Classifying text using a Naive Bayes classifier

In this section, we are going to get a list of sentences and classify them based on the user's sentiment. We want to tell whether the sentence carries a positive or a negative sentiment. Dimitrios Kotzias et al created this dataset for their research paper, From Group to Individual Labels using Deep Features. They collected a list of random sentences from three different websites, where each sentence is labeled with either 1 (positive sentiment) or 0 (negative sentiment).

In total, there are 2,745 sentences in the data set. In the following sections, we are going to download the dataset, preprocess it, and classify the sentences in it.
