Multi Class Data Classification to Improve Accuracy in Sentiment Analysis using Machine Learning

Sentiment analysis means classifying a text into different emotional classes. These days most of the sentiment analysis techniques divide the text into either binary or ternary classification in this paper we are classifying the movie reviews into 5 classes. Multi class sentiment analysis is a technique which can be used to know the exact sentiment of a review not just polarity of a given textual statement from positive to negative. So that one can know the precise sentiment of a review . Multi class sentiment analysis has always been a challenging task as natural languages are difficult to represent mathematically. The number of features are also generally large which requires huge computational power so to reduce the number of features we will use parts-of-speech tagging using textblob to extract the important features. Sentiment analysis is done using machine learning, where it requires training data and testing data to train a model. Various kinds of models are trained and tested at last one model is selected based on its accuracy and confusion matrix. It is important to analyze the reviews in textual form because large amount of reviews is present all over the web. Analyzing textual reviews can help the firms that are trying to find out the response of their products in the market. In this paper sentiment analysis is demonstrated by analyzing the movie reviews, reviews are taken from IMDB website.
