• A code editor or IDE
• Basic understanding of NLP and sentiment analysis
• Required libraries: nltk, scikit-learn, pandas

Before you Start

Install Python and the required libraries:

pip install nltk scikit-learn pandas

Getting Started

Create a Project

1. Create a folder named sentiment-analysis-model.
2. Open the folder in your code editor or IDE.
3. Create a file named sentiment_analysis_model.py.
4. Copy the code below into your file.

Write the Code

Example Usage

python sentiment_analysis_model.py

What it produces

Running the file exactly as it ships takes 3.7 s and prints:

usage: sentiment_analysis_model.py [-h] [--data DATA] [--train]
                                   [--model MODEL] [--predict PREDICT]
 
Sentiment Analysis Model
 
options:
  -h, --help         show this help message and exit
  --data DATA        Path to CSV data file
  --train            Train model
  --model MODEL      Path to save/load model
  --predict PREDICT  Text to predict sentiment

How it fits together

Read from the top: this is what runs when you execute the file, and which function calls which. It is generated from the code, so it cannot drift from it.

Explanation

Key Features

• Sentiment Analysis: Analyzes sentiment in text using NLP.
• Data Preprocessing: Cleans and prepares text data.
• Model Training: Trains a model for sentiment analysis.
• Evaluation: Assesses model performance.
• Error Handling: Validates inputs and manages exceptions.

Code Breakdown

1. What it imports (lines 6–16)

import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
import argparse
from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split
from sklearn.feature_extraction.text import CountVectorizer
from sklearn.naive_bayes import MultinomialNB
from sklearn.metrics import classification_report
import joblib
import nltk
nltk.download('stopwords')
from nltk.corpus import stopwords

2. load_data — the function (lines 24–27)

def load_data(csv_path):
    df = pd.read_csv(csv_path)
    df['text'] = df['text'].apply(preprocess)
    return df

3. train_model — the function (lines 29–42)

def train_model(df, model_path=None):
    X = df['text']
    y = df['label']
    vectorizer = CountVectorizer()
    X_vec = vectorizer.fit_transform(X)
    X_train, X_test, y_train, y_test = train_test_split(X_vec, y, test_size=0.2, random_state=42)
    clf = MultinomialNB()
    clf.fit(X_train, y_train)
    y_pred = clf.predict(X_test)
    print(classification_report(y_test, y_pred))
    if model_path:
        joblib.dump((clf, vectorizer), model_path)
        print(f"Model saved to {model_path}")
    return clf, vectorizer

def predict(model, vectorizer, texts):
    texts = [preprocess(t) for t in texts]
    X_vec = vectorizer.transform(texts)
    preds = model.predict(X_vec)
    return preds

5. main — the function (lines 50–69)

def main():
    parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(description="Sentiment Analysis Model")
    parser.add_argument('--data', type=str, help='Path to CSV data file')
    parser.add_argument('--train', action='store_true', help='Train model')
    parser.add_argument('--model', type=str, default='sentiment_model.pkl', help='Path to save/load model')
    parser.add_argument('--predict', type=str, help='Text to predict sentiment')
    args = parser.parse_args()
 
    if args.train and args.data:
        df = load_data(args.data)
        train_model(df, args.model)
    elif args.predict:
        if not os.path.exists(args.model):
            print(f"Model file {args.model} not found. Train the model first.")
            return
        clf, vectorizer = joblib.load(args.model)
        result = predict(clf, vectorizer, [args.predict])
        print(f"Sentiment: {result[0]}")
    else:
        parser.print_help()
