Comparative Study of ML Models for Movie Sentiment Classification

other · 2026-05-23

A new arXiv paper (2605.22003) compares machine learning models for sentiment classification of movie reviews using the IMDb dataset. The study evaluates Naive Bayes, Logistic Regression, SVM, LightGBM, LSTM, and transformer-based models RoBERTa and DistilBERT. The authors note that ML models struggle with context and metaphysical sentiment due to reliance on statistical word representations. The paper employs NLP methodologies for preprocessing and assessment.
