In this liveProject, you’ll step into the role of a Natural Language Processing Specialist working in the Growth Hacking Team of a new video game startup. Your team wants to massively accelerate your company’s early growth by acquiring huge numbers of customers at the lowest possible cost. To help tailor marketing messages, your boss has asked you to map the market and find out how customers evaluate your competitors’ products. Your challenge is to create a sentiment analyzer that will give a deeper understanding of customer feedback and opinions. To do this, you’ll need to download and create a dataset from Amazon reviews, build an algorithm that will determine whether a review is positive or negative, evaluate your analyzer's performance against star ratings, and lay out your findings in a report for your manager.

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.

project authors

Orsolya Putz

Orsolya Putz holds a PhD in Cognitive Linguistics and devotes herself to cognitive sciences. Currently she is an assistant lecturer at Eötvös Loránd University, Budapest and the co-founder of Crow Intelligence, a boutique consultancy specialized in NLP and AI. Her main research areas are cognitive metaphor theory, text analytics, and cognitive background of biases in human and machine models. She also worked as a linguistic expert on various text analytics projects.

Zoltan Varju

Zoltán Varjú has been working as an expert in Natural Language Processing for 15 years. He was the head of several text analytics and enterprise search projects in the financial and health sectors. Having led Data Science and NLP teams at small companies, large corporations, and NGOs, now he is building his own enterprise, called Crow Intelligence, a boutique consultancy specialized in NLP and AI. He is the founder of the Hungarian Natural Language Processing Meetup.

Prerequisites

This liveProject is for intermediate Python programmers who are familiar with data science. You will need to know the basics of statistics and machine learning. Previous encounters with NLP, neural networks, and PyTorch will be useful, but not essential. You’ll use the Google Collaboratory (Colab) environment for this project to access a free cloud-based GPU. To get the most out of the project, you should be familiar with:

TOOLS:

Python standard library
Basics of pandas
Basics of Jupyter Notebook
Basics of Colab
Basics of scikit-learn

TECHNIQUES:

Basics of machine learning
Basics of neural networks

you will learn

In this liveProject, you’ll learn the foundational techniques of an NLP Specialist using the Python data ecosystem. The sentiment analysis skills you’ll learn are all easily transferable to other common NLP projects.

Creating a data corpus from text reviews
Sampling from imbalanced data
Finding sentiment value using NLTK and dictionary-based sentiment analysis tools
Data evaluation with scikit-learn
Analyzing reviews using PyTorch and deep learning
Comparing classifier performance
Transformers-based language models
Visualizing findings and presenting a formal report
