I wanted the ability to audit the process and the results, for debugging and for occasional sanity checks of the model outputs. So the results are logged to a Google Sheet, where you can see the comment IDs that mention specific models and the sentiment that the model determined for that comment and model. You can open a comment by appending the comment ID to https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=. The chart below is embedded from Google Sheets. If it doesn't load for you, you should be able to see the same chart by opening the Sheet directly.
