Sentiment analysis poses a significant challenge due to the inherent subjectivity of natural language and the prevalence of unstandardized dialects in social networks. Regrettably, existing literature lacks a dedicated focus on network representation learning for sentiment classification. This paper addresses this gap by investigating ten machine learning algorithms, including support vector machine (SVM), random forest (RF), logistic regression (LR), and Naive Bayes (NB). Our approach integrates text network analysis and sentiment analysis to propose a comprehensive solution. We begin by applying text preprocessing techniques and converting a text corpus into a text network using word co-occurrence. Subsequently, we employ network analysis techniques to extract features based on network topology and node attributes. These network-derived features serve as inputs for sentiment prediction on Yelp reviews. Through the incorporation of diverse text network features and various machine learning algorithms, we achieve significant enhancements in sentiment classification performance. Our evaluation demonstrates an improved area under curve (AUC) of 83% on the Yelp reviews corpus, underscoring the efficacy of integrating network features to enhance sentiment classifiers. This research underscores the critical role of network representation and its potential impact on sentiment analysis, highlighting the prospect of harnessing network features for sentiment classification tasks.

A major and demand issue in the telecommunications industry is the prediction of churn customers. Churn describes the customer who attrites from the current provider to competitors searching for better service offers. Companies from the Telco sector frequently have customer relationship management offices it is the main objective in how to win back defecting clients because preserve long-term customers can be much more beneficial than gain newly recruited customers. Researchers and practitioners are paying great attention to developing a robust customer churn prediction model, especially in the telecommunication business by proposed numerous machine learning approaches. Many approaches of Classification are established, but the most effective in recent times is a tree-based method. The main contribution of this research is to predict churners/non-churners in the Telecom sector based on project pursuit Random Forest (PPForest) that uses discriminant feature analysis as a novelty extension of the conventional Random Forest for learning oblique Project Pursuit tree (PPtree). The proposed methodology leverages the advantage of two discriminant analysis methods to calculate the project index used in the construction of PPtree. The first method used Support Vector Machines (SVM) while, the second method used Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) to achieve linear splitting of variables during oblique PPtree construction to produce individual classifiers that are robust and more diverse than classical Random Forest. It is found that the proposed methods enjoy the best performance measurements e.g. Accuracy, hit rate, ROC curve, Lift, H-measure, AUC. Moreover, PPForest based on LDA delivers effective evaluators in the prediction model. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
