title = "Examining the Impact of Discretization Technique on Sentiment Analysis for the Greek Language",
abstract = "Nowadays, information, communication and interaction between people worldwide have been facilitated by the rapid development of technology and they are mainly achieved through the internet. Internet users are now new creators of information data and express their ideas, their opinions, their feelings and their attitudes about products and services rather than passive information recipients. Given the evolution of modern technological advances, such as the proliferation of mobile devices social networks and services is extending. User-generated content in social media constitutes a very meaningful information source and consists of opinions towards various events and services. In this paper, we present a methodology that aims to analyze Greek text and extract indicative info towards users' opinions and attitudes. Specifically, we describe a supervised approach adopted that analyzes and classifies comments and reviews into the appropriate polarity category. Discretization techniques are also applied to improve the performance and the accuracy of classification procedures. Finally, we present an experimental evaluation that was designed and conducted and which revealed quite interesting findings.",
