    Abstract

    The main purpose of this thesis was getting to know the field of opinion mining on texts in Slovene language in greater detail. We then used the acquired knowledge in connection with a practical example. For the data we used the news and comments from the rtvslo.si news portal, which is one of the two most popular portals in Slovenia. We tested various algorithms trying to classify comments as positive or negative with the greatest possible accuracy, then we assumed our results as correct and did some more opinion mining on them. At the beginning, we have set ourselves the basic goals which we then upgraded with acquired knowledge. There has not been much done in this field in Slovene language, consequently we came across a great deal of problems. Firstly, we studied the theory and presented it, so the further work is more understandable to the reader. We presented the used methods, findings and results.
