AI-Based Project: Sentiment Analysis

Sentiment Analysis Using Python

Introduction

Sentiment analysis, also known as opinion mining, is a natural language processing (NLP)
technique used to determine the sentiment expressed in a piece of text. It helps in classifying
the text as positive, negative, or neutral based on the emotions conveyed. This technique is
widely used in various applications such as customer feedback analysis, product reviews,
social media monitoring, and brand reputation management.

Objective

The objective of this project is to analyze the sentiment of user-inputted text using a simple
Python program. By leveraging the TextBlob library, we can determine whether a given
statement expresses a positive, negative, or neutral sentiment. This project serves as an
introduction to sentiment analysis and provides a practical demonstration of AI-based text
processing.

Working Principle

Sentiment analysis works by analyzing the words and phrases in a text and assigning a
polarity score to it. The polarity score ranges from -1 to +1, where:

 A positive score (>0) indicates positive sentiment.


 A negative score (<0) indicates negative sentiment.
 A score of 0 indicates neutral sentiment.

The TextBlob library, which is built on top of the Natural Language Toolkit (NLTK),
provides an easy-to-use interface for performing sentiment analysis.

Implementation

Step 1: Install Required Library

To run this project, you need to install the TextBlob library if it is not already installed. You
can do this using the following command:

pip install textblob


The following Python script takes user input and determines the sentiment:

from textblob import TextBlob

# Input from user

text = input("Enter a sentence: ")

# Sentiment analysis

analysis = TextBlob(text)

polarity = analysis.sentiment.polarity

# Classify the sentiment

if polarity > 0:

print("Positive Sentiment")

elif polarity < 0:

print("Negative Sentiment")

else:

print("Neutral Sentiment")

Step 3: Expected Output

The program will prompt the user to enter a sentence. Based on the polarity score calculated,
it will classify the text accordingly.

Example 1:

Enter a sentence: I love programming!

Positive Sentiment

Example 2:

Enter a sentence: The weather is terrible today.

Negative Sentiment

Example 3:
Enter a sentence: It is an ordinary day.
Neutral Sentiment

Applications of Sentiment Analysis

Sentiment analysis is widely used in various industries for different purposes, such as:

 Business Intelligence: Companies analyze customer reviews and feedback to


improve their products and services.
 Social Media Monitoring: Brands track sentiments about their products and services
from social media posts.
 Customer Support: AI-based chatbots use sentiment analysis to identify and
prioritize customer issues.
 Political Analysis: Governments and analysts use sentiment analysis to assess public
opinion on policies and elections.

Advantages and Challenges

Advantages:

1. Improves Decision-Making: Helps businesses make data-driven decisions based on


customer opinions.
2. Automates Text Analysis: Reduces the need for manual review of large amounts of
text data.
3. Enhances Customer Experience: Helps companies understand and improve user
experience.

Challenges:

1. Context Understanding: AI models sometimes fail to detect sarcasm or irony.


2. Language Variability: Different languages, dialects, and slang words can make
sentiment detection difficult.
3. Subjectivity Issues: Different people may interpret sentiments in different ways.

Conclusion

This project provides a fundamental understanding of sentiment analysis using Python and
the TextBlob library. By classifying text as positive, negative, or neutral, sentiment analysis
has proven to be a valuable tool in various fields. This project lays the groundwork for further
exploration into more advanced NLP techniques, such as deep learning-based sentiment
classification.
