Look inside
In this liveProject, you’ll augment text-based training data for a sentiment analysis algorithm with artificially generated positive reviews. You’ll merge the synthetic positive reviews with an unbalanced dataset focused on negative reviews, thereby creating a balanced dataset for your model to train on. You’ll train your model, then evaluate its metrics using sklearn.
This project is designed for learning purposes and is not a complete, production-ready application or solution.

book resources

When you start your liveProject, you get full access to the following books for 90 days.
