Technology has dominated a huge part of human life. Furthermore, technology users use language continuously to express feelings and sentiments about things. The science behind identifying human attitudes toward a particular product, service,or topic is one of the most active fields of research, and it is called sentiment analysis. While the English language is making real progress in sentiment analysis daily, other less-resourced languages, such as Kurdish, still suffer from fundamental issues and challenges in Natural Language Processing (NLP). This paper experimentswith the recently published medical corpus using the classical machine learning method and the latest deep learning tool in NLP and Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT). We evaluated the findings of both machine learning and deep learning. The outcome indicates that BERT outperforms all the machine learning classifiers by scoring (92%) in accuracy, which is by two points higher than machine learning classifiers.
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.
