This phase involves utilizing machine learning algorithms to
train a model that can predict emotions

accomplished by employing machine learning models like
Support Vector Machines (SVM), Naïve Bayes, or Recurrent
Neural Networks (RNN). The model is trained on the labeled

Feature extraction plays a crucial role by extracting relevant
features from the tweets, such as word frequencies, sentiment
scores, emoji usage, and contextual information. The model's
performance is then optimized using techniques like cross-
validation and hyperparameter tuning, aiming to enhance its
predictive accuracy.
