Comparison of Machine Learning Algorithm Models in Bitcoin Price Sentiment Analysis

Abstract

Bitcoin is one of the digital payments that is currently booming, fast delivery makes bitcoin in great demand by many people, currently there are many digital currency exchanges that can be used, one of the well-known ones in Indonesia, namely Indodax. Indodax is a cryptocurrency exchange, not only an exchange, Indodax also provides a chat room containing investors' opinions. Opinions contained in the Indodax chat room can be used to determine whether comments are positive, neutral or negative, so that it can be an investor's decision to sell or buy bitcoin using sentiment analysis. The sentiment analysis process begins with collecting data using an instant data scraper on the Indodax website, data preprcoessing, labeling using vader lexicon, TF-IDF as word weighting, data splitting, naïve Bayes algorithm and support vector machine, feature selection xgboost and gradient boosting, model evaluation with confusion matrix, then comparing the results of the two algorithms. Based on the tests that have been carried out, naïve bayes obtained the best accuracy value of 70.7%, naïve bayes combined with XGBoost obtained the best accuracy value of 86.6%, while the Support vector machine obtained the best accuracy 86.1%, support vector machine combined with gradient boosting obtained the best accuracy value of 88%. Based on these results the use of feature selection can increase the accuracy value of the algorithm.
