Abstract
The purpose of this article was to highlight the sentiment analysis for specific Arabic tweets related to the COVID-19 Worldwide Epidemic. The technique proposed in this paper focused on using the machine learning algorithm with the purpose of applying sentiment analysis on a dataset which contained 4,575 Arabic tweets on the COVID-19 pandemic while also employing the Logistic Regression and Naive Bayes algorithms as classifiers for comparing the achieved results between them. This study showed the suitability and efficiency of a system using machine learning models for the analysis of Arabic tweets. The experimental outcomes revealed that the highest accuracy was reached by employing the Logistic Regression algorithm", namely, 97%". Twitter is one of the most widely used gateways of social media for the people who want to express their opinions and emotions. This study contributes to highlighting the task of sentiment analysis for the Arabic tweets about the COVID-19 pandemic by predicting the people's awareness about the Coronavirus in the Arab World.
