Sentiment Classification Model Training Process

This document outlines the step-by-step process for training a sentiment classification model. The process includes data preprocessing, model creation, training, and evaluation.

Data Preprocessing

  1. Load and inspect the dataset:

    • Load the dataset and examine its structure, features, and labels.

  2. Clean the text:

    • Apply text preprocessing techniques such as removing special characters, punctuation, URLs, and HTML tags.
    • Normalize whitespace to standardize the text data.

  3. Tokenize the text:

    • Split the text into individual words or tokens.

  4. Convert text to sequences:

    • Use a tokenizer to map tokens to numerical sequences.
    • Replace tokens in the text with their respective indices.

  5. Pad sequences:

    • Ensure that all sequences have the same length by padding or truncating them to a fixed length.

  6. Split the dataset:

    • Split the preprocessed data into training and testing sets.
    • Optionally, create a validation set for model tuning.

  7. One-hot encode labels:

    • Convert the sentiment labels to one-hot encoded vectors.

Model Creation

  1. Initialize the model:

    • Create a sequential model using a deep learning framework such as TensorFlow or Keras.

  2. Add layers:

    • Add layers to the model architecture, such as an embedding layer, LSTM layer, dense layer, etc., based on the desired architecture design.

  3. Compile the model:

    • Specify the loss function, optimizer, and evaluation metric for training the model.

Model Training

  1. Train the model:

    • Fit the model to the training data using the fit function.
    • Specify the number of epochs, batch size, and validation data if applicable.

  2. Monitor training progress:

    • Track the training and validation loss and accuracy during each epoch to analyze the model's performance.

  3. Optimize hyperparameters:

    • Optionally, perform hyperparameter tuning to find the optimal values for hyperparameters such as learning rate, dropout rate, etc.

Model Evaluation

  1. Evaluate on the testing set:

    • Use the trained model to predict the sentiment labels for the testing data.

  2. Calculate evaluation metrics:

    • Compute evaluation metrics such as accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score to assess the model's performance.

  3. Analyze the results:

    • Examine the confusion matrix, classification report, and any other relevant metrics to gain insights into the model's strengths and weaknesses.

  4. Iterate and refine:

    • Based on the evaluation results, iterate and refine the model architecture, hyperparameters, or data preprocessing techniques to improve the model's performance.
