In this problem, we will develop a sentiment analysis tool. We have provided a data set containing short customer reviews, or snippets of reviews, for products. Each has been labeled as a positive or negative review. For instance, below is an example of a positive review
i downloaded a trial version of computer associates ez firewall and antivirus and fell in love with a computer security system all over again
and a negative onei dont especially like how music files are unstructured ; basically they are just dumped into one folder with no organization , like you might have in windows explorer folders and subfolders
from the training set. We will use Support Vector Machines to learn to classify such review sentences into positive and negative classes. We will use the word occurrence features: if a particular word (or more generally, a token, which may include punctuation, numbers, etc.) w occurs in an example, the corresponding feature is set to 1, otherwise to 0.
