What you'll learn
Online opinions are becoming ubiquitous - more people are expressing their views online than ever before. As a result, extracting sentiment information from these opinions is becoming very important. In this course, Building Sentiment Analysis Systems in Python, you will learn the fundamentals of building a system to do so in Python. First, you will learn the differences between ML- and rule-based approaches, and how to use VADER, Sentiwordnet, and Naive Bayes classifiers. Next, you will build three sentiment analyzers, and use them to classify a corpus of movie reviews made available by Cornell. Finally, you will gain a conceptual understanding of Support Vector Machines, and why Naive Bayes is usually a better choice. When you're finished with this course, you will have a clear understanding of how to extract sentiment from a body of opinions, and of the design choices and trade-offs involved.
