Harnessing CNNs and Embedding Techniques for Enhanced Sentiment Classification
摘要
This study evaluates the performance of various embedding techniques combined with convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for sentiment analysis on two datasets: Amazon product reviews and IMDB movie reviews. Specifically, we assess three embedding approaches: GloVe, FastText, and Word2Vec. Our experiments reveal that the CNN + FastText configuration achieved the highest accuracy of 97.29% on the IMDB dataset, demonstrating its effectiveness in capturing semantic nuances through subword information. In contrast, the CNN + Word2Vec approach consistently underperformed, particularly on the Amazon dataset, with an accuracy of 92.06%. GloVe showed competitive results, in IMDB sentiment analysis, achieving an accuracy of 96.78%. The findings indicate that embedding choice significantly impacts model performance, highlighting the potential of FastText in sentiment analysis tasks.
