Sentiment Analysis

Foundations ✓ → Models → NLP & advanced → MLOps

Models · 2 — Classify & regress · ~6 min · Module 4: Classification Models

What is this?

Sentiment analysis classifies text as positive/negative (or finer) from reviews and feedback.

Why should you care?

AIPredict product pages show review health from ML.NET text models.

See it live — copy this example

Use a .NET console or Web API project with Microsoft.ML. Run dotnet run after pasting.

var pipeline = ml.Transforms.Text.FeaturizeText("Features", "ReviewText")
    .Append(ml.BinaryClassification.Trainers.SdcaLogisticRegression());
var pred = engine.Predict(new Review { ReviewText = "Delivery was late but support helped" });

What happened?

  • Binary sentiment is a solid start.
  • Clean text.
  • Calibrate threshold for “highlight on site”.

Practice next

  1. FeaturizeText + Sdca.
  2. Evaluate on holdout reviews.
  3. Predict mixed sentence.
  4. Cut stars ≥4 as positive.
  5. Try adding title column.

Remember

Text → sentiment. Clean reviews. Threshold for UI.

AIPredict review sentiment

Catalog shows % positive.

Outcome: Merchants act on negative spikes.
