customers. This modifies consumers’ attitudes and companies, or other stakeholders cannot
In the case of the Food and Beverage (F&amp;B) sector, which is one of the most dynamic sectors
in Greece, the use of social media networks is very high for multinational and large companies.
Delivery or take away food or coffee is very common, with the vast majority of consumers to
order from aggregators’ platforms (online digital markets). Thus, a large amount of data
containing useful information concerning the consumers’ preferences is generated from these
online digital markets. The produced data (evaluations) which is generated rapidly can be large
and cannot be mined and analyzed in real-time due to the lack of resources. Greek and many
other European languages, show a low density of linguistic resources and knowledge bases,
making it difficult to perform text mining and natural language processing tasks. The situation
is getting even more difficult by the fact that Greek is a high-dimensional language with a lot
of complex grammatical and syntax rules. The purpose of this research is to propose some
Natural Language Processing tools for performing effective text mining tasks in the Greek
Language helping the stakeholders in extracting, analyzing, and inferring
meaningful
information. The tools are tested in a dataset that contains 80,500 customers’ reviews written
in Greek Language and the findings will be practical and significant, as not enough attention
has been paid to Natural Language Processing techniques and tools used in combination with
non-English, like the modern Greek language.</p>
