💡 Pro tip: This is one of those techniques that will make you look like a data science wizard! Introduction to Sentiment Analysis - Made Simple!

Sentiment analysis is a natural language processing task that involves determining the emotional tone behind a piece of text. It’s widely used in various applications, from social media monitoring to customer feedback analysis. In this slideshow, we’ll explore machine learning and deep learning models for sentiment classification using Python.

Let’s break this down together! Here’s how we can tackle this:

import nltk
from nltk.sentiment import SentimentIntensityAnalyzer

nltk.download('vader_lexicon')
sia = SentimentIntensityAnalyzer()

text = "I love this product! It's amazing and works perfectly."
sentiment = sia.polarity_scores(text)

print(f"Sentiment: {sentiment}")
# Output: Sentiment: {'neg': 0.0, 'neu': 0.363, 'pos': 0.637, 'compound': 0.8516}

🚀

🎉 You’re doing great! This concept might seem tricky at first, but you’ve got this! Text Preprocessing - Made Simple!

Before applying machine learning models, it’s crucial to preprocess the text data. This involves cleaning the text, removing noise, and converting it into a format suitable for analysis. Common preprocessing steps include tokenization, lowercasing, removing punctuation, and handling stop words.

Don’t worry, this is easier than it looks! Here’s how we can tackle this:

import re
import nltk
from nltk.corpus import stopwords
from nltk.tokenize import word_tokenize

nltk.download('punkt')
nltk.download('stopwords')

def preprocess_text(text):
    # Convert to lowercase
    text = text.lower()
    # Remove punctuation
    text = re.sub(r'[^\w\s]', '', text)
    # Tokenize
    tokens = word_tokenize(text)
    # Remove stop words
    stop_words = set(stopwords.words('english'))
    tokens = [word for word in tokens if word not in stop_words]
    return ' '.join(tokens)

sample_text = "This is a sample sentence, showing off the stop words filtration."
processed_text = preprocess_text(sample_text)
print(f"Processed text: {processed_text}")
# Output: Processed text: sample sentence showing stop words filtration

🚀

✨ Cool fact: Many professional data scientists use this exact approach in their daily work! Feature Extraction: Bag of Words - Made Simple!

The Bag of Words (BoW) model is a simple yet effective method for converting text into numerical features. It creates a vocabulary of all unique words in the corpus and represents each document as a vector of word frequencies.

This next part is really neat! Here’s how we can tackle this:

from sklearn.feature_extraction.text import CountVectorizer

corpus = [
    "I love this movie",
    "This movie is awful",
    "The acting is great"
]

vectorizer = CountVectorizer()
X = vectorizer.fit_transform(corpus)

print("Vocabulary:", vectorizer.get_feature_names_out())
print("Document-Term Matrix:\n", X.toarray())

# Output:
# Vocabulary: ['acting' 'awful' 'great' 'is' 'love' 'movie' 'this']
# Document-Term Matrix:
# [[0 0 0 1 1 1 1]
#  [0 1 0 1 0 1 1]
#  [1 0 1 1 0 0 0]]

🚀

🔥 Level up: Once you master this, you’ll be solving problems like a pro! Feature Extraction: TF-IDF - Made Simple!

Term Frequency-Inverse Document Frequency (TF-IDF) is another popular feature extraction method. It assigns weights to words based on their frequency in a document and their rarity across the corpus, giving more importance to discriminative terms.

This next part is really neat! Here’s how we can tackle this:

from sklearn.feature_extraction.text import TfidfVectorizer

corpus = [
    "I love this movie",
    "This movie is awful",
    "The acting is great"
]

tfidf_vectorizer = TfidfVectorizer()
X_tfidf = tfidf_vectorizer.fit_transform(corpus)

print("Vocabulary:", tfidf_vectorizer.get_feature_names_out())
print("TF-IDF Matrix:\n", X_tfidf.toarray())

# Output:
# Vocabulary: ['acting' 'awful' 'great' 'is' 'love' 'movie' 'this']
# TF-IDF Matrix:
# [[0.         0.         0.         0.46979139 0.58028582 0.46979139
#   0.46979139]
#  [0.         0.6876236  0.         0.40824829 0.         0.40824829
#   0.40824829]
#  [0.57735027 0.         0.57735027 0.57735027 0.         0.
