Introduction
Sentiment analysis, also known as opinion mining, is a technique used to determine the sentiment expressed in a piece of text. This project will guide you through the process of building a sentiment analysis model to classify social media posts as positive, negative, or neutral.
Objectives
- Understand the basics of sentiment analysis.
- Learn how to preprocess text data.
- Build and evaluate a sentiment analysis model using machine learning algorithms.
- Implement the model and test it on real-world social media data.
Step 1: Understanding Sentiment Analysis
What is Sentiment Analysis?
Sentiment analysis is the process of identifying and categorizing opinions expressed in a text to determine whether the writer's attitude towards a particular topic, product, etc., is positive, negative, or neutral.
Applications
- Customer Feedback: Analyzing customer reviews to understand their satisfaction levels.
- Market Research: Gauging public opinion about products or services.
- Social Media Monitoring: Tracking sentiment trends on social media platforms.
Step 2: Data Collection
Sources of Data
- Twitter API: Collect tweets using Twitter's API.
- Kaggle Datasets: Use pre-existing datasets available on Kaggle.
- Web Scraping: Scrape data from social media websites.
Example: Collecting Data from Twitter
import tweepy
# Twitter API credentials
consumer_key = 'your_consumer_key'
consumer_secret = 'your_consumer_secret'
access_token = 'your_access_token'
access_token_secret = 'your_access_token_secret'
# Authenticate with the Twitter API
auth = tweepy.OAuthHandler(consumer_key, consumer_secret)
auth.set_access_token(access_token, access_token_secret)
api = tweepy.API(auth)
# Collect tweets
tweets = api.search(q='Machine Learning', lang='en', count=100)
for tweet in tweets:
print(tweet.text)Step 3: Data Preprocessing
Text Cleaning
- Remove Punctuation: Strip punctuation marks.
- Lowercase Conversion: Convert all text to lowercase.
- Stop Words Removal: Remove common words that do not contribute to sentiment (e.g., "and", "the").
- Tokenization: Split text into individual words or tokens.
- Lemmatization/Stemming: Reduce words to their base or root form.
Example: Text Cleaning
import re
import nltk
from nltk.corpus import stopwords
from nltk.stem import WordNetLemmatizer
nltk.download('stopwords')
nltk.download('wordnet')
def clean_text(text):
# Remove punctuation
text = re.sub(r'[^\w\s]', '', text)
# Convert to lowercase
text = text.lower()
# Remove stop words
stop_words = set(stopwords.words('english'))
words = text.split()
words = [word for word in words if word not in stop_words]
# Lemmatize words
lemmatizer = WordNetLemmatizer()
words = [lemmatizer.lemmatize(word) for word in words]
return ' '.join(words)
# Example usage
sample_text = "I love Machine Learning! It's amazing."
cleaned_text = clean_text(sample_text)
print(cleaned_text)Step 4: Feature Extraction
Bag of Words (BoW)
Convert text data into numerical features using the Bag of Words model.
Example: Bag of Words
from sklearn.feature_extraction.text import CountVectorizer # Sample data texts = ["I love Machine Learning", "Machine Learning is great", "I hate spam emails"] # Create the Bag of Words model vectorizer = CountVectorizer() X = vectorizer.fit_transform(texts) # Display the feature names and the transformed data print(vectorizer.get_feature_names_out()) print(X.toarray())
TF-IDF (Term Frequency-Inverse Document Frequency)
Another method to convert text data into numerical features by considering the importance of words in the document.
Example: TF-IDF
from sklearn.feature_extraction.text import TfidfVectorizer # Create the TF-IDF model tfidf_vectorizer = TfidfVectorizer() X_tfidf = tfidf_vectorizer.fit_transform(texts) # Display the feature names and the transformed data print(tfidf_vectorizer.get_feature_names_out()) print(X_tfidf.toarray())
Step 5: Building the Model
Choosing an Algorithm
- Logistic Regression
- Naive Bayes
- Support Vector Machines (SVM)
Example: Logistic Regression
from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split
from sklearn.linear_model import LogisticRegression
from sklearn.metrics import accuracy_score, classification_report
# Sample data and labels
texts = ["I love Machine Learning", "Machine Learning is great", "I hate spam emails"]
labels = [1, 1, 0] # 1: Positive, 0: Negative
# Convert text data to numerical features
vectorizer = TfidfVectorizer()
X = vectorizer.fit_transform(texts)
# Split data into training and testing sets
X_train, X_test, y_train, y_test = train_test_split(X, labels, test_size=0.2, random_state=42)
# Train the model
model = LogisticRegression()
model.fit(X_train, y_train)
# Predict and evaluate
y_pred = model.predict(X_test)
print("Accuracy:", accuracy_score(y_test, y_pred))
print("Classification Report:\n", classification_report(y_test, y_pred))Step 6: Model Evaluation
Evaluation Metrics
- Accuracy: The ratio of correctly predicted instances to the total instances.
- Precision: The ratio of correctly predicted positive observations to the total predicted positives.
- Recall: The ratio of correctly predicted positive observations to the all observations in actual class.
- F1 Score: The weighted average of Precision and Recall.
Example: Evaluation Metrics
from sklearn.metrics import confusion_matrix
# Confusion Matrix
conf_matrix = confusion_matrix(y_test, y_pred)
print("Confusion Matrix:\n", conf_matrix)Step 7: Testing on Real-World Data
Example: Testing on New Data
# New data
new_texts = ["I am very happy with the service", "This is the worst experience ever"]
# Preprocess and transform new data
new_texts_cleaned = [clean_text(text) for text in new_texts]
new_X = vectorizer.transform(new_texts_cleaned)
# Predict sentiment
new_predictions = model.predict(new_X)
print("Predictions:", new_predictions)Conclusion
