Abstract

Thispaperpresentsacomparativestudyontheperformanceofbinary- and multi-class Deep Neural Network classification models that have been trained with the optimized hyperparameters. Four sequential models are developed using Tensorflow and Keras to perform sentiment classification of product reviews posted on Amazon, IMDb, Twitter and Yelp. Preprocessing is carried out to cleanse text reviews and to extract informative features. 5-fold cross evaluation results demonstrate that the final multiclass model perform with an accuracy of 74.7% and 72.4%, whereas the binary model achieves of 80.0% and 69.5% indi- cating better performance. The conclusion of this study is that an optimized binary model architecture can be used to train multiclass classification models and save significant amounts of computing time.
