Abstract

In this paper, we describe our participation in the Rest-Mex 2022 forum for the Sentiment Analysis task. The objective of the task was to create a model capable of predicting the polarity of the sentiment expressed by a tourist’s opinion, as well as the type of attraction visited. For this task, we followed two different approaches: a lexicon-based approach and a Machine Learning approach. In the lexicon-based approach, we use a dictionary with words that have a numerical value that specifies the association with some emotions or attractions. We trained a logistic regression model for the Machine Learning approach to predict sentiment polarity and attractions. Our proposal obtained a combined score for both tasks of 0.85, which is only 0.03 away from the best reported result.
