Abstract

Sentiment analysis is a technique that aims to measure comments and news through artificial intelligence. The objective of this work is to investigate and map which is the most used language in the field of machine learning, as well as which NPL algorithms are most used for the application of sentiment analysis, and also to find which algorithm has the highest accuracy in this application. As a methodology, a Systematic Literature Review - RSL was elaborated, where 22 articles from the sources: Google Scholar and Scielo were analyzed. Such studies were selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria and also via String search. It was observed that the most used language is Python, since the most used algorithms are Naive Bayes, Support Vector Machines (SVM), Random Forest and Logistic Regression. Among them, the algorithm that presented the highest accuracy was under context between SVM and Random Forest.
