Data & Analytics Write-Up
The purpose of this project is to research current trends in Data Analytics. The topic I chose was Natural Language Processing and this is the result.
Huge advancements in NLP through Deep Learning are fueling the full-on integration of NLP into our regular Data Analysis. Neural Networks can now extract information from large bodies of text incredibly quickly. They’re able to classify text into different categories, determine sentiment about text, and perform analysis on the similarity of text data. In the end, all of that information can be stored in a single feature vector of numbers.
As a result, NLP becomes a powerful tool in Data Science. Huge datastores of text, not just one-word answers but full-on paragraphs, can be transformed into numerical data for standard analysis. We’re now able to explore datasets that are far more complex.
