There are total 20.286 K reviews which are annotated into three classes by three different experts. Vector space model, a.k.a bag of word model is applied for feature extraction which are later passed to Support Vector Machines (SVM) for sentiment classification. Experiments are conducted on MATLAB Linux server. The dataset is kept public for future use and experiments.
