Abstract
Sentiment Analysis (SA) in Natural Language Processing (NLP) involves analyzing perceptions, attitudes, and emotions from text. It is crucial for decision-making and consumer insights. Recent studies focus on developing Lexicons for SA research. Understanding the construction and evaluation of existing lexicons is key to advancing development efforts. Evaluation and benchmarking of lexicons are vital for identifying the most suitable ones and establishing best practices. Factors like effectiveness and importance must be considered when building or selecting lexicons. This research outlines three key phases: Determining Lexicons, Identifying Evaluation Criteria, and Engaging Experts. The study aims to enhance understanding of lexicon development processes and improve future guidelines. Efforts in lexicon development can benefit from a structured approach that considers various criteria for evaluation. The research emphasizes the importance of expert input in refining lexicons for optimal performance. Evaluating lexical criteria helps in identifying gaps and areas for improvement in sentiment analysis tools. Benchmarking different lexicons aids in selecting the most appropriate ones for specific applications or domains. Establishing best practices in lexicon development involves thorough evaluation against predefined criteria to ensure quality and reliability. Expert opinions play a crucial role in validating the significance of developed lexicons for sentiment analysis tasks. The research methodology involves systematic identification of lexicons relevant criteria, and experts to inform best practices in the field of sentiment analysis. By focusing on these three key phases, this study aims to contribute valuable insights into enhancing sentiment analysis through improved lexicon development processes.
