Sentiment Analyzer for Movie Reviews is a comprehensive tool designed to evaluate the sentiment of movie reviews. This project is an integral part of the Movie Counsel web application, which empowers users to explore and discover movies tailored to their preferences.

Key Features:

• Sentiment Analyzer is implemented as a robust API using the FastAPI framework.
• The API is hosted on the Render cloud platform, ensuring scalability, reliability, and ease of deployment.
• Sentiment analysis models are trained on a vast dataset comprising approximately 180,000 movie reviews sourced from IMDB.
• The reviews are scrapped from IMDB for both Hollywood and Bollywood releases from 2019 to September 2023 with help of Beautiful Soup.

The heart of any sentiment analysis model is the quality of its training data. Therefore, the dataset undergoes a rigorous preprocessing phase to optimize its quality for analysis.

Data Cleaning and Preprocessing Tasks Include:

• Correcting data formats to ensure uniformity and consistency with help of Pandas.
• Assigning review labels, i.e., classifying reviews as positive or negative based on the accompanying ratings.
• Removing special characters and symbols from the text, facilitating more accurate sentiment analysis.
• Applying word stemming techniques to further enhance the quality of the text data with help of nltk.
• visit the Google Colab notebooks in this 📁 for detailed analysis.

Sentiment Analyzer leverages state-of-the-art machine learning algorithms to create an accurate and robust sentiment classification model.

Model Building Highlights:

• Combination of machine learning algorithms, including Logistic Regression, Complement Naive Bayes, and XGBoost, to achieve precise sentiment classification.
• Incorporation of pretrained models such as roBERTa to expedite the training process and enhance overall performance.
• Continuous model evaluation and refinement to ensure the highest level of sentiment analysis accuracy.
• visit the Google Colab notebooks in this 📁 for detailed analysis.

To make sentiment analysis accessible and user-friendly, Sentiment Analyzer provides a comprehensive web API. Users can interact with the API to gain insights into the sentiment of movie reviews.

Key API Features:

• Accepts HTTP POST requests containing movie reviews as input.

• Returns the probability of both negative and positive sentiments predicted by each model.

• Enables users to integrate sentiment analysis capabilities into their own applications and projects.

• Request

{
  "reviews": "This movie was absolutely fantastic! I loved every moment of it."
}

• Response - model:[negative score, positive score]

{
    "logistic_regression": {[0.15, 0.85]},
    "complement_naive_bayes": {[0.18, 0.82]},
    "xgboost": {[0.13, 0.87]}
}
