The purpose of sentiment classification is to solve the problem of automatic judgment of sentiment tendency. In the sentiment classification task of text data (such as online reviews), the traditional deep learning model focuses on algorithm optimization, but ignores the characteristics of the imbalanced distribution of the number of samples in each classification, which will cause the classification performance of the model to decrease in practical applications. In this paper, the experiment is divided into two stages. In the first stage, samples of minority class in the sample distribution are used to train a sequence generative adversarial nets, so that the sequence generative adversarial nets can learn the features of the samples of minority class in depth. In the second stage, the trained generator of sequence generative adversarial nets is used to generate false samples of minority class and mix them with the original samples to balance the sample distribution. After that, the mixed samples are input into the sentiment classification deep model to complete the model training. Experimental results show that the model has excellent classification performance in comparing a variety of deep learning models based on classic imbalanced learning methods in the sentiment classification task of hotel reviews.
