"""Trains an LSTM model on the IMDB sentiment classification task. The dataset is actually too small for LSTM to be of any advantage compared to simpler, much faster methods such as TF-IDF + LogReg. # Notes - RNNs are tricky. Choice of batch size is important, choice of loss and optimizer is critical, etc. Some configurations won't converge. - LSTM loss decrease patterns during training can be quite different from what you see with CNNs/MLPs/etc. """ from __future__ import print_function from keras.preprocessing import sequence from keras.models import Sequential from keras.layers import Dense, Embedding from keras.layers import LSTM from keras.datasets import imdb from keras import backend as K max_features = 20000 maxlen = 80 # cut texts after this number of words (among top max_features most common words) batch_size = 32 print("Loading data...")
