1. Introduction
Overview of Sentiment Analysis
- Sentiment Analysis is a process in Natural Language Processing (NLP) that involves determining the emotional tone behind a body of text. It's widely used in understanding consumer sentiments, social media analysis, and market research.
2. Setting Up the Environment
Required Libraries
import nltk
nltk.download('vader_lexicon')
from nltk.sentiment import SentimentIntensityAnalyzer
Sample Data Preparation
- Preparing a set of sample sentences to demonstrate sentiment analysis.
sample_sentences = [
"I love this product, it's absolutely fantastic!",
"This is the worst experience I have ever had.",
"It was an average movie, nothing special about it."
]
3. Implementing Sentiment Analysis
Understanding Sentiment Analysis Models
- Sentiment Analysis can be performed using various techniques, from rule-based methods to complex machine learning models.
Utilizing Pre-trained Models
- Using NLTK's pre-trained VADER (Valence Aware Dictionary and sEntiment Reasoner) model for sentiment analysis.
sia = SentimentIntensityAnalyzer()
Analyzing Sentiment of Text
- Applying the sentiment analysis model to the sample sentences and interpreting the results.
