Description
Summary:The exponential growth in online reviews and recommendations availability drives sentiment classification, an interesting topic in industrial research. There is a vital requirement for organizations to explore client behaviour to assess the competitive business environment. This study aspires to examine and predict customer reviews using Transfer learning (TL) approaches. Reviews can span so many domains that it is challenging to gather annotated training data for all of them. Hence, this paper proposed an annotation algorithm to label a large unlabeled dataset. These reviews must be pulled and examined to predict the sentiment polarity, whether the review is positive, neutral, or negative. We propose a deep learning-based approach that learns to extract a meaningful representation for each review in an unsupervised fashion. Sentiment classifiers trained with this high-level feature representation outperform state-of-the-art methods on a benchmark of reviews of cosmetics brands on Amazon or other platforms. Using the BERT for sentiment analysis, we achieved the highest accuracy of 93.21% compared to previous studies.
