Sentiment analysis has been increasingly viewed as a major research area of Natural Language Processing from both an academic and an industrial standpoint. Automatic classification of natural language unit has become a major target of sentiment analysis. Current models on document classification, however, are limited to short text span and could not yield an accurate classification on news and articles.
This project aims to present an effective solution to document classification of real news and articles, which is a pipelined system consisting of representation learning and classification. In my work, various document representation learning methods and classification techniques have been investigated. In total of 9 models have been created and evaluated to classify real news and articles into three categories: Positive, Neutral and Negative. With elaborate experiments, our results show Word Embeddings (WE) and Random Forests (RF) model outperformed all pre-existing models with a classification accuracy as high as 60%.
