Amazon Product Review Sentiment Analysis with Machine Learningijtsrd
Users of Amazons online shopping service are allowed to leave feedback for the items they buy. Amazon makes no effort to monitor or limit the scope of these reviews. Although the amount of reviews for various items varies, the reviews provide easily accessible and abundant data for a variety of applications. This paper aims to apply and expand existing natural language processing and sentiment analysis research to data obtained from Amazon. The number of stars given to a product by a user is used as training data for supervised machine learning. Since more people are dependent on online products these days, the value of a review is increasing. Before making a purchase, a buyer must read thousands of reviews to fully comprehend a product. In this day and age of machine learning, however, sorting through thousands of comments and learning from them would be much easier if a model was used to polarize and learn from them. We used supervised learning to polarize a massive Amazon dataset and achieve satisfactory accuracy.

USING NLP APPROACH FOR ANALYZING CUSTOMER REVIEWScsandit
The Web considers one of the main sources of customer opinions and reviews which they are represented in two formats; structured data (numeric ratings) and unstructured data (textual comments). Millions of textual comments about goods and services are posted on the web by customers and every day thousands are added, make it a big challenge to read and understand them to make them a useful structured data for customers and decision makers. Sentiment
analysis or Opinion mining is a popular technique for summarizing and analyzing those opinions and reviews. In this paper, we use natural language processing techniques to generate some rules to help us understand customer opinions and reviews (textual comments) written in the Arabic language for the purpose of understanding each one of them and then convert them to a structured data. We use adjectives as a key point to highlight important information in the text then we work around them to tag attributes that describe the subject of the reviews, and we associate them with their values (adjectives).

An Improvised Fuzzy Preference Tree Of CRS For E-Services Using Incremental A...IJTET Journal
Abstract—Web mining is the amalgamation of information accumulated by traditional data mining methodologies and techniques with information collected over the World Wide Web. A Recommendation system is a profound application that comforts the user in a decision-making process, where they lack of personal experience to choose an item from the confound set of alternative products or services. The key challenge in the development of recommender system is to overcome the problems like single level recommendation and static recommendation, which are exists in the real world e-services. The goal is to achieve and enhance predicting algorithm to discover the frequent items, which are feasible to be purchasable. At this point, we examine the prior buying patterns of the customers and use the knowledge thus procured, to achieve an item set, which co-ordinates with the purchasing mentality of a particular set of customers. Potential recommendation is concerned as a link structure among the items within E-commerce website, which supports the new customers to find related products in a hurry. In Existing system, a fuzzy set consists of user preference and item features alone, so the recommendations to the customers are irrelevant and anonymous. In this paper, we suggest a recommendation technique, which practices the wild spreading and data sharing competency of a huge customer linkage and also this method follows a fuzzy tree- structured model, in which fuzzy set techniques are utilized to express user preferences and purchased items are in a clustered form to develop a user convenient recommendations. Here, an incremental association rule mining is employed to find interesting relation between variables in a large database.
SENTIMENT ANALYSIS ON PRODUCT FEATURES BASED ON LEXICON APPROACH USING NATURA...ijnlc
Sentiment analysis has played an important role in identifying what other people think and what their behavior is. Text can be used to analyze the sentiment and classified as positive, negative or neutral. Applying the sentiment analysis on the product reviews on e-market helps not only the customer but also the industry people for taking decision. The method which provides sentiment analysis about the individual product’s features is discussed here. This paper presents the use of Natural Language Processing and SentiWordNet in this interesting application in Python: 1. Sentiment Analysis on Product review [Domain: Electronic]2. sentiment analysis regarding the product’s feature present in the product review [Sub Domain: Mobile Phones]. It usesa lexicon based approach in which text is tokenized for calculating the sentiment analysis of the product reviews on a e-market. The first part of paper includessentiment analyzer whichclassifiesthe sentiment present in product reviews into positive, negative or neutral depending on the polarity. The second part of the paper is an extension to the first part in which the customer review’s containing product’s features will be segregated and then these separated reviews are classified into positive, negative and neutral using sentiment analysis. Here, mobile phones are used as the product with features as screen, processors, etc. This gives a business solution for users and industries for effective product decisions.

Analyzing and Comparing opinions on the Web mining Consumer Reviewsijsrd.com
Product reviews posted at online shopping sites plays a major role in improving performance of various enterprises. To assess the performance, the posted reviews must be of good quality. The good quality is judged by using certain criteria (rules) to be satisfied. The criteria (rules) should be applied on the online reviews or the documents collected based upon reviews. Thus, it is considered to be very difficult for decision-maker with an efficient post processing step in order to reduce the number of rules. This project proposes a new classification based interactive approach to prune and filter discovered rules to eliminate low-quality reviews. The proposed approach to enhance opinion summarization is done in a two-stage framework which is (1) discriminates low quality reviews from high-quality ones and (2) enhances the task of opinion summarization by detecting and filtering low quality reviews. For the sentiment factor, we propose Sentiment PLSA (S-PLSA), in which a review is considered as a document generated by a number of hidden sentiment factors, in order to capture the complex nature of sentiments. Training an S-PLSA model enables us to obtain a succinct summary of the sentiment information embedded in the reviews.

Co-Extracting Opinions from Online ReviewsEditor IJCATR
Exclusion of opinion targets and words from online reviews is an important and challenging task in opinion mining. The
opinion mining is the use of natural language processing, text analysis and computational process to identify and recover the subjective
information in source materials. This paper propose a Supervised word alignment model, which identifying the opinion relation. Rather
than this paper focused on topical relation, in which to extract the relevant information or features only from a particular online reviews.
It is based on feature extraction algorithm to identify the potential features. Finally the items are ranked based on the frequency of
positive and negative reviews. Compared to previous methods, our model captures opinion relation and feature extraction more precisely.
One of the most advantages that our model obtain better precision because of supervised alignment model. In addition, an opinion

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

Abstract
This project entails the development of a sentiment analysis model for Amazon product
reviews using best learning techniques. The primary objective is to classify user reviews
as either positive or negative, providing valuable insights into customer sentiment.
The project begins with data pre-processing, which involves importing necessary libraries,
extracting and splitting the Amazon review dataset into training and testing sets. Text
cleaning is performed to remove non-alphanumeric characters, reduce whitespace, and
convert text to lowercase. The data is then visualized using a word cloud, illustrating the
most common words in the cleaned training text.
Tokenization and sequence padding are crucial steps, as they enable the conversion of
textual data into numeric sequences suitable for deep learning models. This process helps
in preparing the data for the subsequent sentiment analysis.
The heart of the project lies in developing a sentiment analysis model. Multiple machine
learning models are explored and compared for their performance. These models include
decision trees, support vector machines, logistic regression, and more. The project aims
to identify the best-performing model based on evaluation metrics.
Model training is executed for two epochs, and the best model is saved using a checkpoint
mechanism. The trained model is then evaluated on the testing dataset, yielding important
performance metrics such as loss and accuracy.
To assess the model's effectiveness, predictions are made on the test data, and a
confusion matrix is generated, revealing the model's ability to correctly classify positive
and negative sentiments. Additionally, a comprehensive classification report is provided,
offering insights into precision, recall, F1-score, and support for both positive and negative
sentiment classifications, along with overall accuracy.
In summary, this project showcases the development and evaluation of a sentiment
analysis model for Amazon product reviews using various machine learning techniques.
The identification of the best model, along with a comprehensive performance assessment,
makes it a valuable tool for understanding customer sentiment and feedback, aiding
businesses in making data-driven decisions to enhance their products and services.

Introduction
In the contemporary world, where commercial activities are predominantly conducted on online
platforms, the way people trade products has undergone a significant transformation. E-
commerce websites have become the epicenters of this digital marketplace, and as a result, the
act of reviewing products before making a purchase has become a commonplace practice. In
today's landscape, consumers heavily rely on these product reviews to make informed
decisions, considering them as a pivotal part of their buying process. Consequently, the
analysis of data derived from these customer reviews has emerged as an essential and
dynamic field.
The growth of e-commerce has created a global marketplace where consumers from around
the world can access an astonishing variety of products and services with just a few clicks. This
convenience, while empowering, also poses new challenges. The online marketplace is
teeming with options, and consumers are often overwhelmed by the sheer volume of choices
available to them. In such a scenario, product reviews have become more than just helpful;
they are integral in guiding consumers through this digital maze.
In this era marked by the proliferation of machine learning-based algorithms, manually
scrutinizing thousands of reviews to understand a product's appeal can be an exceedingly time-
consuming endeavor. The volume of user-generated content is staggering, and traditional
methods for extracting insights from this wealth of data are no longer adequate. In response to
this challenge, the objective of this project is to categorize the vast array of customer feedback
into positive and negative sentiments. By doing so, it seeks to create a supervised learning
model capable of polarizing a substantial volume of reviews, making them more
comprehensible to a global audience.
The importance of understanding customer sentiment extends beyond individual purchase
decisions.When an online item garners a multitude of positive reviews, it serves as a
resounding endorsement of the item's authenticity and quality. Conversely, products, such as
books or any other commodities, that lack reviews often leave potential buyers in a state of
uncertainty. Put simply, a greater number of reviews exude greater credibility. People attach
immense value to the consensus and experiences of others, and reviews serve as a conduit to
understanding the collective sentiment on a product.
Opinions, derived from the experiences of users, have a direct impact on future consumer
purchasing decisions. Similarly, negative reviews can significantly deter potential buyers,
leading to a decline in sales. Therefore, the goal for those involved in this field is to
comprehend and categorize customer feedback on a large scale.
This project addresses the critical need for automating sentiment analysis of customer reviews
in the e-commerce sector, recognizing the immense influence these reviews have on
purchasing decisions and product credibility. It aims to empower businesses with the tools to
harness this wealth of customer feedback to improve their products and services and enhance
the overall shopping experience for consumers.
In the following sections, we will delve into the specific objectives, methodologies, and tools
employed in achieving this goal, emphasizing the profound impact of sentiment analysis in the
modern landscape of e-commerce.

Literature Review:
The realm of product reviews, sentiment analysis, and opinion mining has garnered
considerable attention in recent research papers. This review delves into some of the notable
works in this domain, highlighting their methodologies and findings.
In the work by Elli, Maria, and Yi-Fan [3], sentiment extraction from reviews was a central focus.
They analyzed the results to construct a business model, claiming that the tools employed
exhibited robustness and yielded high accuracy. Additionally, their research encompassed
diverse aspects such as emotion detection from reviews, gender prediction based on names,
and the identification of fake reviews. Python are the preferred programming languages, and
Multinomial Naïve Bayesian (MNB) and Support Vector Machine (SVM) emerged as primary
classifiers.
In another paper [4], existing supervised learning algorithms were applied to predict review
ratings on a numerical scale using text data exclusively. The study incorporated hold-out cross-
validation, with 70% of the data allocated for training and 30% for testing. Various classifiers
were employed to ascertain precision and recall values.
Expanding the scope to Amazon review datasets, a study in [5] applied and extended natural
language processing and sentiment analysis. The authors used Naïve Bayesian and decision
list classifiers to tag reviews as positive or negative, with a focus on the books and Kindle
sections of Amazon.
A unique approach was undertaken in [6], where the objective was to visualize review
sentiments through charts. Data was scraped from Amazon URLs, preprocessed, and then
analyzed using NB, SVM, and maximum entropy. This paper emphasized summarizing product
reviews, with results presented in statistical charts.
In yet another research endeavor [7], a model was constructed to predict product ratings based
on rating text, utilizing a bag-of-words approach. Unigrams and bigrams were tested, with
unigrams outperforming bigrams. The study examined Amazon video game user reviews and
observed that time-based models did not perform well due to small variance in average ratings
over time.
Feature extraction and selection techniques for sentiment analysis were explored in [8], wi th a
focus on Amazon datasets. The study included preprocessing steps such as stop word removal
and the removal of special characters. The Naive Bayes classifier was employed, with an
emphasis on phrase-level features, ultimately concluding that Naive Bayes performed better at
the phrase level than with single words or multiword features.
Simpler algorithms took center stage in [9], with an emphasis on comprehensibility. Support
Vector Machine (SVM), logistic regression, and decision tree methods were utilized, yielding
high accuracy for SVM but limitations in handling extensive datasets.
In [10], the addition of TF-IDF as an experiment to predict ratings using the bag-of-words
approach was noteworthy. While the study incorporated root mean square error and a linear
regression model, it used only a limited number of classifiers.

alphanumeric, meaning they are not letters (A-Z or a-z) or spaces. This process is executed
with precision, eliminating any special characters, symbols, or punctuation that may be present
in the text. The removal of these non-alphanumeric characters is crucial as it eradicates
potential noise and irrelevant information that might interfere with subsequent NLP tasks. It
streamlines the text, leaving only the essential content for analysis.
b. Converting Multiple Whitespace Characters to a Single Space:
Textual data often contains inconsistencies in the spacing between words. In this step, the code
diligently addresses this issue by standardizing the spacing. It replaces multiple whitespace
characters (including tabs and line breaks) with a single space. This standardization ensures
uniformity in the text, making it more amenable to subsequent text analysis tasks. By reducing
multiple spaces to a single space, the text becomes easier to tokenize, process, and analyze.
c. Converting Text to Lowercase:
Another crucial component of text cleaning is the conversion of all text to lowercase. This
transformation is performed to ensure that words are treated uniformly, regardless of their
original capitalization. By converting all characters to lowercase, the code minimizes the
potential discrepancies that could arise from variations in letter case. This standardization is
vital for text classification and sentiment analysis, where capitalization should not affect the
interpretation of the text.
The overarching purpose of text cleaning is to bring a sense of uniformity and consistency to
the text data. By eliminating non-alphanumeric characters, standardizing spacing, and
converting text to lowercase, the code is able to produce clean, structured, and reliable textual
data that is well-suited for analysis. This step plays a pivotal role in enhancing the quality and
accuracy of subsequent NLP tasks, such as sentiment analysis and machine learning model
training. It ensures that the text data is devoid of irrelevant noise and is ready for effective
processing, making it a foundational step in the successful execution of the project.

This section provides an in-depth exploration of the EDA conducted in the project, shedding
light on the various procedures and visualizations employed.
15. 15 | P a g e
a. Dataset Lengths Analysis:
One of the initial steps in EDA involves assessing the lengths of both the training and test
datasets. This analysis serves multiple purposes. First and foremost, it verifies the integrit y of
the data extraction process, confirming that all samples have been successfully captured. By
comparing the lengths of the datasets with the expected number of samples, any potential
issues or data loss can be promptly identified and addressed. Additionally, this step confirms
that the labels align appropriately with the corresponding text data, ensuring the integrity of the
dataset.
b. Visualization of Target Labels Distribution:
A key component of EDA is the visualization of the distribution of target labels, which in this
context represent sentiments (e.g., positive and negative). This visualization is paramount for
several reasons. It aids in understanding the balance of the dataset, shedding light on whether
the dataset is evenly distributed among different sentiment classes or if there is an imbalance.
Additionally, it provides a clear overview of the distribution of positive and negative sentiments,
which are encoded as '1' for positive and '0' for negative in this analysis.
c. Utilization of Count Plots:
To effectively convey the distribution of sentiment classes, the project code employs count
plots, a valuable visualization tool. Count plots display the number of samples within each
sentiment class, allowing for a quick assessment of the balance or skew in the dataset. By
visualizing the number of positive and negative sentiments, the project team gains insights into
the relative prevalence of each sentiment class. This information is essential for designing and
implementing subsequent NLP tasks and machine learning models, particularly in scenarios
where imbalanced datasets can impact model performance.
6. Word Cloud:
Word clouds represent a visually engaging and effective means of gaining insights into the
textual content of a dataset. In this project, the generation of word clouds for the training data
holds a crucial role in unveiling the most frequently occurring words within a subset of the
dataset, specifically focusing on the first 20,000 samples. This section provides an in-depth
exploration of the purpose, significance, and methodology employed in creating these word
clouds.

Word clouds serve a dual purpose in the project. Firstly, they offer an intuitive and visual
representation of the most prevalent terms or words within the dataset. By emphasizing the
words that appear most frequently, word clouds provide a quick overview of the dataset's key
themes, sentiments, and frequently used expressions. Secondly, word clouds facilitate the
identification of significant keywords and phrases, which can be instrumental in understanding
the dataset and potentially guiding subsequent analysis and modeling tasks. The visualization
nature of word clouds makes them an accessible tool for both technical and non-technical
stakeholders in the project.
b. Focusing on the Training Data:
The word cloud generation in this project narrows its focus to the training data, which is typically
the portion of the dataset used to train machine learning models. Analyzing the training data is
especially valuable as it provides insights into the language, sentiment, and common
expressions encountered in the reviews. This information is fundamental for training models
that accurately capture and predict sentiment in Amazon product reviews.
c. Subset Selection:
The code selects the first 20,000 samples from the training data for word cloud generation. This
subsetting is often performed for practical reasons, as visualizing the entire dataset may be
overwhelming due to the sheer volume of words. The subset provides a representative sample
for analysis and visualization, offering insights into the dataset's characteristics without
overloading the visualization.

d. Methodology and Visualization:
Word clouds are generated using a word cloud library, which processes the text data and
identifies the most frequent words. The size of each word in the cloud is proportional to its
frequency in the text. Frequently occurring words are displayed prominently, while less common
words are presented in a smaller font. This visual hierarchy enables quick identification of the
most prevalent terms.
7. Tokenization & Padding:
Tokenization and padding represent pivotal stages in the data preparation pipeline of this
project, instrumental in converting raw text data into a numerical format that is amenable for
machine learning and deep learning models. This section delves into the detailed process of
tokenization and padding, outlining the essential steps carried out by the project's code.
a. Tokenization Overview:
Tokenization is the process of breaking down text data into smaller units, typically words or
subwords, known as tokens. It is a foundational step in NLP, allowing text data to be
represented as numerical sequences. In this project, tokenization is performed using the Keras
Tokenizer class, a powerful tool for text preprocessing.
b. Defining Maximum Vocabulary Size (voc_size):
A critical decision in tokenization is the definition of the maximum vocabulary size, denoted as
'voc_size.' This parameter determines the maximum number of unique words to be considered
when tokenizing the text. Words exceeding this limit are disregarded. This step is important for
managing computational resources and ensuring that only the most relevant words are included
in the model's vocabulary.
c. Defining Maximum Sequence Length (max_length):
The 'max_length' parameter plays a central role in setting the maximum length of sequences.
Sequences that are shorter than this length are padded with zeros, while sequences longer
than this length are truncated. This step is crucial for ensuring uniform sequence lengths, which
is a requirement for feeding data into deep learning models.
d. Fitting the Tokenizer on Training Data:
To perform tokenization, the Tokenizer is fitted to the training data. This fitting process involves
building a word index and constructing a vocabulary based on the unique words encountered
in the training dataset. The fitted Tokenizer forms the basis for converting text into numerical
sequences in both the training and test datasets.
e. Saving the Tokenizer:
The fitted Tokenizer is not only a vital component for tokenization but also a resource that needs
to be preserved for consistency and reusability. It is saved as a pickle file, which can be loaded
in subsequent project phases or even in different projects for consistent text processing.
f. Tokenizing the Training and Test Data:
Once the Tokenizer is fitted, it is employed to tokenize the text data in both the training and test
datasets. This process replaces words with their corresponding numerical indices, generating
sequences of integers that represent the text.
g. Applying Padding:
Padding is the final step in the tokenization process and is of paramount importance. It ensures
that all sequences have the same length (as defined by 'max_length'). Sequences that are
shorter than 'max_length' are padded with zeros at the beginning, and sequences longer than
'max_length' are truncated. This step is critical for maintaining consistent input dimensions for
deep learning models.
8. Label Encoding:
Label encoding is a crucial step in sentiment analysis, particularly when transforming the task
into a binary classification problem. In this project, the code undertakes label encoding to
17. 17 | P a g e
represent sentiment labels in a simplified binary format, facilitating the sentiment analysis task.
This section elaborates on the label encoding process, the specific mapping employed, and
how the encoded labels are stored.
a. Purpose of Label Encoding:
Label encoding in sentiment analysis is pivotal for transforming the problem into a binary
classification task, where the goal is to discern between positive and negative sentiments. This
binary representation simplifies the sentiment analysis process, making it more manageable
and interpretable for machine learning models. The sentiment labels, originally in textual form
(e.g., 'positive' and 'negative'), are transformed into numerical values to align with the
requirements of classification algorithms.
b. Mapping of Sentiment Labels:
In the provided code, the mapping of sentiment labels is as follows:
'2' is mapped to '1', representing positive sentiment.
'1' is mapped to '0', representing negative sentiment.
This binary mapping converts the sentiment labels into numerical values, where '1' corresponds
to positive sentiment and '0' corresponds to negative sentiment. This binary representation
simplifies the classification task by reducing the number of target classes from multiple
sentiments to just two.
c. Storage of Encoded Labels:
The code ensures the proper management and storage of the encoded sentiment labels.
Specifically, the training labels, after undergoing the label encoding process, are stored in the
variable 'train_lab,' while the test labels are stored in the variable 'test_lab.' This organization
allows for easy access to the encoded labels when training and evaluating machine learning
models.
In conclusion, data processing is a critical step in any machine learning or natural language
processing project. It involves importing libraries, reading and extracting data, cleaning text,
conducting exploratory data analysis, creating visualizations, tokenizing and padding text data,
and encoding labels for sentiment analysis. The preprocessed data can now be used to train
machine learning models, including deep learning models, to perform sentiment analysis on
Amazon product reviews. Data processing ensures that the data is in a suitable format for model
training and evaluation.
Website:
The provided Python script, `app.py`, is designed to create a web application using Streamlit
for performing customer sentiment analysis on textual reviews. The app offers a straightforward
and user-friendly interface for analyzing the sentiment of reviews, as well as includes additional
features for enhanced interactivity. The script begins by importing essential libraries, such as
Streamlit for building the web app, TensorFlow for loading a sentiment analysis model, regular
expressions for text cleaning, and other utilities for processing and visualizing data.
The web application's user interface is configured using Streamlit. It sets the page title, favicon,
and introduces the app with a title and description. Users are encouraged to input review text
for sentiment analysis, and a button is provided to initiate the analysis.
The sentiment analysis model is loaded from a previously saved file, enabling real-time
sentiment predictions. The Tokenizer, which is essential for converting text into sequences, is
also loaded from a saved file.
To ensure that the text data is clean and consistent, a `clean_text` function is defined. This
function utilizes regular expressions to remove non-alphanumeric characters, normalize
whitespace, and convert text to lowercase.
The sentiment analysis process is facilitated by a dedicated function, `analyze_sentiment`,
which cleans the input text, tokenizes it, and pads it to a fixed length before feeding it to the
18. 18 | P a g e
loaded model. The result is a sentiment prediction (either "Positive" or "Negative") based on
the model's output.
The app incorporates a sidebar that provides additional information about the app and its
purpose, enhancing user engagement. Users can enter review text in the provided text area,
and upon clicking the "Analyze Sentiment" button, the app processes and analyzes the
sentiment of the input text. Users are alerted with a success message displaying the predicted
sentiment or a warning if they forget to input text.
To enhance the aesthetics and user experience, the script also includes style modifications for
the button's appearance and changes the text area's background color.
Moreover, the script suggests the possibility of integrating a word cloud visualization component
to present the most common words in the reviews. This section is left for future development or
customization according to specific needs.
The "Additional Features" section provides examples of interactive widgets and features that
can be added to the app. It includes data analysis in the form of a bar chart, the creation of
charts using libraries like Matplotlib and Seaborn, and the option for users to upload a file.
These features can be expanded upon to meet specific project requirements.
In summary, the `app.py` script creates a user-friendly sentiment analysis web application with
Streamlit. It leverages machine learning to predict sentiments, offers opportunities for
enhancing user experience and interaction, and provides flexibility for extending its
functionalities, making it a versatile tool for customer sentiment analysis.
Feature Engineering
Feature engineering in a sentiment analysis project involves creating relevant features from text
data to enhance the performance of machine learning models. Here, we'll detail the feature
engineering steps for the given code:
Word Embeddings:
While the code does not explicitly use pre-trained word embeddings, it's a common feature
engineering technique. Word embeddings can capture semantic relationships between words, which
is beneficial for sentiment analysis. You can use models like Word2Vec, GloVe, or fastText to obtain
word embeddings.
Text Cleaning:
The clean_text function removes non-alphanumeric characters, extra whitespace, and converts the
text to lowercase. This is important for consistent and standardized text data.
Tokenization & Padding:
The code uses the Tokenizer and pad_sequences functions from Keras to tokenize the text data and
pad sequences to a fixed length. This ensures that all input sequences have the same length, which is
necessary for training deep learning models.
Feature Scaling:
The code doesn't explicitly perform feature scaling in this section, but it's a crucial step when dealing
with features like word embeddings or other numeric features. Feature scaling ensures that all
features have similar scales.
19. 19 | P a g e
Sentiment Scores:
The code imports the VADER sentiment analyzer from NLTK. While VADER isn't explicitly used for
feature engineering in this section, it could be used to obtain sentiment scores for the text data.
These scores can be considered as features.
WordCloud:
The code generates a word cloud from the text data. While word clouds are typically used for data
visualization, you can extract features from them. For example, you can count the frequency of the
most prominent words in the word cloud and use these counts as features.
Target Label Encoding:
The target labels ("1" and "2") are encoded as binary labels (0 and 1) using NumPy arrays. While not
a direct feature engineering step, this preprocessing is essential for building classification models.
Feature Extraction from Text Data:
The main feature extraction in this code is done by converting text data into sequences of integers
using tokenization and padding. These sequences are used as input features for deep learning
models.
o Project Work and Methodology
This can be detailed in a number of chapters, The organisation of these chapters can
be temporal (i.e., following a cyclical evolution of the project), task-based (i.e., where
each chapter describes a succinct body of work or task set within the project plan),
process-based (i.e., where the elements of design, build and test are discussed
separately) or a combination of these.
The complete set of chapters must describe what has been attempted throughout the
period of project work, successes and failures, alternative approaches and the
methods applied. Besides covering the work that has been attempted, these chapters
should also discuss other options that were considered but not necessarily
addressed as part of the project work, along with reasons for the choices and
decisions made supported by research and experimental results.
