In this project, students will implement a Naive Bayes Classifier (NBC) for sentiment analysis on a dataset containing reviews and their respective star ratings. The datasets, “train.csv” and “test.csv”, will be provided. A review with a 5-star rating will be considered positive, while all other ratings will be considered negative. Do not use any publicly available code-vour code will be checked against public implementations or Al- generated codes.
The project consists of three tasks:
Task 1: Feature Selection (10 points)
• Students will preprocess “train.csv” and select the top 1000 words (by frequency) as word features for their model. All other words will be ignored.
• Please print out the top 20-50 words from the selected features.
• Preprocessing Guideline:
a. Convert all text to lowercase.
b. Remove special characters.
c. Tokenize the text into words.
D. Remove stop words.
Task 2: Model Training and Evaluation (15 points)
• Using “train.csv” and “test.csv”, which they will use to train and evaluate their Naive Bayes Classifier with Laplace Smoothing
o Laplace Smoothing: Implement Laplace smoothing in the parameter estimation. For an attribute Xi with k values, Laplace correction adds 1 to the numerator and k to the denominator of the maximum likelihood estimate, o Evaluation measure: Accuracy
• Please describe your observations and provide an analysis of their model’s performance.
Task 3: Learning Curve Analysis (5 points)
• Students will plot a learning curve by varying the amount of training data used [10%, 30%, 50%, 70%, 100%]. The testing set will remain unchanged.
• For this plotting task only, students may use external plotting packages like the MatplotLib.
• Students will describe their observations and provide an analysis of the learning curve.
