Sentiment Analysis Using Simplified Long Short-term Memory Recurrent Neural Networks
share
LSTM or Long Short Term Memory Networks is a specific type of Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) that is very effective in dealing with long sequence data and learning long term dependencies. In this work, we perform sentiment analysis on a GOP Debate Twitter dataset. To speed up training and reduce the computational cost and time, six different parameter reduced slim versions of the LSTM model (slim LSTM) are proposed. We evaluate two of these models on the dataset. The performance of these two LSTM models along with the standard LSTM model is compared. The effect of Bidirectional LSTM Layers is also studied. The work also consists of a study to choose the best architecture, apart from establishing the best set of hyper parameters for different LSTM Models.
