In this paper, we describe the participation of the SentiME++ system to the SemEval

2017 Task 4A "Sentiment Analysis in Twitter" that aims to classify whether

English tweets are of positive, neutral or negative sentiment. SentiME++ is an ensemble

approach to sentiment analysis that leverages stacked generalization to automatically

combine the predictions of five state-of-the-art sentiment classifiers. SentiME++

achieved officially 61.30% F1-score, ranking 12th out of 38 participants.
