Abstract
Internet is the most significant source of getting up thoughts, surveys for a product, and reviews for any type of service or activity. A Bulky amount of reviews are produced on daily basis on the cyberspace about online products and objects. For example, many individuals share their remarks, reviews and feelings in their own language utilizing social media networks such as twitter and so on. Considering their colossal Quantity and size, it is exceedingly knotty to look at with and interpret specified surveys. Sentiment Analysis (SA) aims at extracting people's opinion, felling and thought from their reviews in social websites. SA has recently gained significant consideration, however the vast majority of the resources and frameworks constructed so far are tailored to English as well as English like Western languages. The requirement for designing frameworks for different dialects is expanding, particularly as blogging and micro-blogging sites are becoming popular. This paper presents a comprehensive review of approaches of Urdu sentiment analysis and outlines of relevant gaps in the literature.

Sentiment analysis techniques, challenges, and opportunities: Urdu language-based analytical study
PeerJ Computer Science
Sentiment analysis in research involves the processing and analysis of sentiments from textual data. The sentiment analysis for high resource languages such as English and French has been carried out effectively in the past. However, its applications are comparatively few for resource-poor languages due to a lack of textual resources. This systematic literature explores different aspects of Urdu-based sentiment analysis, a classic case of poor resource language. While Urdu is a South Asian language understood by one hundred and sixty-nine million people across the planet. There are various shortcomings in the literature, including limitation of large corpora, language parsers, and lack of pre-trained machine learning models that result in poor performance. This article has analyzed and evaluated studies addressing machine learning-based Urdu sentiment analysis. After searching and filtering, forty articles have been inspected.

Creating sentiment lexicon for sentiment analysis in Urdu: The case of a resource‐poor language
Expert Systems, 2019
The sentiment analysis (SA) applications are becoming popular among the individuals and organizations for gathering and analysing user's sentiments about products, services, policies, and current affairs. Due to the availability of a wide range of English lexical resources, such as part-of-speech taggers, parsers, and polarity lexicons, development of sophisticated SA applications for the English language has attracted many researchers. Although there have been efforts for creating polarity lexicons in non-English languages such as Urdu, they suffer from many deficiencies, such as lack of publically available sentiment lexicons with a proper scoring mechanism of opinion words and modifiers. In this work, we present a word-level translation scheme for creating a first comprehensive Urdu polarity resource: "Urdu Lexicon" using a merger of existing resources: list of English opinion words, SentiWordNet, English-Urdu bilingual dictionary, and a collection of Urdu modifiers. We assign two polarity scores, positive and negative, to each Urdu opinion word. Moreover, modifiers are collected, classified, and tagged with proper polarity scores. We also perform an extrinsic evaluation in terms of subjectivity detection and sentiment classification, and the evaluation results show that the polarity scores assigned by this technique are more accurate than the baseline methods.

SENTIMENT ANALYSIS FOR MICRO-BLOGGING PLATFORMS IN ARABIC
Sentiment Analysis (SA) concerns the automatic extraction and classification of sentiments conveyed in a given text, i.e. labelling a text instance as positive, negative or neutral. SA research has attracted increasing interest in the past few years due to its numerous real-world applications. The recent interest in SA is also fuelled by the growing popularity of social media platforms (e.g. Twitter), as they provide large amounts of freely available and highly subjective content that can be readily crawled.
Harnessing English Sentiment Lexicons for Polarity Detection in Urdu Tweets: A Baseline Approach
11th IEEE International Conference on Semantic Computing, 2017
It is human instinct to express emotions, and with increasing use of social media, it is more often being expressed through text messages than ever before. The emotions and sentiments encoded in these short text messages are of keen interest to various marketing and advertising agencies. Thus, various lexicons and algorithms have been devised for English, and French language to extract these hidden sentiments. On the other hand, Urdu (or Hindi) the third widely-spoken language in the world [1], lacks any such sentiment lexicons or algorithms. Instead of starting from scratch, we make use of the existing English sentiment lexicons to develop the first sentiment lexicon for Urdu. This lexicon will serve as a baseline for future lexicons developed through more intimate knowledge of Urdu language. Furthermore, we compare its performance with various machine learning (ML) approaches. We also make public the labeled dataset developed by us for Urdu sentiment analysis. We hope that this lexicon and dataset will serve as a benchmark for evaluation of future lexicons and ML approaches for the Urdu language.

Arabic / English Sentiment Analysis: An Empirical Study
The Web 2.0 refers to the second generation of World Wide Web (WWW). Web 2.0 allows Internet users to collaborate and share information online, and therefore create large virtual societies. Web 2.0 includes social network sites, Wikis, Blogs, Web services, podcasting, Multimedia sharing services ...etc. Arab users of social network sites (Facebook and Twitter) generate daily a large volume of Arabic and English textual reviews related to different social, political and scientific subjects. These reviews could be about different products, political events, sport teams, economics, video clips, restaurants, books, actors/actress, new films and songs, universities ...etc. This large volume of different Arabic and English textual reviews cannot be analyzed manually. Therefore sentiment analysis is used to identify sentiments with their subjectivity from this huge volume of reviews. In order to conduct this study a small dataset consisting of 4,050 Arabic and English reviews were collected. Three polarity dictionaries were also created (Arabic, English, and Emoticons). The collected dataset and those dictionaries were used to conduct a comparison between two free online sentiment analysis tools (SocialMention

Opinion Mining Of Urdu Language
People prefer to share and express opinions in their own language. Internet is a biggest repository for opinion sharing. Opinion mining refers to the use of NLP, text analysis and computational linguistics to identify and extract subjective information in source material. Opinion mining for Urdu language is not well explored. Proposed approach is based on the identification and extraction of adji-units and decision from the given text using lexicon-based approach. Adji-units are the expressions, which contain the subjective text in a sentence. Proposed approach uses two-step lexicon to extract opinions from text chunks. Unluckily, for Urdu language no such lexicon exists. Goal is to develop a diverse two-step lexicon and highlight the linguistic as well as technical aspects of this multidimensional research problem. The performance of the proposed work is evaluated on multiple texts and the achieved results are quite satisfactory.
A Sentiment Lexicon for Urdu
2020
Sentiment analysis is a data mining technique, which measures the inclination of people’s opinions. Recent studies have shown that the sentiment lexicon can be developed using automatic and manual tagging techniques. The seminal works on Urdu lexicon done so far do not actually denote a broad Lickert scale for data tagging and also do not cover all the open word classes. The current study aims to develop a sentiment lexicon and test its validity using manual and automatic methods. The dictionary-based method is used to design this lexicon using three authentic Urdu dictionaries. The data was tagged on a five point lickert scale i.e. -2 to +2 using the formulated guidelines. The lexicon is composed of four-word classes namely nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs. Once the lexicon was developed using manual tagging techniques it was tested both manually and automatically. The manual testing yielded an inter annotator agreement of 75% while the automatic testing included the comparing ...
Urdu Sentiment Corpus (v1.0): Linguistic Exploration and Visualization of Labeled Dataset for Urdu Sentiment Analysis
2nd IEEE International Conference On Information Science & Communication Technology, 2020
The significance of the labeled dataset is not obscure from artificial intelligence practitioners. We have seen much phenomenal work, in natural language processing, for many languages (like English, Chinese, and Arabic, etc.), due to the reason for the availability of substantial data. For the Urdu language, despite the third largest spoken language in the world, very little research work is shown; hence, it is adjudged as a ‘morphologically rich’ but ‘resource-poor’ language. Further, the researchers working on Urdu natural language processing are in a quandary due to the lack of availability of labeled/annotated datasets. This paper shares the data, “Urdu Sentiment Corpus” (USC), and insights therein, of Urdu tweets for the sentiment analysis and polarity detection. The dataset is consisting of tweets, such that it casts a political shadow and presents a competitive environment between two separate political parties versus the government of Pakistan. Overall, the dataset is comprising over 17, 185 tokens with 52% records as positive, and 48% records as negative. This paper shares the visual insights (from document-level to word-level) into the textual similarities, manifold-learning, etc. In addition to it, this paper also presents a Part-of-Speech wise analysis and an unpretentious technique for the extraction of sentiment lexicons from the corpus.
