Sentiment Analysis of Movie Reviews w/ Word2Vec & LSTM (PyTorch)

This is my implementation of Sentiment Analysis using Long-Short Term Memory (LSTM) Network. The code performs:

1. Loading and pre-processing raw reviews & labels data
2. Building a deep neural network including Word2Vec embeddings and LSTM layers
3. Test the performance of the model in classifying a random review as postive or negative.

Main Components of the Network

I. Word2Vec Embedding - used to reduce dimensionality, as there are tens of thousands of words in the entire vocabulary of all reviews. Each of those words are represented as vectors in 400-dimension space.

II. LSTM Layers - used to look at the review texts as the sequence of inputs, rather than individual, in order to take advantage of the bigger context of the text.
