Usage

Loading the Model

from pathlib import Path
import pickle

# Load the model components
model_dir = Path("path/to/model")

with open(model_dir / 'vectorizer.pkl', 'rb') as f:
    vectorizer = pickle.load(f)

with open(model_dir / 'classifier.pkl', 'rb') as f:
    classifier = pickle.load(f)

with open(model_dir / 'label_encoder.pkl', 'rb') as f:
    label_encoder = pickle.load(f)

Making Predictions

# Example reviews
reviews = [
    "This game is absolutely amazing! Best game I've played this year.",
    "It's okay, nothing special but not terrible either.",
    "Terrible game, waste of money and time."
]

# Transform and predict
X = vectorizer.transform(reviews)
predictions_encoded = classifier.predict(X)
predictions = label_encoder.inverse_transform(predictions_encoded)

print(predictions)
# Output: ['positive', 'mixed', 'negative']

# Get probabilities
probabilities = classifier.predict_proba(X)
print(probabilities)

Per-Class Performance

Class	Precision	Recall	F1-Score	Support
Positive	0.9242	0.9167	0.9204	45859
Mixed	0.5851	0.5840	0.5845	12697
Negative	0.8381	0.8546	0.8463	20181

Feature Importance

The model identifies important words/phrases for each sentiment class. See results.json for the complete feature importance analysis.

Limitations

The model is trained specifically on game reviews and may not generalize well to other domains
Performance may vary on reviews with sarcasm or nuanced sentiments
The model treats text as bag-of-words and doesn't capture word order

Training Details

This model was trained as part of a game review sentiment analysis project. For more information, see the project repository.
