摘要

With the fast distribution of the social networks, more users begin to freely express their opinions on different media such as Twitter and Facebook. Emotions, opinions, and information from daily lives are shared by people on these social media network. This study investigates the performance of deep residual network (ResNet) on Arabic sentiment analysis using Word2Vec for text representation. Two datasets are used for the evaluation of the model; ASTD standard dataset consists of 10,000 Arabic Tweets, and a new artificial dataset collected from Twitter in Jordan, it includes 7100 Tweets related to different topics annotated after preprocessing with four sentiments: positive, negative, objective, and neutral. Experimental results proved that the ResNet model obtained an accuracy of 96.59% and 80.30% on the two datasets, respectively. Furthermore, the results showed a preference for the proposed method results comparing to previous works.
