dataset_imdb {textdata}

IMDB Large Movie Review Dataset

Description

The core dataset contains 50,000 reviews split evenly into 25k train and 25k test sets. The overall distribution of labels is balanced (25k pos and 25k neg).

Usage

dataset_imdb(
  dir = NULL,
  split = c("train", "test"),
  delete = FALSE,
  return_path = FALSE,
  clean = FALSE,
  manual_download = FALSE
)

Arguments

dir

Character, path to directory where data will be stored. If NULL, user_cache_dir will be used to determine path.

split

Character. Return training ("train") data or testing ("test") data. Defaults to "train".

delete

Logical, set TRUE to delete dataset.

return_path

Logical, set TRUE to return the path of the dataset.

clean

Logical, set TRUE to remove intermediate files. This can greatly reduce the size. Defaults to FALSE.

manual_download

Logical, set TRUE if you have manually downloaded the file and placed it in the folder designated by running this function with return_path = TRUE.

Details

In the entire collection, no more than 30 reviews are allowed for any given movie because reviews for the same movie tend to have correlated ratings. Further, the train and test sets contain a disjoint set of movies, so no significant performance is obtained by memorizing movie-unique terms and their associated with observed labels. In the labeled train/test sets, a negative review has a score <= 4 out of 10, and a positive review has a score >= 7 out of 10. Thus reviews with more neutral ratings are not included in the train/test sets. In the unsupervised set, reviews of any rating are included and there are an even number of reviews > 5 and <= 5.
