Sentiment is classified into 3 polarities namely neutral, positive, and negative. The purpose of this comparison is to compare the best classification model on the topic of vaccine issue sentiment analysis, especially the Instagram platform. In this study, the stages started from the comment scrapping technique which resulted in 2,925 records. Preprocessing using NLP technique and weighting using TF-IDF technique. Next, the SMOTE technique was performed to avoid imbalancing class. The ratio of training and testing data is 9:1. The results showed that the best classification is SVM = 98.30%, while the KNN method is 80.03%.
