Sentiment analysis for reviews of restaurants in Myanmar text

Abstract

Sentiment analysis is the analysis of the feeling such as attitude, emotion and opinion. Sentiment analysis on English Language has become large and popular field of research area with many commercial applications. Researchers from different countries want to build sentiment analysis systems in their own language. This paper proposes the creation of Myanmar sentiment lexicon for food and restaurant domain and analyses the Myanmar text reviews of customers using lexicon-based sentiment analysis for the recommendation. To our knowledge, this is the first work for sentiment analysis of Myanmar text comments. The first challenge is the absence of annotated data and sentiment lexicons. In this paper, we address this approach to sentiment analysis for Myanmar Language and generate the context-independent sentiment rules for Myanmar Language.
