaches and techniques.
