Abstract

Recent years have seen rapid growth of research on sentiment analysis. In aspect-based sentiment analysis, the idea is to take sentiment analysis a step further and find out what exactly someone is talking about, and then measuring the sentiment if she or he likes or dislikes it. Sentiment analysis in Bengali language is progressing and is considered as an important research interest. Due to scarcity of resources like proper annotated dataset, corpora, lexicon such as part of speech tagger etc. aspect-based sentiment analysis hardly has been done in Bengali language. In this paper, we have conducted our experiments based on a recent work from 2018 using conventional supervised machine learning algorithms (RF, SVM, KNN) to perform one of the ABSA’s tasks - aspect category extraction. The work is done on two datasets named – Cricket and Restaurant. We then compared our results with the existing work. We used two traditional steps to clean data and found that less preprocessing leads to better F1 Score. For Cricket dataset, SVM and KNN performed better, resulting F1 score of 37% and 27%. For Restaurant dataset, RF and SVM achieved improved score of 35% and 39% respectively. Additionally, we selected two more algorithms LR and NB, LR achieved best F1 score (43%) for Restaurant dataset among all.
