Making predictions with word2vec

In this recipe, we will use the previously learned embedding strategies to perform classification.

Getting ready

Now that we have created and saved CBOW word embeddings, we need to use them to make sentiment predictions on the movie dataset. In this recipe, we will learn how to load and use pre-trained embeddings and use these embeddings to perform sentiment analysis by training a logistic linear model to predict a good or bad review.

Sentiment analysis is a really hard task to perform because the human language makes it very hard to grasp the subtleties and nuances of the true meaning of what is meant. Sarcasm, jokes, and ambiguous references all make this task exponentially harder. We will...
