Abstract: In this research, a method of developing a machine model for sentiment processing in the Serbian language is presented. The Serbian language, unlike English and other popular languages, belongs to the group of languages with limited resources. Three different data sets were used as a data source: a balanced set of music album reviews, a balanced set of movie reviews, and a balanced set of music album reviews in English—MARD—which was translated into Serbian. The evaluation included applying developed models with three standard algorithms for classification problems (naive Bayes, logistic regression, and support vector machine) and applying a hybrid model, which produced the best results. The models were trained on each of the three data sets, while a set of music reviews originally written in Serbian was used for testing the model. By comparing the results of the developed model, the possibility of expanding the data set for the development of the machine model was also evaluated.
