ABSTRACT
Social media has emerged as a significant source of big data, offering a vast amount of social data and evidence. However, much of this data remains untapped and underutilized. Nowadays, various organizations, including corporations, government agencies, and data enthusiasts, are actively seeking to extract and leverage this data to create data models that drive actionable insights, helping them achieve their goals. This study focuses on examining customer sentiments towards Bank A, one of the largest banking and financial institutions in the Philippines with a history spanning over 50 years. By employing natural language processing techniques, we aimed to gain a comprehensive understanding of the general sentiment towards the bank's products, services, and overall brand satisfaction. To accomplish this, we annotated the sentiments and utilized them as training and testing data for a Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) Recurrent Neural Network (RNN). This model was designed to classify tweets in both English and Filipino languages into two polarities and demonstrated an accuracy rate of 88.50%.
