We compared four supervised machine learning algorithms of Naïve Bayes, Maximum Entropy, SVM and the character based N-Gram Language Model for sentiment classification of Turkish political columns. We also discussed in detail the problem of sentiment classification in the political news domain. We observe from empirical findings that the Maximum Entropy and N-Gram Language Model outperformed the SVM and Naïve Bayes. Using different features, all the approaches reached accuracies of 65% to 77%.
