Cortex Sentiment is a transformation component that uses Snowflake Cortex to analyze English-language input text and return a sentiment score for that text.
The returned sentiment score is a floating point number from -1 to 1 (inclusive), indicating the level of negative or positive sentiment in the input text. Values close to 0 indicate neutral sentiment.

Example
A coffee shop has been collecting customer reviews left on a website, and wants to obtain a sentiment score for each review so that they can more easily rank them and focus on the more positive and negative reviews. Today's reviews look like this:
Input data:
| COFFEE TYPE | REVIEW |
|---|---|
| Espresso | The espresso was bold and aromatic, but a tad too bitter for my taste. The barista was friendly, though, and the atmosphere was cozy. |
| Cappuccino | My cappuccino was perfectly balanced, with a creamy foam that melted in my mouth. However, the service was a bit slow, and the coffee wasn't piping hot. |
| Latte | The latte was velvety smooth, but it lacked the flavor I was hoping for. The barista was friendly, and the ambiance was pleasant. |
| Americano | The Americano was strong and robust, just how I like it. However, the service was a bit impersonal, and the coffee could have been hotter. |
| Mocha | Indulging in the mocha was like sipping on liquid chocolate bliss. The service, however, was lacking, with long wait times and a disorganized atmosphere. |
| Cold Brew | The cold brew was refreshingly smooth, but it tasted a bit watered down. The ambiance was nice, though, and the staff was friendly. |
| Macchiato | The macchiato was the perfect balance of bold espresso and creamy foam. Unfortunately, the service was slow, and the coffee was lukewarm. |
| Flat White | The flat white was silky smooth, but it lacked the depth of flavor I was expecting. The barista was friendly, though, and the atmosphere was cozy. |
| Turkish Coffee | The Turkish coffee was rich and aromatic, but it was too bitter for my taste. The service was prompt, and the ambiance was charming. |
| Pour Over | The pour-over coffee was delicate and nuanced, but it was a bit too acidic for my liking. The barista was knowledgeable, and the coffee house had a cozy vibe. |
The shop can use the Cortex Sentiment component to generate a sentiment score from the review text, giving a numeric value that can then be used to rank the reviews.
The returned sentiment score is a floating point number from -1 to 1 (inclusive), indicating the level of negative or positive sentiment in the input text. Values close to 0 indicate neutral sentiment.
Cortex Sentiment component properties:
