Sentiment analysis is one of the essential and challenging tasks in the Artificial Intelligence field due to the complexity of the languages. Models that use rule-based and machine learning-based techniques have become popular. However, existing models have been under-performing in classifying irony, sarcasm, and subjectivity in the text. In this paper, we aim to deploy and evaluate the performances of the State-of-the-Art machine learning sentiment analysis techniques on a public IMDB dataset. The dataset includes many samples of irony and sarcasm. Long-short term memory (LSTM), bag of tricks (BoT), convolutional neural networks (CNN), and transformer-based models are developed and evaluated. In addition, we have examined the effect of hyper-parameters on the accuracy of the models.
