NBSVM

NBSVM is an approach to text classification proposed by Wang and Manning (https://nlp.stanford.edu/pubs/sidaw12_simple_sentiment.pdf) that takes a linear model such as SVM (or logistic regression) and infuses it with Bayesian probabilities by replacing word count features with Naive Bayes log-count ratios.
Accuracy - 91.5%

(Note - This code was just for practice and I did not consider hyperparameter tuning for most cases)
