1.4: Basic Sentiment Analysis

At this point in your data analysis journey, you have already gone through the crucial steps of collecting and cleaning your data, as well as creating insightful visualizations to help you better understand patterns and trends.

However, there is still one more important step left to take before you can draw meaningful conclusions from your data: sentiment analysis. This final step is particularly important as it allows you to uncover the emotional tone hidden within the reviews and feedback you have collected. By applying sentiment analysis techniques, you can effectively classify reviews as positive, neutral, or negative based solely on their textual content.

This will not only help you gain a deeper understanding of your data but also enable you to make more informed decisions and take relevant actions based on the insights you have uncovered. So, let's dive into the exciting world of sentiment analysis and learn how to unlock the full potential...
