Analyse des sentiments à partir des commentaires Facebook publiés en Arabe standard ou dialectal marocain par une approche d'apprentissage automatique
Abstract
Sentiment analysis is a process during which the semantic orientation or polarity (i.e. positive,
negative or neutral) of a given text is determined. This work deals with the sentiment
analysis for Facebook's comments written in Arabic Modern Standard or Moroccan Dialectal
from a Machine Learning perspective. The process starts by collecting and preparing the
Arabic Facebook comments that we have annotated using crowdsourcing. Then, several combinations
of extraction and weighting schemes for features construction was conducted to ensure
the highest performance of the developed classification models. In addition, to reduce
the dimensionality and improve the classification performance, a features selection method is
applied. Our Machine Learning approach was implemented with the purpose of analysing the
Facebook comments, written in Modern Standard Arabic or in Moroccan Dialectal Arabic, on
the real data.
