Minor Revisions

Dear authors,

Your article has not been recommended for publication in its current form. However, we do encourage you to address the concerns and criticisms of the reviewers and resubmit your article once you have updated it accordingly.

[# PeerJ Staff Note: Please ensure that all review comments are addressed in a rebuttal letter and any edits or clarifications mentioned in the letter are also inserted into the revised manuscript where appropriate. It is a common mistake to address reviewer questions in the rebuttal letter but not in the revised manuscript. If a reviewer raised a question then your readers will probably have the same question so you should ensure that the manuscript can stand alone without the rebuttal letter. Directions on how to prepare a rebuttal letter can be found at: https://peerj.com/benefits/academic-rebuttal-letters/ #]

Basic reporting

First of all, I would like to congratulate the author(s) for their work. Please be assured that I will evaluate the study only from a scientific point of view, without prejudice.

This work is a valuable and prudent work in the computer science community and social media area. Also, I can't end without saying that it is worth reading.

In the study, the author(s) evaluated by using Machine learning and deep learning, and transformer-based BERT approach models to predict sentiment analysis.

In addition, the authors claim that the proposed model shows superior performance compared to the classical methods.

Experimental design

Design and Writing

The article should be prepared by considering the journal template writing rules (see: https://peerj.com/about/author-instructions/cs).

Although the article was prepared with great effort, there are typographical errors in the most prominent parts of the article.

These deficiencies can't be tolerated for the valuable study.
From the use of abbreviations to reference notation, the article should be completely revised.

ex1. It is a simple feature extraction approach, yet produces good results.

- Also, choose correctly the verbs that emphasize the achievement results of the study.

ex2: The study Iqbal et al. (2022) used a deep learning long short-term memory (LSTM) model with various combinations of layers for sentiment categorization on five different product review datasets obtained from Twitter and Amazon.

- Attention should be paid to the use of abbreviations.

ex3: Sentiment classification is a major area of research in natural language processing (NLP), and various studies have utilized it to determine sentiments regarding different products and services.

- Some of your sentences should be shortened and clarified.

ex4. Several studies
just collected tweets and classified them into positive or negative sentiments, while many others deployed machine learning and deep learning models.

- Incomplete and inconsistent sentences should be completed. In addition, the article should be cleared of all grammatical errors by using the grammar check tool (For example, Grammerly or Ginger).

Validity of the findings

In the abstract section, clearly emphasize your main motivation for the preparation of the article.

Also, express numerically all the performance metrics obtained by the method proposed in the summary section.

The last sentence of the Abstract section must have been completed with a more striking sentence.

In the conclusion section, list your achievements with this study.

Clearly express your contribution to future studies and literature.

Compare your performance metrics with previous studies in the literature.


Satisfactory technical information about the method used is not presented. No mathematical expressions, from the evaluation metrics used to the algorithms, are included in the article.

Please clearly describe the methods and algorithms used.

Specify the parameters of the algorithms used separately.

Provide the motivation for the conclusion part.

Reviewer 2 ·

Basic reporting

1-Authors should review the article by paying attention to some spelling and spelling rules.
2-It is seen that many studies in the literature are not included. Related studies should be developed.

Experimental design

1- It is very important that the BERT model achieves higher performance than methods without a preprocessing stage such as deep learning.
2-I agree that the features selected with the Bag of Words technique achieve very high classification accuracy. However, why TF-IDF and Word Embeddings methods, which are feature extraction methods, are not considered in the study.
3-The limitations of the study should be discussed extensively in the discussion section.

Validity of the findings

1-The conclusion part of the study should be developed. The importance of the work and the success achieved should be emphasized.
