Sentiment analysis involves determining the emotional tone of a text, whether it's positive, negative, or neutral. In this project, we explore three distinct sentiment analysis techniques and evaluate their efficacy across a variety of criteria.
- NLTK: Used for VADER's lexicon-based approach.
- Hugging Face Transformers: Utilized the Roberta Pretrained Model for deep learning-based sentiment analysis.
- Huggingface Pipeline: Employed for efficient sentiment predictions without complex setup.
- Pandas: Data manipulation and analysis.
- Seaborn and Matplotlib: Data visualization.
- Accuracy Comparison: We analyzed the accuracy of each approach on a dataset containing various sentiment-labeled texts.
- Speed Comparison: Processing times for each approach were measured to assess their efficiency.
- Graphical Representations: Utilized Seaborn and Matplotlib to create insightful visualizations.

- Conclusion: Summarized the findings and provided recommendations based on the comparative analysis.
- The Huggingface Pipeline approach demonstrated the highest accuracy (96.40%), making it ideal for precise sentiment analysis tasks.
- The Roberta Pretrained Model showcased competitive accuracy (80.80%) while offering customization potential.
- VADER, despite its simpler lexicon-based method, still achieved decent accuracy (77.80%) and is suitable for quick assessments.
- The Huggingface Pipeline is particularly recommended for real-time applications requiring accurate sentiment predictions.
