     DETAILED DESCRIPTION 
     Various embodiments of the present invention are described more fully hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which some, but not all embodiments of the inventions are shown. Indeed, these inventions may be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein; rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will satisfy applicable legal requirements. The term “or” is used herein in both the alternative and conjunctive sense, unless otherwise indicated. The terms “illustrative” and “exemplary” are used to be examples with no indication of quality level. Like numbers refer to like elements throughout. Moreover, while certain embodiments of the present invention are described with reference to predictive data analysis, one of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that the disclosed concepts can be used to perform other types of data analysis. 
     I. Overview and Technical Advantages 
     Discussed herein methods, apparatus, systems, computing devices, computing entities, and/or the like for predictive data analysis of an input text sequence by generating an overall emotional sentiment score for the input text sequence. As will be recognized, however, the disclosed concepts can be used to perform any type of data analysis, including non-predictive data analysis. Examples of predictive data analysis include supervised machine learning analysis (e.g., classification analysis and regression analysis) and unsupervised machine learning analysis (e.g., clustering analysis). 
     Many existing predictive data analysis solutions are incapable of efficiently and reliably performing predictive data analysis without the explicit use of labelled training data. Due to this restriction, existing predictive data analysis solutions are limited in their output. For example, conventional predictive data analysis solutions directed to associating a text sequence with an emotion are typically restricted to basic emotions (e.g., anger, fear, sadness, disgust, surprise, anticipation, trust, and joy) and require the use of labelled data to train such predictive data analysis solutions on said basic emotions. Further, conventional predictive data analysis solutions are often constrained to association of emotions with single words within a text sequence such that the text sequence as a whole is not considered. Thus, there is a technical need for predictive data analysis solutions that are capable of efficiently and reliably performing predictive data analysis without the use of labelled training data and which consider an input text sequence as a whole. 
     Text sequences may also be difficult to accurately label due the inherent subjective nature of such text sequences. For example, a text sequence that appears business-like and straightforward to one individual may be interpreted as rude or impolite by another individual. Furthermore, more complex sentiments which may be a composite of positive, negative, and/or neutral sentiments are not as easily measured as basic emotions. For example, compassion by definition must arise in the context of suffering and involves a behavioral aspect such as the desire to ease or eliminate suffering. As such, compassion comprises both positive and negative sentiments. 
     Various embodiments of the present invention address technical challenges related to efficiently and reliably performing predictive data analysis without the use of labelled data. For example, in some embodiments, proposed solutions disclose generating an overall emotional sentiment score for an input text sequence. An emotional sentiment machine learning model may process the input text sequence and generate an intermediate emotional sentiment score object comprising a plurality of intermediate emotional scores each associated with an intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimension. The overall emotional sentiment score may be generated based at least in part on the intermediate emotional sentiment score object, and by utilizing an emotional sentiment score transformation object, wherein the emotional sentiment score transformation object comprises an emotional sentiment score transformation weight value for each intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimension. One or more prediction-based actions may then be performed based at least in part on the overall emotional sentiment score. In doing so, various embodiments of the present invention address shortcomings of existing predictive data analysis solutions and enable solutions that are capable of efficiently and reliably performing predictive data analysis without the use of labeled training data. 
     II. Definitions of Certain Terms 
     The term “input text sequence” may refer to an electronically-received data construct that is configured to describe a text sequence to be processed. In some embodiments, the input text sequence comprises unstructured data. In some embodiments, the input text sequence comprises unlabeled data. The text sequence comprising the input text sequence may comprise one or more words each comprising one or more text characters. In some embodiments, the text sequence may comprise one or more sentences. Each sentence in the input text sequence may be denoted by one or more punctuation characters. 
     The term “target composite sentiment designation” may refer to an electronically-received data construct that is configured to describe a combination of one or more sentiments of interest to a user. The one or more sentiments described by the target composite sentiment designation may indicate the one or more sentiments of interest and further, may indicate an interest in how the one or more sentiments of interest relate to the input text sequence. For example, a target composite sentiment designation may describe the sentiment “uncompassionate”, indicative to process the input text sequence to determine how uncompassionate the input text sequence is. In some embodiments, the strength of the correlation of one or more sentiments described by the of the target composite sentiment designation to the input text sequence may be indicated in the overall emotional sentiment score. In some embodiments, the target composite sentiment designation is associated with a subset of a plurality of candidate intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimensions. 
     The term “emotional sentiment machine learning model” may refer to an electronically-stored data construct that is configured to describe parameters, hyper-parameters, and/or stored operations of a machine learning model that is configured to process an input text sequence in order to generate an intermediate sentiment score object for the input text sequence and/or an overall emotional sentiment score for the input text sequence. In some embodiments, the emotional sentiment machine learning model is further configured to determine whether an overall emotional sentiment score satisfies one or more emotional sentiment score thresholds. In some embodiments, if the overall emotional sentiment score satisfies one or more emotional sentiment score thresholds, an output indicative that the overall emotional sentiment score satisfies the one or more emotional sentiment score thresholds may be generated. In some embodiments, if the overall emotional sentiment score fails to satisfy one or more emotional sentiment score thresholds, an output indicative of which of the one or more emotional sentiment score thresholds the overall emotional sentiment score fails to satisfy may be generated. In some embodiments, if the overall emotional sentiment score fails to satisfy one or more emotional sentiment score thresholds, the overall emotional sentiment score may be provided to one or more processing models to generate one or more modified text sequences based at least in part on the input text sequence and a target composite sentiment designation. In some embodiments, the emotional sentiment machine learning model comprises a neural network. In some embodiments, the emotional sentiment machine learning model comprises a long short term memory (LSTM) neural network. In some embodiments, the emotional sentiment machine learning model utilizes one or more natural language processing (NLP) techniques. In some embodiments, the parameters and/or hyper-parameters of the emotional sentiment machine learning model may be represented as values in a one-dimensional array, such as a vector. In some embodiments, the parameters and/or hyper-parameters of the emotional sentiment machine learning model may be represented as values in a two-dimensional array, such as a matrix. 
     The term “intermediate emotional sentiment score object” may refer to an electronically managed data construct indicative of a plurality of intermediate emotional scores for a plurality of intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimensions for the input text sequence. In some embodiments, the intermediate emotional sentiment score object is characterized by an intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation domain. The intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation domain may be associated with a plurality of intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimensions. The intermediate emotional sentiment score object may comprise a plurality of intermediate emotional scores each associated with an intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimension. In some embodiments, the intermediate emotional score associated with an intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimension is a value between 0 and 1 and is indicative of a percentage of correlation between the intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimension and the input text sequence. In some embodiments, the sum of each intermediate emotional score associated with the plurality of intermediate emotional sentiment value dimensions totals to 1. In some embodiments, the intermediate emotional score associated with an intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimension is indicative of the strength of the correlation between the corresponding intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimension and the input text sequence with respect to the target composite sentiment designation. In some embodiments, the plurality of intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimensions corresponds to a plurality of emoji designations. In some embodiments, the plurality of intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimensions is determined based at least in part on a subset of a plurality of candidate intermediate emotional evaluation dimensions that may be associated with a target composite sentiment designation. In some embodiments, the intermediate emotional sentiment score object is generated by an emotional sentiment machine learning model. 
     The term “emotional sentiment score transformation object” may refer to an electronically managed data construct that describes emotional sentiment score transformation weight values for each intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimension of the plurality of intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimensions with respect to a corresponding target composite sentiment designation that is associated with the emotional sentiment score transformation object. In some embodiments, the emotional sentiment score transformation weight values are between −1 and 1. An emotional sentiment score transformation weight value closer to −1 may indicate a more negative sentiment while an emotional sentiment score transformation weight value closer to 1 may indicate a more positive sentiment. An emotional sentiment score transformation weight value close to 0 may indicate a more neutral sentiment. In some embodiments, the emotional sentiment score transformation weight value for each intermediate sentiment evaluation dimension may be independent of the target composite sentiment designation. In some embodiments, the emotional sentiment score transformation object may further comprise a negative connotation value, a neutral connotation value, and/or a positive connotation value for each intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimension. In some embodiments, the emotional sentiment score transformation weight value for each intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimensions may be based at least in part on the negative connotation value, a neutral connotation value, and/or a positive connotation value associated with the intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimension. In some embodiments, the emotional sentiment score transformation weight value for each intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimension may be based at least in part on the overall composite total of the negative connotation value, neutral connotation value, and/or positive connotation value associated with the intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimension. In some embodiments, the negative connotation value, neutral connotation value, and/or positive connotation value associated with each intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimension may be indicative of the strength of the correlation between the corresponding intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimension and a negative, neutral, or positive sentiment, respectively. For example, an intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimension with a large positive connotation value may be most closely associated with a positive sentiment. In some embodiments, the negative connotation value, neutral connotation value, and/or positive connotation value are values between 0 and 1. In some embodiments, the total sum of the negative connotation value, neutral connotation value, and/or positive connotation value are equal to 1. 
     The term “overall emotional sentiment score” may refer to an electronically managed data construct indicative of the strength of the correlation between one or more sentiments described by the of the target composite sentiment designation and the input text sequence. For example, if an overall emotional sentiment score is high for a target composite sentiment designation describing the sentiment “uncompassionate”, the input text sequence may have been determined to strongly correlate to uncompassionate sentiments as determined at least in part by the emotional sentiment machine learning model. The overall emotional sentiment score may be any real number. In some embodiments, the value of the overall emotional sentiment score may be a value between −1 and 1. In some embodiments, the value of the overall emotional sentiment score may be a value between 0 and 1. In some embodiments, one or more mathematical and/or logic operations may be performed on the intermediate emotional score and the emotional sentiment score transformation weight value for each intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimension to generate the overall emotional sentiment score. For example, multiplication operations may be performed between the intermediate emotional score and the emotional sentiment score transformation weight value for each intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimension. The resulting values may be summed together for each intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimension to generate an overall emotional sentiment score for the input text sequence. 
     The term “overall negative emotional sentiment score” may refer to an electronically managed data construct indicative of the strength of the correlation between one or more negative connotation values corresponding to the plurality of intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimensions associated with a target composite sentiment designation and the input text sequence. In some embodiments, the value of the overall negative emotional sentiment score may be a value between −1 and 1. In some embodiments, the value of the overall negative emotional sentiment score may be a value between 0 and 1. For example, if an overall negative emotional sentiment score is high for a target composite sentiment designation describing the sentiment “uncompassionate”, the uncompassionate target composite sentiment designation may be associated with a negative sentiment as determined at least in part by the emotional sentiment machine learning model. In some embodiments, one or more mathematical and/or logic operations may be performed on the intermediate emotional score and the negative connotation value for each intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimension to generate the overall negative emotional sentiment score. For example, multiplication operations may be performed between the intermediate emotional score and the negative connotation value for each intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimension. The resulting values may be summed together for each intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimension to generate an overall negative emotional sentiment score for the input text sequence. 
     The term “overall neutral emotional sentiment score” may refer to an electronically managed data construct indicative of the strength of the correlation between one or more neutral connotation values corresponding to the plurality of intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimensions associated with a target composite sentiment designation and the input text sequence. In some embodiments, the value of the overall neutral emotional sentiment score may be a value between −1 and 1. In some embodiments, the value of the overall neutral emotional sentiment score may be a value between 0 and 1. For example, if an overall neutral emotional sentiment score is high for a target composite sentiment designation describing the sentiment “boredom”, the boredom target composite sentiment designation may be associated with a neutral sentiment as determined at least in part by the emotional sentiment machine learning model. In some embodiments, one or more mathematical and/or logic operations may be performed on the intermediate emotional score and the neutral connotation value for each intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimension to generate the overall neutral emotional sentiment score. For example, multiplication operations may be performed between the intermediate emotional score and the neutral connotation value for each intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimension. The resulting values may be summed together for each intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimension to generate an overall neutral emotional sentiment score for the input text sequence. 
     The term “overall positive emotional sentiment score” may refer to an electronically managed data construct indicative of the strength of the correlation between one or more positive connotation values corresponding to the plurality of intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimensions associated with a target composite sentiment designation and the input text sequence. In some embodiments, the value of the overall positive emotional sentiment score may be a value between −1 and 1. In some embodiments, the value of the overall positive emotional sentiment score may be a value between 0 and 1. For example, if an overall positive emotional sentiment score is high for a target composite sentiment designation describing the sentiment “compassionate”, the compassionate target composite sentiment designation may be associated with a positive sentiment as determined at least in part by the emotional sentiment machine learning model. In some embodiments, one or more mathematical and/or logic operations may be performed on the intermediate emotional score and the positive connotation value for each intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimension to generate the overall positive emotional sentiment score. For example, multiplication operations may be performed between the intermediate emotional score and the positive connotation value for each intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimension. The resulting values may be summed together for each intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimension to generate an overall positive emotional sentiment score for the input text sequence.

     V. Exemplary System Framework 
     As described below, various embodiments of the present invention address technical challenges related to efficiently and reliably performing predictive data analysis without the use of labelled data. For example, in some embodiments, proposed solutions disclose generating an overall emotional sentiment score for an input text sequence. An emotional sentiment machine learning model may process the input text sequence and generate an intermediate emotional sentiment score object comprising a plurality of intermediate emotional scores each associated with an intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimension. The overall emotional sentiment score may be generated based at least in part on the intermediate emotional sentiment score object, and by utilizing an emotional sentiment score transformation object, wherein the emotional sentiment score transformation object comprises an emotional sentiment score transformation weight value for each intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimension. One or more prediction-based actions may then be performed based at least in part on the overall emotional sentiment score. In doing so, various embodiments of the present invention address shortcomings of existing predictive data analysis solutions and enable solutions that are capable of efficiently and reliably performing predictive data analysis without the use of labeled training data. 
       FIG.  4    is a flowchart diagram of an example process  400  for performing predictive data analysis based at least in part on the overall emotional sentiment score for an input text sequence. Via the various steps/operations of process  400 , the predictive data analysis computing entity  106  may process the input text sequence to generate an overall sentiment score. The predictive data analysis computing entity  106  may then utilize machine learning solutions (e.g., solutions utilizing a neural network and/or LSTMs) to generate predictive insights regarding the input text sequence and perform prediction-based actions based at least in part on the overall emotional sentiment 
     At step/operation  401 , the predictive analysis engine  112  of the predictive data analysis computing entity  106  receives an input text sequence. In some embodiments, the input text sequence comprises unstructured and/or unlabeled data. The text sequence comprising the input text sequence may comprise one or more words each comprising one or more text characters. In some embodiments, the text sequence may comprise one or more sentences. Each sentence in the input text sequence may be denoted by one or more punctuation characters. For example, an input text sequence may comprise the text sequence, “You did not have a fever.”. As another example, an input text sequence may comprise the text sequence, “You did not have a fever. There was no evidence of infection, acute renal failure, or the need for open surgery.”. 
     In some embodiments, the predictive analysis engine  112  of the predictive data analysis computing entity  106  may also receive a target composite sentiment designation. In some embodiments, the predictive analysis engine  112  may receive the target composite sentiment designation substantially simultaneously with the input text sequence. In some embodiments, the target composite sentiment designation is selected and/or configured by a user and is indicative of the one or more sentiments of interest for the user and how the one or more sentiments of interest relate to the input text sequence. For example, a target composite sentiment designation may describe the sentiment “uncompassionate”, indicative to process the input text sequence to determine the correlation between the input text sequence and the uncompassionate sentiment. In some embodiments, the strength of the correlation of one or more sentiments described by the target composite sentiment designation to the input text sequence may be indicated in the overall emotional sentiment score. 
     In some embodiments, the target composite sentiment designation is associated with a subset of a plurality of candidate intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimensions. For example, a target composite sentiment designation describing the sentiment “uncompassionate” may be associated with a subset of the plurality of candidate intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimensions most associated with uncompassionate sentiments. Said otherwise, a target composite sentiment designation may exclude one or more candidate intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimensions of the plurality of candidate intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimensions which are the least associated with the target composite sentiment designation. 
     At step/operation  402 , the predictive analysis engine  112  of the predictive data analysis computing entity  106  generates an intermediate emotional sentiment score object by utilizing an emotional sentiment machine learning model. The intermediate emotional sentiment score object may be characterized by an intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation domain and comprise a plurality of intermediate emotional scores each associated with an intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimension with respect to the target composite sentiment designation. The intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation domain may be associated with a plurality of intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimensions. The intermediate emotional sentiment score object may comprise a plurality of intermediate emotional scores each associated with an intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimension. In some embodiments, the plurality of intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimensions corresponds to a plurality of emoji designations. In some embodiments, the plurality of intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimensions is determined based at least in part on a subset of a plurality of candidate intermediate emotional evaluation dimensions that may be associated with a target composite sentiment designation. 
     In some embodiments, the emotional sentiment machine learning model is used to generate the intermediate emotional sentiment score object. The emotional sentiment machine learning model may be configured to process an input text sequence in order to generate an intermediate sentiment score object and/or an overall emotional sentiment score. In some embodiments, the emotional sentiment machine learning model comprises a neural network. In some embodiments, the emotional sentiment machine learning model comprises a long short term memory (LSTM) neural network. In some embodiments, the emotional sentiment machine learning model includes natural language processing (NLP) techniques. In some embodiments, the parameters and/or hyper-parameters of the emotional sentiment machine learning model may be represented as values in a one-dimensional array, such as a vector. In some embodiments, the parameters and/or hyper-parameters of the emotional sentiment machine learning model may be represented as values in a two-dimensional array, such as a matrix. In some embodiments, the emotional sentiment machine learning model is a trained machine learning model. The emotional sentiment machine learning model may be trained using the training engine  113  of the predictive data analysis computing entity  106 . In some embodiments, the emotional sentiment machine learning model may be trained using training data  122  stored in the storage subsystem  108 . In some embodiments, the trained emotional sentiment machine learning model may be stored in the model definition data  121  of the storage subsystem  108 . 
     In some embodiments, the intermediate emotional score associated with an intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimension is indicative of the strength of the correlation between the corresponding intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimension and the input text sequence. In some embodiments, the intermediate emotional score associated with an intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimension is a value between 0 and 1 and is indicative of a percentage of correlation between the intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimension and the input text sequence. In some embodiments, the sum of each intermediate emotional score associated with the plurality of intermediate emotional sentiment value dimensions totals to 1. 
     An operational example of an intermediate sentiment score object  500  is depicted in  FIG.  5   . The intermediate sentiment score object  500  may comprise a plurality of intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimensions  501 . Each intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimensions of the plurality of intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimensions  501  is associated with an intermediate emotional score  502 . In this particular example, the intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimension  503  is the intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimension associated with the largest intermediate emotional score value  504 . As such, the input text sequence is mostly strongly correlated to the intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimension  503 . 
     At step/operation  403 , the predictive analysis engine  112  of the predictive data analysis computing entity  106  generates an overall emotional sentiment score based at least in part on the intermediate emotional sentiment score object and by utilizing an emotional sentiment score transformation object. In some embodiments, the emotional sentiment machine learning model may be used to generate the overall emotional sentiment score. The emotional sentiment score transformation object that is used to generate the overall emotional sentiment score may comprise an emotional sentiment score transformation weight value for each intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimension. In some embodiments, the emotional sentiment score transformation weight value for each intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimension may be representative of the overall composite of positive, negative, and/or neutral sentiments associated with the intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimension. In some embodiments, the emotional sentiment score transformation weight value may be any value between −1 and 1. An emotional sentiment score transformation weight value closer to −1 may indicate a more negative sentiment while an emotional sentiment score transformation weight value closer to 1 may indicate a more positive sentiment. An emotional sentiment score transformation weight value close to 0 may indicate a more neutral sentiment. In some embodiments, the emotional sentiment score transformation weight value for each intermediate sentiment evaluate dimension may be independent of the target composite sentiment designation. 
     The predictive analysis engine  112  may generate the overall emotional sentiment score based at least in part on the intermediate emotional sentiment score object and by utilizing an emotional sentiment score transformation object. In some embodiments, the predictive analysis engine  112  may perform one or more mathematical and/or logic operations on the intermediate emotional score and the emotional sentiment score transformation weight value for each intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimension. For example, the predictive data analysis computing entity  106  may perform multiplication operations between the intermediate emotional score and the emotional sentiment score transformation weight value for each intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimension. The predictive data analysis computing entity  106  may then sum the resulting values for each intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimension to generate an overall emotional sentiment score for the input text sequence. 
     In some embodiments, step/operation  403  may be performed in accordance with the various steps/operations of the process  700  that depicted in  FIG.  7   , which is a flowchart diagram of an example process for determining an emotional sentiment score transformation weight value. 
     At step/operation  701 , the predictive analysis engine  112  of the predictive data analysis computing entity  106  identifies a negative connotation value associated with each intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimension of the plurality of intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimension. In some embodiments, the negative connotation value associated with each intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimension may be described by the emotional sentiment score transformation object. In some embodiments, the negative connotation value associated with each intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimension may be indicative of the strength of the correlation between the corresponding intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimension and a negative sentiment. For example, an intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimension with a large negative connotation value may be most closely associated with a negative sentiment. 
     At step/operation  702 , the predictive analysis engine  112  of the predictive data analysis computing entity  106  identifies a positive connotation value associated with each intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimension of the plurality of intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimension. In some embodiments, the positive connotation value associated with each intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimension may be described by the emotional sentiment score transformation object. In some embodiments, the positive connotation value associated with each intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimension may be indicative of the strength of the correlation between the corresponding intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimension and a positive sentiment. For example, an intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimension with a large positive connotation value may be most closely associated with a positive sentiment. 
     At step/operation  703 , the predictive analysis engine  112  of the predictive data analysis computing entity  106  identifies a neutral connotation value associated with each intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimension of the plurality of intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimension. In some embodiments, the neutral connotation value associated with each intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimension may be described by the emotional sentiment score transformation object. In some embodiments, the neutral connotation value associated with each intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimension may be indicative of the strength of the correlation between the corresponding intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimension and a neutral sentiment. For example, an intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimension with a large neutral connotation value may be most closely associated with a neutral sentiment. 
     At step/operation  704 , the predictive analysis engine  112  of the predictive data analysis computing entity  106  determines an emotional sentiment score transformation weight value for each intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimension based at least in part on the negative connotation value for the intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimension, the positive connotation value for the intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimension, and the neutral connotation value for the intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimension. For example, the predictive analysis engine  112  may combine the three connotation values for an intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimension (e.g., emoji designation) to generate the emotional sentiment transformation weight value for the intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimension. Each of the negative connotation value, a neutral connotation value, and/or a positive connotation value associated with the intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimension may be a value between 0 and 1. In some embodiments, the emotional sentiment score transformation weight value may be based at least in part on the negative connotation value, a neutral connotation value, and/or a positive connotation value associated with the intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimension. In some embodiments, the emotional sentiment score transformation weight value may be determined by the difference between the positive connotation value associated with the intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimension and the negative connotation value associated with the intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimension. 
     In some embodiments, an emotional sentiment score transformation weight value for an intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimension is a vector comprising the positive connotation value for the intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimension, the neutral connotation value for the intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimension, and the negative connotation value for the intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimension. In some embodiments, an emotional sentiment score transformation weight value for an intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimension is an atomic value determined by applying a defined formula to the positive connotation value for the intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimension, the neutral connotation value for the intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimension, and the negative connotation value for the intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimension. 
     At step/operation  705 , the predictive analysis engine  112  of the predictive data analysis computing entity  106  determines the overall emotional sentiment score for the input text sequence with respect to the target composite sentiment designation based at least in part on each emotional sentiment score transformation weight value for an intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimension and each intermediate emotional scores described by the intermediate sentiment score object. The predictive analysis engine  112  may perform one or more mathematical and/or logic operations on the intermediate emotional score and the emotional sentiment score transformation weight value for each intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimension, as described above in step/operation  403 . The predictive data analysis computing entity  106  may then sum the resulting values for each intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimension to generate an overall emotional sentiment score for the input text sequence. In some embodiments, when each emotional sentiment score transformation weight value for an intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimension is a vector, the overall emotional sentiment score is a vector that is determined by applying a defined vector formula to each emotional sentiment score transformation weight value for a particular intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimension and the corresponding intermediate emotional score for the intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimension. In some embodiments, when each emotional sentiment score transformation weight value is a vector, the overall emotional sentiment score is an atomic value that is determined by applying a defined vector formula to each emotional sentiment score transformation weight value and corresponding intermediate emotional score to generate a vector and then applying a defined formula to the values of the resulting vector. 
     In some embodiments, step/operation  403  may be performed in accordance with the various steps/operations of the process  800  that depicted in  FIG.  8   , which is a flowchart diagram of an example process for generating an overall negative emotional sentiment score, an overall positive emotional sentiment score, or an overall neutral emotional sentiment score. 
     At step/operation  801 , the predictive analysis engine  112  of the predictive data analysis computing entity  106  identifies a negative connotation value associated with each intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimension of the plurality of intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimension. This may be substantially similar to the step/operation described in step/operation  701  in  FIG.  7   . 
     At step/operation  802 , the predictive analysis engine  112  of the predictive data analysis computing entity  106  identifies a positive connotation value associated with each intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimension of the plurality of intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimension. This may be substantially similar to the step/operation described in step/operation  702  in  FIG.  7   . 
     At step/operation  803 , the predictive analysis engine  112  of the predictive data analysis computing entity  106  identifies a neutral connotation value associated with each intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimension of the plurality of intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimension. This may be substantially similar to the step/operation described in step/operation  703  in  FIG.  7   . 
     At step/operation  804 , the predictive analysis engine  112  of the predictive data analysis computing entity  106  generates an overall negative emotional sentiment score, an overall positive emotional sentiment score, or an overall neutral emotional sentiment score based at least in part on each positive connotation value, each negative connotation value, each neutral connotation value, and each intermediate emotional score described by the intermediate sentiment score object. In some embodiments, the predictive analysis engine  112  may generate the overall negative emotional sentiment score, an overall positive emotional sentiment score, or an overall neutral emotional sentiment score based at least in part on the intermediate emotional sentiment score object and at least one of a positive connotation value, negative connotation value, or neutral connotation value by using the emotional sentiment score transformation model object. In some embodiments, the emotional sentiment machine learning model may be used to generate overall negative emotional sentiment score, an overall positive emotional sentiment score, or an overall neutral emotional sentiment score. 
     The predictive analysis engine  112  and/or the emotional machine learning model may generate an overall negative emotional sentiment score, an overall positive emotional sentiment score, or an overall neutral emotional sentiment score based at least in part on the intermediate emotional sentiment score object and by utilizing an emotional sentiment score transformation object. In some embodiments, the predictive data analysis computing entity  106  may perform one or more mathematical and/or logic operations on the intermediate emotional score and the negative connotation value, positive connotation value, or neutral connotation value described by the emotional sentiment score transformation weight value for each intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimension. For example, the predictive data analysis computing entity  106  may perform multiplication operations between the intermediate emotional score and the negative connotation value, positive connotation value, or neutral connotation value for each intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimension. The predictive data analysis computing entity  106  may then sum the resulting values for each intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimension to generate an overall negative emotional sentiment score, an overall positive emotional sentiment score, or an overall neutral emotional sentiment score for the input text sequence. 
     An operational example of an emotional sentiment score transformation object  600  is depicted in  FIG.  6   . The emotional sentiment score transformation object  600  may comprise an emotional sentiment score transformation weight value  605  for each intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimension  601 . The emotional sentiment score transformation object  600  depicted also comprises a negative connotation value  602 , neutral connotation value  603 , and positive connotation value  604  associated with each intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimension. 
     The negative connotation value  607 , neutral connotation value  608 , and positive connotation value  609  associated with the intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimension  606  sum to a total value of 1. In some embodiments, the value for the negative connotation value  607 , neutral connotation value  608 , and positive connotation value  609  is indicative of the percentage of correlation between the intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimension and the respective connotation value. For example, the largest connotation value for the intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimension  606  is the negative connotation value  607 . As such, the intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimension may be most closely associated with a negative connotation value. 
     The emotional sentiment score transformation weight value  610  for the intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimension  606  may be determined based at least in part on the negative connotation value  607 , neutral connotation value  608 , and positive connotation value  609 . In this instance, the emotional sentiment score transformation weight value  610  for the intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimension  606  is the difference between the negative connotation value  607  and the positive connotation value  609 . 
     In order to determine the overall emotional sentiment score for the input text sequence, the emotional sentiment score transformation weight values  605  may be multiplied with the intermediate emotional scores  502  (See  FIG.  5   ) for each corresponding intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimension. For example, the emotional sentiment score transformation weight values  610  for the intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimension  606  may be multiplied with the intermediate emotional scores  504  (See  FIG.  5   ) for the corresponding intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimension  503 . This may be performed for each intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimension and the overall emotional sentiment score may be generated by summing each of the resulting values. 
     In order to determine the overall negative emotional sentiment score, overall positive emotional sentiment score, or overall neutral emotional sentiment score for the input text sequence, the negative connotation value  607 , positive connotation value  609 , or neutral connotation value  608  may be multiplied with the intermediate emotional scores  502  (See  FIG.  5   ) for each corresponding intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimension. For example, the positive connotation value  609  for the intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimension  606  may be multiplied with the intermediate emotional scores  504  (See  FIG.  5   ) for the corresponding intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimension  503 . This may be performed for each intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimension and the overall positive emotional sentiment score may be generated by summing each of the resulting values. As another example, the negative connotation value  607  for the intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimension  606  may be multiplied with the intermediate emotional scores  504  (See  FIG.  5   ) for the corresponding intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimension  503 . This may be performed for each intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimension and the overall negative emotional sentiment score may be generated by summing each of the resulting values. 
     By using the techniques described in relation to step/operation  403 , various embodiments of the present invention address technical challenges related to efficiently and reliably performing predictive data analysis without the use of labelled data. For example, in some embodiments, proposed solutions disclose generating an overall emotional sentiment score for an input text sequence. An emotional sentiment machine learning model may process the input text sequence and generate an intermediate emotional sentiment score object comprising a plurality of intermediate emotional scores each associated with an intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimension. The overall emotional sentiment score may be generated based at least in part on the intermediate emotional sentiment score object, and by utilizing an emotional sentiment score transformation object, wherein the emotional sentiment score transformation object comprises an emotional sentiment score transformation weight value for each intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimension. One or more prediction-based actions may then be performed based at least in part on the overall emotional sentiment score. In doing so, various embodiments of the present invention address shortcomings of existing predictive data analysis solutions and enable solutions that are capable of efficiently and reliably performing predictive data analysis without the use of labeled training data. 
     At step/operation  404 , the predictive analysis engine  112  of the predictive data analysis computing entity  106  may perform one or more prediction-based actions based at least in part on the overall emotional sentiment score as generated in step/operation  403 . In some embodiments, the predictive analysis engine  112  of the predictive data analysis computing entity  106  may perform one or more prediction-based actions based at least in part on the overall negative emotional sentiment score, overall neutral emotional sentiment score, and/or overall positive emotional sentiment score. 
     For example, the one or more prediction based actions may comprise determining whether the overall emotional sentiment score satisfies one or more emotional sentiment score thresholds. In some embodiments, the one or more emotional sentiment score thresholds may be configured by a user. In some embodiments, the one or more emotional sentiment score thresholds may be automatically configured by the predictive analysis engine  112  and/or the emotional sentiment machine learning model. In some embodiments, in an instance the overall emotional sentiment score satisfies the one or more emotional sentiment score thresholds, the predictive analysis engine  112  and/or the emotional sentiment machine learning model may output an indication that the overall emotional sentiment score satisfies the one or more emotional sentiment score thresholds to one or more external computing entities  102 . In some embodiments, the external computing entity  102  may be configured to present one or more notifications to an end user of the computing entity. 
     In some embodiments, in an instance the overall emotional sentiment score fails to satisfy the one or more emotional sentiment score thresholds, the predictive analysis engine  112  and/or the emotional sentiment machine learning model may output an indication that the overall emotional sentiment score fails to satisfies the one or more emotional sentiment score thresholds to one or more external computing entities  102 . In some embodiments, the external computing entity  102  may be configured to present one or more notifications to an end user of the computing entity such that the end user is made aware that the input text sequence fails one or more emotional sentiment score thresholds. In some embodiments, the predictive analysis engine  112  and/or the emotional sentiment machine learning model may output an indication of which of the one or more emotional sentiment score thresholds the overall emotional sentiment score fails to satisfy to one or more external computing entities  102 . As such, a user may be prompted to revise the input text sequence manually. 
     In some embodiments, in an instance the overall emotional sentiment score fails to satisfy the one or more emotional sentiment score thresholds, the predictive analysis engine  112  may provide the overall emotional sentiment score to one or more processing models such that the one or more processing models may generate one or more modified text sequences based at least in part on the input text sequence and the target composite sentiment designation. In some embodiments, the one or more processing models are machine learning models may be used to generate one or more modified text sequences such that the one or more modifies text sequences satisfy the one or more emotional sentiment score thresholds. In some embodiments, the one or more words comprising the input text sequence may be modified to generate the modified text sequence. In some embodiments, the modified text sequence may be provided to the predictive analysis engine  112  of the predictive data analysis computing entity  106  for processing. In this way, the input text sequence may be iteratively modified until it satisfies the one or more emotional sentiment score thresholds. 
     An operational example of an input text sequence  901  and modified text sequence  902  is depicted in  FIG.  9   . The overall emotional sentiment score for the input text sequence  901  may have been determined to fail to satisfy one or more emotional sentiment score thresholds. As such, the a modified text sequence  902  may be generated. One or more words from the modified text sequence  902  have been generated by modifying (e.g., replacing, deleting, adding, and/or the like) words from the input text sequence  901 . However, the modified text sequence  902  still conveys the same message as the input text sequence. 
     Accordingly, using the above-described techniques, various embodiments of the present invention address technical challenges related to efficiently and reliably performing predictive data analysis without the use of labelled data. For example, in some embodiments, proposed solutions disclose generating an overall emotional sentiment score for an input text sequence. An emotional sentiment machine learning model may process the input text sequence and generate an intermediate emotional sentiment score object comprising a plurality of intermediate emotional scores each associated with an intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimension. The overall emotional sentiment score may be generated based at least in part on the intermediate emotional sentiment score object, and by utilizing an emotional sentiment score transformation object, wherein the emotional sentiment score transformation object comprises an emotional sentiment score transformation weight value for each intermediate emotional sentiment evaluation dimension. One or more prediction-based actions may then be performed based at least in part on the overall emotional sentiment score. In doing so, various embodiments of the present invention address shortcomings of existing predictive data analysis solutions and enable solutions that are capable of efficiently and reliably performing predictive data analysis without the use of labeled training data.
