Performance Analysis of Hyperparameters on a Sentiment Analysis Model

Abstract

This paper focuses on the performance analysis of hyperparameters of the Sentiment Analysis (SA) model of a course evaluation dataset. The performance was analyzed regarding hyperparameters such as activation, optimization, and regularization. In this paper, the activation functions used were adam, adagrad, nadam, adamax, and hard_sigmoid, the optimization functions were softmax, softplus, sigmoid, and relu, and the dropout values were 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, and 0.4. The results indicate that parameters adam and softmax with dropout value 2.0 are effective when compared to other combinations of the SA model. The experimental results reveal that the proposed model outperforms the state-of-the-art deep learning classifiers.
