Absolutely! Here's a breakdown of the Coursera Project Network project focusing on sentiment analysis, similar to the previous breakdown but tailored to this specific task:
Project Scenario:
- The goal is to understand user sentiment towards a brand or product based on social media posts.
- You'll use Python to collect social media data (e.g., tweets), analyze the text content, and classify sentiment (positive, negative, neutral).
- This analysis will help the agency tailor their marketing strategies to better resonate with the target audience.
Project Objectives:
- Gain insights into user sentiment towards a brand or product.
- Inform marketing strategies based on user sentiment analysis.
- Improve brand perception and increase customer engagement.
** Challenge:**
- Collect social media data relevant to a chosen brand or product.
- Preprocess the text data (cleaning, normalization).
- Build a sentiment analysis model using machine learning techniques.
- Evaluate the model's performance and refine it if necessary.
- Analyze the results and draw meaningful conclusions about user sentiment.
Project Deliverables:
- A sentiment analysis model capable of classifying user opinions (positive, negative, neutral)
- A report summarizing the findings and insights about user sentiment.
- Recommendations for the marketing agency based on the sentiment analysis.
Key Skills Developed:
- Text Preprocessing Techniques (lowercasing, tokenization, stop word removal)
- Machine Learning Algorithms for Classification (e.g., Naive Bayes, Logistic Regression)
- Data Visualization Techniques for Presenting Findings
Project Breakdown:
-
Data Acquisition:
- Choose a social media platform (e.g., Twitter) and relevant API for data collection.
- Focus on data related to the brand or product of interest.
- Consider using libraries like Tweepy (for Twitter) to collect data.
-
Data Preprocessing:
- Clean the text data by removing irrelevant information (e.g., URLs, punctuation).
- Normalize the text by converting to lowercase, handling emojis, and stemming/lemmatization.
- Tokenize the text into individual words for further analysis.
-
Sentiment Analysis Model Building:
- Choose a suitable machine learning algorithm for sentiment classification.
- Train the model on a labeled dataset where sentiment is already identified (positive, negative, neutral).
- Evaluate the model's performance using metrics like accuracy, precision, and recall.
- Fine-tune the model if necessary to improve classification accuracy.
-
Analysis and Recommendations:
- Analyze the sentiment distribution (positive vs. negative vs. neutral) towards the brand or product.
- Identify common themes or topics associated with positive and negative sentiment.
- Generate insights about user perception and areas for improvement.
- Recommend marketing strategies based on the sentiment analysis findings.
Additional Considerations:
- Explore techniques like handling sarcasm or negation to enhance model accuracy.
- Consider visualizing the sentiment distribution using charts or word clouds.
- Address limitations of the project, such as data bias or chosen algorithms.
