Many-to-One RNN (Sentiment Analysis)

Many-to-One Architecture

Many-to-One RNN processes a sequence of inputs (many) and produces a single output (one). Perfect for tasks like sentiment analysis, document classification, and sequence summarization.
Key Characteristics:

Input: Variable-length sequence (words, tokens, time steps)
Processing: RNN builds up context over entire sequence
Output: Single prediction based on full sequence context
Use Cases: Classification, summarization, encoding
📊 Perfect For:
Tasks where the entire sequence context determines a single decision or classification.

Sentiment Analysis Pipeline

1
Tokenization
Split text into individual words or tokens
2
Word Embeddings
Convert words to dense vector representations
3
RNN Processing
Sequential processing with hidden state accumulation
4
Final Hidden State
Extract final hidden state containing full context
5
Classification
Dense layer + softmax for sentiment prediction
