Sentence Sentiment Classification Using Convolutional Neural Network in Myanmar Texts

Published: 18 May 2020 Publication History

Abstract

There are still few works on application of deep learning for Myanmar language. This paper presents an approach to use a convolutional neural network (CNN) model to classify sentence sentiment in Myanmar texts. A CNN model is constructed on the top of a word embedding model (i.e., Word2Vec), which converts words into vectors. The model classifies the input sentences and labels each sentence with positive, negative, neutral, unrelated and unreadable sentiments. The model is learnt from 1,152 sentences taken from the customers' reviews of products, which is provided by a telecommunication company. Then, the model is tested on 495 unseen sentences with the result of 86.26% accuracy and 82.58% average f-measure in prediction. The model is compared with the traditional machine learning (ML) classifiers, especially support vector machine (SVM), naïve Bayes (NB), and logistic regression (LR). The model outperforms these classifiers since SVM results in 64.44% accuracy, NB obtains 60.20% accuracy and LR gets 55.15% accuracy.
