Sentiment Analysis Model

NLP-based sentiment analysis for customer reviews

Project Overview

In this project, I built a Natural Language Processing (NLP) model that analyzes the sentiment of customer reviews and social media mentions. The model classifies text as positive, neutral, or negative, helping businesses understand customer sentiment at scale without manual analysis.

Technologies Used

  • Python (NLTK, spaCy, scikit-learn)
  • TensorFlow/Keras for deep learning
  • BERT (Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers)
  • Text preprocessing techniques
  • Transfer learning

Project Goals

The main objectives of this sentiment analysis project were:

  • Build a model that accurately classifies sentiment in various types of text
  • Achieve high accuracy while minimizing false positives
  • Create a deployable solution that can process text in real-time
  • Provide sentiment insights that drive business decisions

Model Performance

The sentiment analysis model was trained on a dataset of 100,000 labeled reviews from various sources including e-commerce platforms, social media, and customer feedback forms. The dataset was balanced to include equal proportions of positive, neutral, and negative sentiments.

Performance by Sentiment Class

Confusion Matrix

Predicted Positive Predicted Neutral Predicted Negative
Actual Positive 2,450 180 70
Actual Neutral 210 2,320 170
Actual Negative 90 230 2,380

Business Impact

The sentiment analysis model has had significant impact on the client's business operations:

  • Reduced time spent on manual review analysis by 85%
  • Identified emerging customer concerns 3x faster than previous methods
  • Enabled real-time tracking of sentiment around product launches
  • Improved customer satisfaction scores by 18% through faster issue resolution
  • Created a sentiment-based early warning system for potential PR issues

By automating sentiment analysis, the business can now process thousands of customer interactions daily, gaining insights that were previously impossible to obtain at scale.

Future Improvements

Future iterations of the model will focus on:

  • Multi-language support for global market analysis
  • Aspect-based sentiment analysis to identify specific product features mentioned
  • Emotion detection beyond basic sentiment (e.g., excitement, frustration, confusion)
  • Integration with business intelligence dashboards for executive-level reporting
