Analyzing Consumer Mindset Metrics in Arabic Dialectical Texts on Social Media Platforms Using Deep Learning

In particular, the Arabic text on social media provides a wealth of information about consumer sentiment, attitudes, and behavior, as digital change occurs more quickly than ever. Examining this form of text is difficult because of the morphological complexity of the Arabic language and its dialect variability. Deep learning models were employed to address these challenges to classify Arabic social media comments into satisfaction, loyalty, purchase intention, and service quality. Modern deep learning techniques, such as Arabic Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (AraBERT) and Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory Network (BiLSTM), are used in this research. The results demonstrate the importance of the models employed, with AraBERT yielding the best results across all measurements concerning the unbalanced dataset. Meanwhile, when it comes to a balanced dataset, the BiLSTM performs slightly better than AraBERT. This research provides evidence to support the viability of these models for the classification of short Arabic text. It lays a foundation for applying the deep learning model to derive insights from Jordanian dialect’s social media comments. The impact of the balanced dataset on the performance of deep learning models is also confirmed by this research.
