Exercise

Comparing performance of n-gram models

You now know how to conduct sentiment analysis by converting text into various n-gram representations and feeding them to a classifier. In this exercise, we will conduct sentiment analysis for the same movie reviews from before using two n-gram models: unigrams and n-grams upto n equal to 3.

We will then compare the performance using three criteria: accuracy of the model on the test set, time taken to execute the program and the number of features created when generating the n-gram representation.
