Recognize The Polarity of Hotel Reviews using Support Vector Machine

Abstract

A brand is very dependent on consumer perceptions of the product or services. In assessing consumer perceptions of products and services, companies are often faced with data analysis problems. One of the data that is very useful to produce a picture of consumer perceptions of the products and services is review data. So that the company's ability to process review data means that the company has a picture of the strength of the brand it has. Some of the most popular machine learning algorithms for creating text classification models include the naive Bayes family of algorithms, support vector machines (SVM) and deep learning algorithms. In this research, SVM has been proven to be a reliable method in pattern recognition. In particular, this study aims to produce a model that can be used to classify the polarity of hotel reviews automatically. The experimental data comes from review data on hotels in Europe sourced from TripAdvisor with a total of 38000 reviews. We also measure the quality of the classification engine model. The test results of the SVM model built from hotel review data are quite good. The average accuracy of the classification engine is 92.48%. Because the recall and precision values ​​are balanced, the accuracy value is considered sufficient to describe the quality of the classification.
