SENTIMENT BASED RATING PREDICTION
USING BERT & LSTM
Abstract:
Sentiment analysis has become a crucial aspect in understanding the opinions and
attitudes expressed in text data. In various domains such as e-commerce, social
media, and customer reviews, sentiment analysis aids in decision-making
processes. One common application is predicting ratings based on sentiment
expressed in reviews. In this study, we propose a hybrid approach that combines
Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT) and Long
Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks for sentiment-based rating prediction.
Firstly, we preprocess the textual data, tokenizing it and converting it into
numerical representations. We utilize the pre-trained BERT model to extract
contextualized word embeddings, capturing intricate semantic meanings and
context. These embeddings are then fed into an LSTM network, which effectively
captures sequential information in the text.
The hybrid model is trained on a large dataset of reviews with associated ratings.
During training, the model learns to predict the rating score based on the sentiment
expressed in the text. We employ techniques such as mini-batch training and
dropout regularization to enhance model performance and prevent overfitting.

To evaluate the performance of our proposed model, we conduct experiments on
multiple benchmark datasets, including reviews from various domains such as
movies, products, and restaurants. We compare the performance of our hybrid
approach with other traditional machine learning methods and pure deep learning
models.
Experimental results demonstrate that the hybrid BERT-LSTM model outperforms
other methods in terms of accuracy and robustness. By leveraging the power of
BERT for contextualized embeddings and LSTM for sequential information
processing, our model effectively captures the nuances of sentiment expressed in
text, leading to more accurate rating predictions.

Existing System:
In the existing system, sentiment-based rating prediction typically relies on
traditional machine learning methods or single deep learning architectures.
Traditional methods often use feature engineering techniques combined with
classifiers like Support Vector Machines or Random Forests to predict ratings
based on sentiment analysis. These methods, while effective to a certain extent,
may struggle to capture the complex nuances of language and context.
On the other hand, deep learning models, particularly recurrent neural networks
(RNNs) like LSTM, have shown promising results in sentiment analysis tasks by
capturing sequential information in text data. However, pure LSTM models might
still lack the ability to fully understand context and nuances in text.
BERT (Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers) has emerged as
a powerful pre-trained model for natural language understanding, capturing context
and semantics effectively. However, BERT alone doesn't model sequential
information. In the existing system, researchers have explored using BERT
embeddings combined with traditional machine learning models or simple neural
networks for sentiment analysis tasks.

While these existing systems achieve decent performance, they still have
limitations. Traditional methods may struggle with capturing complex features, and
pure LSTM models might not fully exploit the contextual information provided by
pre-trained models like BERT. Therefore, there's a need for a more advanced
approach that combines the strengths of both BERT and LSTM to improve
sentiment-based rating prediction.
Existing system Disadvantages:
In the existing systems for sentiment-based rating prediction, there are several
disadvantages. Firstly, traditional machine learning methods rely heavily on
manual feature engineering, which can be time-consuming and may not capture all
the nuances of sentiment expressed in text. These methods often struggle with
understanding complex linguistic structures and context, leading to limited
accuracy.
Pure deep learning models, such as LSTM networks, while capable of capturing
sequential information, may not effectively leverage the rich contextual
representations offered by pre-trained models like BERT. LSTM models alone
may not fully understand the intricate semantics and context in text data, especially
in cases where there are subtle linguistic nuances.

On the other hand, while BERT excels in capturing contextual information and
semantic meaning, it doesn't inherently model sequential relationships in the text.
Existing systems often use BERT embeddings combined with simple classifiers or
neural networks, but these approaches may not fully exploit the sequential nature
of the data.
Moreover, both traditional and pure deep learning methods may suffer from issues
like overfitting, especially when dealing with small or noisy datasets. Training
deep learning models requires a large amount of annotated data, which might not
always be available or feasible to obtain.
Proposed system:
In our proposed system for sentiment-based rating prediction, we aim to address
the limitations of existing methods by leveraging the strengths of Bidirectional
Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT) and Long Short-Term
Memory (LSTM) networks. Our approach involves a hybrid model that combines
the contextual understanding of BERT with the sequential information processing
capability of LSTM.
We preprocess the textual data and use the pre-trained BERT model to extract
contextualized word embeddings, capturing intricate semantic meanings and
context. These embeddings are then fed into an LSTM network, which effectively

captures sequential information in the text. By combining BERT's contextual
embeddings with LSTM's sequential processing, our model can better understand
the sentiment expressed in the text, including subtle nuances and contextual
information.
During training, we employ techniques such as mini-batch training and dropout
regularization to enhance model performance and prevent overfitting. The model is
trained on a large dataset of reviews with associated ratings, learning to predict the
rating score based on the sentiment expressed in the text.
To evaluate the performance of our proposed model, we conduct experiments on
multiple benchmark datasets from various domains such as movies, products, and
restaurants. We compare the performance of our hybrid approach with traditional
machine learning methods, pure deep learning models, and existing sentiment
analysis techniques.
Our preliminary results show promising improvements in accuracy and robustness
compared to existing methods. By effectively combining BERT and LSTM, our
proposed system can better capture the complexities of sentiment in text data,
leading to more accurate and reliable rating predictions across different domains.
Overall, our approach contributes to advancing the field of sentiment analysis and
rating prediction, offering a powerful framework for understanding and analyzing
textual data in various applications.
Proposed system Advantages:

Our proposed system for sentiment-based rating prediction offers several
advantages over existing methods. Firstly, by combining Bidirectional Encoder
Representations from Transformers (BERT) with Long Short-Term Memory
(LSTM) networks, our model can effectively capture both contextual information
and sequential relationships in text data. BERT provides rich contextual
embeddings that capture semantic meaning and linguistic nuances, while LSTM
processes these embeddings to understand the sequential structure of the text. This
hybrid approach allows our model to better understand the sentiment expressed in
reviews, leading to more accurate rating predictions.
Secondly, our model reduces the need for manual feature engineering, which is
common in traditional machine learning approaches. By leveraging pre-trained
BERT embeddings, we can automatically extract relevant features from text data,
saving time and effort while also potentially capturing more subtle sentiment cues.
Additionally, our proposed system is robust and adaptable to different domains and
datasets. BERT's pre-training on large corpora ensures that our model has a strong
understanding of language, allowing it to generalize well across various domains.
This adaptability is particularly advantageous when dealing with diverse types of
reviews, such as those for movies, products, or restaurants.
Furthermore, our model addresses issues of overfitting through techniques like
mini-batch training and dropout regularization. These methods help prevent the
model from memorizing noise in the training data, leading to better generalization
and improved performance on unseen data.
