Sammanfattning	Supervised text classification trains a statistical model on documents that humans have hand-labeled, then uses it to assign categories — topic, tone, position, relevance — to the much larger set of unlabeled documents. Unlike dictionary methods, which apply a fixed word list, a supervised classifier learns from examples which textual features predict each category, so it can capture context-dependent and non-obvious cues. Grimmer and Stewart present it as a core text-as-data workflow, and a key insight is that for many political-science questions the goal is not perfect document-by-document labels but accurate estimates of category proportions across a corpus.	Sentiment analysis, also called opinion mining, is a natural-language-processing task that detects the emotional tone of text — typically classifying it as positive, negative, or neutral. It turns unstructured opinion text into structured, quantifiable polarity signals using one of three families of approaches: sentiment lexicons, trained machine-learning classifiers, or pretrained transformer models.
