The rapid expansion of e-commerce in Indonesia has resulted in a significant rise in the number of customer reviews, which serve as a valuable source of insight for understanding consumer satisfaction. This study aims to classify or identify sentiments from product reviews on the Tokopedia platform into three categories, using the Support Vector Machine algorithm. The classification method data were ethically collected through web scraping and include review text, ratings, and the number of “likes.”  The preprocessing stage involved several NLP techniques such as pre-procesesing data representation was generated using the Term Frequency–Inverse Document Frequency method, while the issue of class imbalance was addressed using the Synthetic Minority Over-sampling Technique.  Based on the test results, the SVM model achieved an accuracy of 79.48% on the test data using a linear kernel, showing the best performance in classifying positive sentiments. However, the classification of neutral and negative sentiments still requires improvement. This study demonstrates that the combination of the TF-IDF method, additional numerical features, and data balancing techniques can produce an an efficient sentiment analysis model within the e-commerce domain.

The growth of e-commerce in Indonesia has led to the emergence of various online shopping platforms, with Shopee being one of the most popular in Semarang City. User reviews on the Shopee application serve as a valuable data source for analyzing customer satisfaction levels; however, the large volume of data requires a systematic and accurate analytical approach. This study aims to analyze user review sentiments of the Shopee application using three machine learning algorithms: Random Forest, Naïve Bayes, and Support Vector Machine (SVM), as well as comparing the accuracy of these three algorithms. This research utilized 1000 reviews collected through web scraping from the Play Store, which were categorized into three classifications: positive, neutral, and negative sentiments. The analysis process encompassed pre-processing stages, feature extraction using TF-IDF, and classification using Random Forest, Naïve Bayes, and Support Vector Machine algorithms. The results demonstrated that the Random Forest algorithm achieved the highest accuracy at 96.19%, followed by Support Vector Machine with 95.71% accuracy, and Naïve Bayes with 84.76% accuracy. This research highlights the effectiveness of Random Forest and SVM in classifying user review sentiments towards the Shopee application.
