PROJECT
Exploring Public Sentiment on Twitter with NLP
In this project, we will learn how to apply natural language processing (NLP) using Python libraries VADER and Gensim, to understand people’s views as expressed in Twitter tweets.
You will learn to:
Handle unstructured data using Python.
Conduct sentiment analysis with natural language processing (NLP).
Identify and visualize sentiment trends over time.
Apply topic modeling with Gensim.

Project Description
Sentiment analysis is essential to learn how businesses and researchers grasp public opinion and allows real-time tracking of general sentiment toward products, services, events, or trending topics. Especially in platforms like X (formerly Twitter), with its wealth of user opinions, sentiment analysis is essential in understanding the social media landscape.
In this project, we will learn how to analyze sentiments on Twitter by focusing on a dataset containing more than 100,000 opinions about COVID-19 from users worldwide.
The challenge lies in managing and interpreting a diverse collection of text data. With Python, and libraries like pandas and NLTK, we will learn to process the raw, unstructured Twitter data and turn it into an organized format suitable for analysis. Next, we will familiarize ourselves with the VADER sentiment analysis designed for the intricacies of social media language.
By the end of this project, we will be able to analyze global sentiments about COVID-19 and skillfully visualize COVID-19 data. Whether new to NLP or looking to refine our data handling skills, this project offers a solid foundation and prepares us for more advanced NLP challenges.
