This research article attempts to provide a recent survey on neuro-fuzzy approaches for feature selection and classification. Feature selection acts as a catalyst in reducing computation time and dimensionality, enhancing prediction performance or accuracy and curtailing irrelevant or redundant data. The neuro-fuzzy approach is used for feature selection and for providing some insight to the user about the symbolic knowledge embedded within the network. The neuro–fuzzy approach combines the merits of neural network and fuzzy logic to solve many complex machine learning problems. The objective of this article is to provide a generic introduction and a recent survey to neuro-fuzzy approaches for feature selection and classification in a wide area of machine learning problems. Some of the existing neuro-fuzzy models are also applied on standard datasets to demonstrate the applicability of neuro-fuzzy approaches.
Sentiment analysis is a solution that enables the extraction of a summarized opinion or minute sentimental details regarding any topic or context from a voluminous source of data. Even though several research papers address various sentiment analysis methods, implementations, and algorithms, a paper that includes a thorough analysis of the process for developing an efficient sentiment analysis model is highly desirable. Various factors such as extraction of relevant sentimental words, proper classification of sentiments, dataset, data cleansing, etc. heavily influence the performance of a sentiment analysis model. This survey presents a systematic and in-depth knowledge of different techniques, algorithms, and other factors associated with designing an effective sentiment analysis model. The paper performs a critical assessment of different modules of a sentiment analysis framework while discussing various shortcomings associated with the existing methods or systems. The paper proposes potential multidisciplinary application areas of sentiment analysis based on the contents of data and provides prospective research directions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
