We consider the problem of classifying documents not by topic, but by overall sentiment, e.g., determining whether a review is positive or negative. Using movie reviews as data, we find that standard machine learning techniques definitively outperform human-produced baselines. However, the three machine learning methods we employed (Naive Bayes, maximum entropy classification, and support vector machines) do not perform as well on sentiment classification as on traditional topic-based categorization. We conclude by examining factors that make the sentiment classification problem more challenging.

  1. Stochastic versus Deterministic in Stochastic Gradient Descent

    math.OC 2025-09 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Treating stochastic and deterministic gradients separately in mini-batch SGD yields faster convergence and smaller error radius than uniform treatment, with further gains under strong convexity.

  2. RideKE: Leveraging Low-Resource, User-Generated Twitter Content for Sentiment and Emotion Detection in Kenyan Code-Switched Dataset

    cs.CL 2025-02 reject novelty 5.0 of 10

    RideKE is a new code-switched Kenyan tweet dataset for ride-hailing sentiment and emotion, where XLM-R performs best on sentiment but all models struggle with emotion classification.

  3. Enhancing Hyperbole and Metaphor Detection with Their Bidirectional Dynamic Interaction and Emotion Knowledge

    cs.CL 2025-06 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    An emotion-guided LLM prompting framework with bidirectional interaction improves hyperbole and metaphor detection, but the headline gains are measured against a weak BERT baseline.
