Deep Learning for Natural Language Processing: Sentiment Classification of Naver Movie Reviews

Natural Language Processing (NLP) is a technology that enables computers to understand and process human language, and it has achieved many innovations due to advances in deep learning in recent years. In this course, we will learn how to classify the sentiment of movie reviews using the Naver movie review dataset as an example of natural language processing utilizing deep learning.

1. Overview of Natural Language Processing (NLP)

Natural Language Processing (NLP) is a fusion field of computer science and linguistics, which is a technology that allows computers to understand and interpret human language to process its meaning. NLP can be divided into several stages:

  • Tokenization: The process of splitting sentences into words or phrases.
  • Stemming and Lemmatization: The process of finding the base form of a word.
  • POS tagging: The process of identifying the part of speech for each word.
  • Context Understanding: The process of understanding the meaning and grammatical structure of sentences.

2. Sentiment Analysis through Deep Learning

Sentiment Analysis is a technology that extracts and classifies emotions from text, aiming to categorize feelings as positive, negative, or neutral. Using deep learning models allows the effective learning of complex patterns. Representative models include LSTM (Long Short-Term Memory), RNN (Recurrent Neural Networks), and CNN (Convolutional Neural Networks).

3. Introduction to the Naver Movie Review Dataset

The Naver movie review dataset is a dataset that collects reviews of movies, where each review contains either a positive or negative sentiment. This dataset serves as excellent material for training sentiment analysis models. We will explore the characteristics of the dataset and how to use it.

  • Data Structure: The review content is labeled with the corresponding sentiment of that review.
  • Data Preprocessing: Preprocessing steps such as string handling and stopword removal must be performed.

4. Environment Setup and Dependencies

To proceed with this course, the following libraries and tools must be installed:

!pip install numpy pandas matplotlib seaborn tensorflow keras nltk

5. Data Preprocessing

Before training the model, the data preprocessing step is necessary. This helps improve the quality of the data and enhance the model’s performance.

import pandas as pd

# Load data
data = pd.read_csv('naver_movie_reviews.csv')

# Remove missing values
data.dropna(inplace=True)

# Define text cleaning function
def clean_text(text):
    # Additional cleaning operations can be performed
    return text

data['cleaned_reviews'] = data['reviews'].apply(clean_text)

6. Text Vectorization

To apply text data to the model, a vectorization process is required. Commonly used methods include embedding techniques such as TF-IDF or Word2Vec.

from sklearn.feature_extraction.text import TfidfVectorizer

# TF-IDF vectorization
vectorizer = TfidfVectorizer(max_features=5000) 
X = vectorizer.fit_transform(data['cleaned_reviews']).toarray()
y = data['sentiment']

7. Model Building and Training

We will build a deep learning model and train it for sentiment analysis. Here is an example with an LSTM model:

from keras.models import Sequential
from keras.layers import Embedding, LSTM, Dense

model = Sequential()
model.add(Embedding(input_dim=5000, output_dim=128, input_length=X.shape[1]))
model.add(LSTM(units=64, return_sequences=False))
model.add(Dense(1, activation='sigmoid'))

model.compile(loss='binary_crossentropy', optimizer='adam', metrics=['accuracy'])

# Model training
model.fit(X, y, epochs=10, batch_size=32, validation_split=0.2)

8. Model Performance Evaluation

After training the model, we evaluate its performance. Evaluation methods include accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score.

from sklearn.metrics import classification_report

# Prediction
y_pred = model.predict(X_test)

# Print classification report
print(classification_report(y_test, y_pred.round()))

9. Results and Conclusion

In this course, we performed sentiment analysis using deep learning techniques on the Naver movie review dataset. We explored the entire process from data preprocessing to model training and evaluation, laying the groundwork to apply to various natural language processing problems in the future.

10. Additional Resources

The fields of deep learning and natural language processing are rapidly developing, offering endless possibilities for the future. We hope this course helps enhance your natural language processing skills!
