摘要：Sentiment analysis is a kind of natural language processing that determines the feelings of people in a piece of text they are positive, negative, or neutral. Analysis of Arabic sentiments is considered a complex task due to the large linguistic and negation terms in Arabic language. Most recent researches are based on detecting the polarity term after the negation particle immediately. This can reduce the accuracy and performance of the analysis because many sentiments especially written in slang Arabic do not depend on having a negation particle before the polarity term. The aim of this paper is to develop a hybrid sentiment classification based on automatic lexicon algorithm and machine learning approach. The automatic lexicon is developed with a negation algorithm for both modern standard Arabic and colloquial Arabic. This algorithm detects the negation particle and traces all polarity terms even if they do not come after the negation particle. An exceptional negation is embedded into the negation algorithm which is based on the Arabic exceptional pattern in reversing the polarity term after the negation process. The experimental results are conducted using supervised machine learning methods such as SVM, KNN and NB that achieve high results in accuracy, precision, recall, and F-measure which are compared with the experimental results in three recent research papers.
