Abstract

The increasing use of emojis in online communication reflects emotional expression that is often more immediate and intuitive than text. This study proposes a lightweight sentiment classification approach that utilizes only emoji features extracted from social media posts, without relying on textual content. The importance of this research lies in its relevance to short-form digital content, where textual sentiment cues are minimal or absent. To address the classification problem, we implement and compare multiple machine learning models including Random Forest (RF), Support Vector Machine, and an ensemble Voting Classifier combining both. Emoji tokens were vectorized using character-level count vectorization, and performance was evaluated using 5-fold cross-validation to ensure robustness and generalizability. Results show that the ensemble model achieved the highest average accuracy of 93.6%, outperforming the individual classifiers. These findings confirm that emojis alone can serve as reliable indicators of sentiment and support the deployment of fast, interpretable, and scalable models for social media sentiment analysis.

Abstract

Sentiment analysis plays a vital role in understanding user perspectives, especially in domains such as game reviews where user feedback influences product perception and engagement. This study presents a comparative approach using Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU), hyperparameter-tuned GRU, and Bidirectional GRU models to classify sentiments in a dataset of game reviews. The experiment begins with standard preprocessing and tokenization steps, followed by vectorization and supervised training. Hyperparameter optimization is conducted using Keras Tuner to identify the most effective configuration of embedding dimensions, GRU units, dropout rates, and learning rates. The best model, a Bidirectional GRU with tuned parameters, achieves a validation accuracy of 85.37% and shows superior performance across key metrics such as precision, recall, and F1-score. Despite the relatively small and imbalanced dataset, the Bidirectional GRU model demonstrates robust generalization. This study also highlights future directions, including class balancing techniques and the integration of pretrained word embeddings to further improve model performance.
