In this paper, we address the challenge of multilingual sentiment analysis using a traditional lexicon and rule-based sentiment instrument that is tailored to capture sentiment patterns in a particular language. Focusing on a case study of three closely related Scandinavian languages (Danish, Norwegian, and Swedish) and using three tailored versions of VADER, we measure the relative degree of variation in valence using the OPUS corpus. We found that scores for Swedish are systematically skewed lower than Danish for translational pairs, and that scores for Norwegian are skewed higher for both other languages. We use a neural network to optimize the fit between Norwegian and Swedish respectively and Danish as the reference (target) language.

Abstract The importance–performance analysis (IPA) is a widely used technique to guide strategic planning for the improvement of customer satisfaction. Compared with surveys, numerous online reviews can be easily collected at a lower cost. Online reviews provide a promising source for the IPA. This paper proposes an approach for conducting the IPA from online reviews for product design. Product attributes from online reviews are first identified by latent Dirichlet allocation. The performance of the identified attributes is subsequently estimated by the aspect-based sentiment analysis of IBM Watson. Finally, the importance of the identified attributes is estimated by evaluating the effect of sentiments of each product attribute on the overall rating using an explainable deep neural network. A Shapley additive explanation-based method is proposed to estimate the importance values of product attributes with a low variance by combining the effect of the input features from multiple optimal neural networks with a high performance. A case study of smartphones is presented to demonstrate the proposed approach. The performance and importance estimates of the proposed approach are compared with those of previous sentiment analysis and neural network-based method, and the results exhibit that the former can perform IPA more reliably. The proposed approach uses minimal manual operation and can support companies to take decisions rapidly and effectively, compared with survey-based methods.

Opinion mining and sentiment analysis are valuable to extract the useful subjective information out of text documents. Predicting the customer’s opinion on amazon products has several benefits like reducing customer churn, agent monitoring, handling multiple customers, tracking overall customer satisfaction, quick escalations, and upselling opportunities. However, performing sentiment analysis is a challenging task for the researchers in order to find the users sentiments from the large datasets, because of its unstructured nature, slangs, misspells and abbreviations. To address this problem, a new proposed system is developed in this research study. Here, the proposed system comprises of four major phases; data collection, pre-processing, key word extraction, and classification. Initially, the input data were collected from the dataset: amazon customer review. After collecting the data, preprocessing was carried-out for enhancing the quality of collected data. The pre-processing phase comprises of three systems; lemmatization, review spam detection, and removal of stop-words and URLs. Then, an effective topic modelling approach Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) along with modified Possibilistic Fuzzy C-Means (PFCM) was applied to extract the keywords and also helps in identifying the concerned topics. The extracted keywords were classified into three forms (positive, negative and neutral) by applying an effective machine learning classifier: Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). The experimental outcome showed that the proposed system enhanced the accuracy in sentiment analysis up to 6-20% related to the existing systems.

Background: Sentiment analysis is a contextual mining of text which determines viewpoint of users with respect to some sentimental topics commonly present at social networking websites. Twitter is one of the social sites where people express their opinion about any topic in the form of tweets. These tweets can be examined using various sentiment classification methods to find the opinion of users. Traditional sentiment analysis methods use manually extracted features for opinion classification. The manual feature extraction process is a complicated task since it requires predefined sentiment lexicons. On the other hand, deep learning methods automatically extract relevant features from data hence; they provide better performance and richer representation competency than the traditional methods. Objective: The main aim of this paper is to enhance the sentiment classification accuracy and to reduce the computational cost. Method: To achieve the objective, a hybrid deep learning model, based on convolution neural network and bi-directional long-short term memory neural network has been introduced. Results: The proposed sentiment classification method achieves the highest accuracy for the most of the datasets. Further, from the statistical analysis efficacy of the proposed method has been validated. Conclusion: Sentiment classification accuracy can be improved by creating veracious hybrid models. Moreover, performance can also be enhanced by tuning the hyper parameters of deep leaning models.
