SentimentPolarityAnalysis implements several classification models for determining the sentiment of text. The project aims to compare the performance of dictionary-based, k-NN, Bayes, MaxEnt, and SVM algorithms in sentiment analysis. This repository provides Python implementations and experimental results, offering insights into the strengths and weaknesses of each approach for sentiment classification.
This repository offers a comprehensive comparison of multiple sentiment analysis techniques. It provides modular implementations for various classifiers, allowing for easy experimentation and comparison. The project documents accuracy and performance metrics, including insights into computational complexity and trade-offs.
- Dictionary-based Classification: Utilizes a sentiment lexicon for classifying sentences based on word polarity.
- k-NN Classification: Employs the k-Nearest Neighbors algorithm for sentiment prediction.
- Bayes Classification: Implements a probabilistic approach based on Bayes' theorem for sentiment analysis.
- MaxEnt Classification: Applies Maximum Entropy classification for improved sentiment prediction accuracy.
- SVM Classification: Leverages Support Vector Machines for high-accuracy sentiment classification.
- Cross-Validation: Includes experiments with multiple k values and iterations for parameter tuning.
- Performance Evaluation: Provides metrics on accuracy, speed, and memory usage for different approaches.
The project demonstrates a functioning implementation of several sentiment analysis techniques. The code is well-structured, and the README provides clear instructions and experimental results.
