Customer Feedback Analyzer

International Journal of Engineering & Advanced Technology

Product reviews always act as a great source of information for a company. These reviews record the customer’s feedback on the product and services that the company provides. The problem that we face is that the number of reviews in these kinds of portals are in thousands for which manual analysis is time-consuming and inefficient. So, we plan to make an automated system using machine learning which can do the job of analyzing a large number of comments in seconds thereby increasing efficiency.
