Numerous viewers choose to watch political or presidential debates highlights via TV or internet, rather than seeing the whole debate nowadays, which requires a lot of time. However, the task of making a debate summary, which can be considered neutral and does not give out a negative nor a positive image of the speaker, has never been an easy one, due to personal or political beliefs bias of the video maker. This study came up with a solution that generates highlights of a political event, based on twitter social network flow. Twitter streaming API is used to detect an event's tweets stream using specific hashtags, and detect on a timescale the extreme changes of volume of tweets, which will determine the highlight moments of our video summary at first, then a process is set up based on a group of ontologies that analyze each tweet of these moments to calculate the percentage of each sentiment’s positivity, then classify those moments by category (positive, negative or neutral).
