What is this?
Sentiment analysis predicts positive/negative (or star-level) opinion from review or social text.
Why should you care?
AIPredict flags angry reviews and merchant disputes before they hit public feeds.
See it live — copy this example
Use a .NET console or Web API project with Microsoft.ML. Run dotnet run after pasting.
public class ReviewRow { public string Text; public bool Positive; }
var pipe = ml.Transforms.Text.FeaturizeText("Features", nameof(ReviewRow.Text))
.Append(ml.BinaryClassification.Trainers.FastTree());
var model = pipe.Fit(train);
var pred = ml.Model.CreatePredictionEngine<ReviewRow, SentimentPred>(model)
.Predict(new ReviewRow { Text = "Late delivery, terrible packaging" });What happened?
- Binary Positive label or multi-class stars.
- Evaluate with AUC/F1; tune threshold for alert volume.
Practice next
- Label Positive from stars≥4.
- FastTree on FeaturizeText.
- Evaluate AUC on holdout.
- Try Sdca for speed.
- Add product category feature.
Remember
FeaturizeText + classifier. Threshold for alerts. Evaluate F1.
AIPredict review sentiment
Negative review triggers merchant alert.
Outcome: Response time drops on hot tickets.
