Abstract
Sentiment Analysis (SA) or opinion mining has become one of the essential research fields whose application is clearly visible in a large variety of domains. Due to Arabic structure complexities at the level of morphology, orthography, and dialects, manual feature extraction is a time-consuming and challenging mission, Besides, Arabic Sentiment analysis (ASA) is very difficult and is considered a more difficult task compared to other languages.
In this paper, we discuss the issue of word embedding models that is very important in the field of Arabic Sentiment Analysis also provide a comparative analysis of the most famous word embedding models namely: Word2Vec, Glove, FastText, Elmo, and Bert. We found through this deep evaluation, that FaxtText, Elmo, and Bert embedding models outperform other Models.
