VADER

Compound Score — the quick vibe meter

  • Lexicon + rules: simple, fast, no training needed.
  • Good words ➜ add points; bad words ➜ subtract.
  • Negation flips (“not good”), intensifiers boost (“very good”).
  • Understands emojis & slang (“lol”, “🔥”).
  • Outputs pos/neu/neg and a compound score in [-1, 1].
DistilBERT

Lightweight Transformer — smart & speedy

  • Smaller BERT: distilled to run faster with fewer params.
  • Understands context via self-attention (subword tokens).
  • Great for on-the-go inference (Lambda, CPUs).
  • Fine-tune for domains; zero-shot works surprisingly well.
  • Pairs nicely with VADER for speed + depth.
