Abstract

      Social media has become a primary channel for customers to express their opinions on products and services, providing valuable insights for business strategy development. However, classifying customer opinions from diverse text structures and informal language presents a significant challenge, requiring deep learning techniques to enhance the accuracy of sentiment analysis. This research aims to 1) Analyze customer feedback from social media platforms and identify and classify sentiments as positive, negative and neutral. And 2) Evaluate the performance of deep learning models in analyzing customer feedback from social media platforms. This research is applied research that utilizes deep learning techniques to analyze customer feedback from social media platforms such as Twitter and Facebook. The process begins by collecting customer feedback from both platforms. The data is then cleaned and prepared for analysis. Next, deep learning models are used to classify the feedback into three main categories positive sentiment, negative sentiment and neutral sentiment. The model's performance will be evaluated using four key metrics accuracy, precision, recall and F1-score to assess the effectiveness of the model in classifying customer feedback. The results of the study showed that. 1.) The BERT model achieved the highest accuracy in classifying sentiments with an accuracy of 93.0% for positive sentiment and 92.8% for negative sentiment. The LSTM model had an accuracy of 89.2% but it did not perform as well as BERT in classifying positive sentiment. The CNN model had an accuracy of 86.9% and its performance was lower than both BERT and LSTM in capturing complex meanings. And 2) The performance evaluation of the deep learning models revealed that BERT achieved the highest accuracy at 92.5% followed by LSTM with an accuracy of 88.7% and CNN with an accuracy of 86.3% respectively.
