RapidMiner and Gataframework are also used to help create sentiment analysis to measure classification values. The results obtained by optimization using Particle Swam Optimization (PSO) using the support vector machine (SVM) algorithm and the accuracy value obtained is 78.02%, with a precision value of 78.73%, a recall value of 82.16%, and an AUC of 0.848]]>
