Recurrent Neural Network for Text Calssification

Tensorflow implementation of RNN(Recurrent Neural Network) for sentiment analysis, one of the text classification problems. There are three types of RNN models, 1) Vanilla RNN, 2) Long Short-Term Memory RNN and 3) Gated Recurrent Unit RNN.

Data: Movie Review

• Movie reviews with one sentence per review. Classification involves detecting positive/negative reviews (Pang and Lee, 2005)
• Download "sentence polarity dataset v1.0" at the Official Download Page
• Located in <U>"data/rt-polaritydata/"</U> in my repository
• rt-polarity.pos contains 5331 positive snippets
• rt-polarity.neg contains 5331 negative snippets

Usage

Train

• positive data is located in <U>"data/rt-polaritydata/rt-polarity.pos"</U>

• negative data is located in <U>"data/rt-polaritydata/rt-polarity.neg"</U>

• "GoogleNews-vectors-negative300" is used as pre-trained word2vec model

• Display help message:

   python train.py --help
  

• Train Example:

  1. Vanilla RNN

  

   python train.py --cell_type "vanilla" \
  -pos_dir "data/rt-polaritydata/rt-polarity.pos" \
  -neg_dir "data/rt-polaritydata/rt-polarity.neg"\
  -word2vec "GoogleNews-vectors-negative300.bin"
  

  2. Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) RNN

  

   python train.py --cell_type "lstm" \
  -pos_dir "data/rt-polaritydata/rt-polarity.pos" \
  -neg_dir "data/rt-polaritydata/rt-polarity.neg"\
  -word2vec "GoogleNews-vectors-negative300.bin"
  

  3. Gated Reccurrent Unit (GRU) RNN

  

   python train.py --cell_type "gru" \
  -pos_dir "data/rt-polaritydata/rt-polarity.pos" \
  -neg_dir "data/rt-polaritydata/rt-polarity.neg"\
  -word2vec "GoogleNews-vectors-negative300.bin"
  

Evalutation

• Movie Review dataset has no test data.

• If you want to evaluate, you should make test dataset from train data or do cross validation. However, cross validation is not implemented in my project.

• The bellow example just use full rt-polarity dataset same the train dataset

• Evaluation Example:

   python eval.py \
  -pos_dir "data/rt-polaritydata/rt-polarity.pos" \
  -neg_dir "data/rt-polaritydata/rt-polarity.neg" \
  -checkpoint_dir "runs/1523902663/checkpoints"
