This work presents a solution through the application of Machine Learning (ML) for sentiment analysis and thus improve analysis, execution time and customer satisfaction. The scope of this research is limited to using the Support Vector Machine (SVM) supervised learning technique for the intended analysis. The model derives from the ML technique making use of cross validation. The applied methodology is the CRISP-ML(Q) Methodology.
