Arabic Sentiment Analysis for ChatGPT Using Machine Learning Classification Algorithms: A Hyperparameter Optimization TechniqueJust Accepted

In the realm of ChatGPT's language capabilities, exploring Arabic Sentiment Analysis emerges as a crucial research focus. This study centers on ChatGPT, a popular machine learning model engaging in dialogues with users, garnering attention for its exceptional performance and widespread impact, particularly in the Arab world. The objective is to assess people's opinions about ChatGPT, categorizing them as positive or negative. Despite abundant research in English, there is a notable gap in Arabic studies. We assembled a dataset from Twitter, comprising 2,247 tweets, classified by Arabic language specialists. Employing various machine learning algorithms, including Support Vector Machine (SVM), Logistic Regression (LR), Random Forest (RF), and Naive Bayes (NB), we implemented hyperparameter optimization techniques such as Bayesian optimization, Grid Search, and random search to select the best hyperparameters which contribute to achieve the best performance. Through training and testing, performance enhancements were observed with optimization algorithms. SVM exhibited superior performance, achieving 90% accuracy, 88% precision, 95% recall, and 91% F1 score with Grid Search. These findings contribute valuable insights into ChatGPT's impact in the Arab world, offering a comprehensive understanding of sentiment analysis through machine learning methodologies.
