Enhancement Bag-of-Words Model for Solving the Challenges of Sentiment Analysis

Abstract—Sentiment analysis is a branch of natural language processing, or machine learning methods. It becomes one of the most important sources in decision making. It can extract, identify, evaluate or otherwise characterizes from the online sentiments reviews. Although Bag-Of-Words model is the most widely used technique for sentiment analysis, it has two major weaknesses: using a manual evaluation for a lexicon in determining the evaluation of words and analyzing sentiments with low accuracy because of neglecting the language grammar effects of the words and ignore semantics of the words. In this paper, we propose a new technique to evaluate online sentiments in one topic domain and produce a solution for some significant sentiment analysis challenges that improves the accuracy of sentiment analysis performed. The proposed technique relies on the enhancement bag-of-words model for evaluating sentiment polarity and score automatically by using the words weight instead of term frequency. This technique also can classify the reviews based on features and keywords of the scientific topic domain. This paper introduces solutions for essential sentiment analysis challenges that are suitable for the review structure. It also examines the effects by the proposed enhancement model to reach higher accuracy. Keywords—Sentiment analysis; Bag-Of-Words; sentiment analysis challenges; text analysis; Reviews I
