Leveraging Nature-Inspired Algorithms for Feature Selection in Sentiment Analysis: An Evaluation of Particle Swarm Optimization Effectiveness
Dwiz Dua, Avtar Singh · 2025
The Sentiment Analysis deals with algorithms that recognize and classify views expressed in textual data. It is an important piece of natural language processing (NLP). This research emphasizes how SA serves as one of the essential powerful tools by which businesses are enabled to understand customers' attitudes, preferences and behaviors. Analysis of unstructured data from social media reviews and feedback can lead to insights from which businesses make important decisions, drive customer satisfaction and boost brand reputations. There is much importance on sentiment analysis as it converts raw textual data into a meaningful conversion into text. It aids organizations in understanding customer opinions about their brands easily in this online generation and watching trends emerge. Reactive provision becomes possible here against customer expectations and possible issues that could arise from such an opinion landscape. This research also investigates the study of models on deep learning and other machine learning approaches for sentiment analysis. The relevant feature selection from much bigger datasets is one of the key challenges. Natureinspired algorithms such as Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) would prove important in this regard. PSO enhances the overall performance of sentiment analysis models through the iterative traversal of feature subsets by modeling social behavior. By applying PSO for feature selection, researchers can successfully identify the most salient features that affect sentiment classification significantly. This not only reduces the computational cost but also improves accuracy of the model. This paper covers a complete introductory survey on sentiment analysis and emphasizes how particle swarm optimization may revolutionize analytical skills.
