Abstract

E-commerce plays a key role in digital transformation programs. The extensive use of social networks has allowed customers and consumers to freely express their opinions about products and services, and to express their emotions and experiences, which has had a great impact on online sales businesses, hence the emergence of what is known as Voice of the Customer (VoC). The efficient processing and intelligent analysis of the entire volume of unstructured textual information generated for capturing the user-satisfaction degree is a challenging task, and demands the application of Natural Language Processing technologies, specifically, Sentiment Analysis. This work constitutes a first approach of the Sentiment Analysis technologies in e-commerce developed by CITMATEL. A model of computational processing and analysis of textual information that guides the implementation of a VoC project, with impact on e-commerce, is presented. As part of this model, a concrete Sentiment Analysis solution is developed, whose partial evaluations on a test dataset of product reviews where were obtained high precision and recall which makes it suitable for deployment in the enterprise.
