Multi-Domain Sentiment Analysis on Ibu Kota Nusantara (IKN) Tweets Using CNN-LSTM

Abstract

The construction of Ibu Kota Nusantara (IKN) is a national project aimed at relocating Indonesia’s capital from Jakarta to East Kalimantan. This project has sparked various public opinions, which are widely expressed through social media platforms such as Twitter. Sentiment analysis of these opinions is crucial for understanding public perception of the IKN project. However, previous sentiment analysis studies have often overlooked domain variations in the analyzed data, such as economy, environment, and politics, each of which has distinct linguistic characteristics. This study aims to develop a multi-domain sentiment analysis model by comparing three main methods: CNN-LSTM, CNN, and LSTM. The multi-domain model is designed to address the differences in characteristics across domains and enhance the model’s ability to capture more complex sentiment patterns. The results indicate that multi-domain models outperform single-domain models, as they improve classification performance by leveraging information from multiple domains. CNN-LSTM proved to be the best model, achieving the most balanced Accuracy and F1-Score across various scenarios. The use of Keyword Embedding also significantly enhances model performance, particularly benefiting LSTM, which initially had the lowest performance.
