In the second stage, an evaluation of SDI algorithm performance for messages about “cancer” of a period of three weeks was performed. The ratings were paired, to generate a performance appraisal.Results: The precision and recall values were 0.68 and 0.67, respectively. A total of 25,230 messages on the topic “cancer” with a positive feeling classification (71%) were collected. Conclusion: The contributions of this work aim to fill the lack of methods of analysis of feelings for the Portuguese Portuguese language.
