It consists of over 63,000 book reviews, each rated on a scale\nof 1 to 5 stars. We investigate the properties of the dataset, and present its\nstatistics. We explore using the dataset for two tasks: (1) sentiment polarity\nclassification; and (2) ratings classification. Moreover, we provide standard\nsplits of the dataset into training, validation and testing, for both polarity\nand ratings classification, in both balanced and unbalanced settings. We extend\nour previous work by performing a comprehensive analysis on the dataset. In\nparticular, we perform an extended survey of the different classifiers\ntypically used for the sentiment polarity classification problem. We also\nconstruct a sentiment lexicon from the dataset that contains both single and\ncompound sentiment words and we explore its effectiveness. We make the dataset\nand experimental details publicly available.","url_abs":"http://arxiv.org/abs/1411.6718v2","url_pdf":"http://arxiv.org/pdf/1411.6718v2.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"labr-a-large-scale-arabic-sentiment-analysis","repo_url":"https://github.com/mahmoudnabil/labr","is_official":0,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"none","reach":{"status":"ok","spdx":"GPL-2.0"}}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"arabic-sentiment-analysis","task_name":"Arabic Sentiment Analysis"},{"task_slug":"classification-1","task_name":"Classification"},{"task_slug":"classification","task_name":"General Classification"},{"task_slug":"sentiment-analysis","task_name":"Sentiment Analysis"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":"https://app.syntology.ai/?focus=1411.6718","mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
