This research will implement Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) model and Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) model in order to get the most accurate parameter for building the model and compare the accuracy of the prediction. The RNN (LSTM) 7-layer model are the most accuracy, precision, recall, F1 score of and less loss compare with other three model. The accuracy is 80.99%, F1 80.16%, and loss 45.0%. The RNN (LSTM) had selected 7-layer as the model in development the google chrome extension to perform the tweet sentiment analysis.
