Introduction to Project:
This project aims to develop a system capable of detecting and
classifying sentiments expressed in online discussions using
advanced AI techniques. The system will be designed to identify
various forms of sentiment, including positive, negative, neutral, and
mixed emotions, from diverse sources such as social media
platforms, forums, and blogs.

Problem Formulation:
• With the proliferation of online content, sentiment analysis has
become crucial for understanding public opinion on products,
services, or topics.
• Web scraping enables the collection of vast amounts of
unstructured textual data from websites, forums, and social
media platforms. However, transforming this data into
actionable insights requires effective sentiment analysis
techniques

Objectives of the Work:
•Primary Objective: To perform sentiment analysis on web-scraped
data to identify and classify the sentiments (positive, negative,
neutral) associated with specific topics, products, or services.
•Secondary Objectives:
•To scrape and preprocess textual data from various web sources.
•To develop a machine learning or natural language processing (NLP)
model for sentiment classification.
•To visualize and interpret sentiment trends over time or across
different platforms.

Methodology used:
Web Scraping :
Web scraping is the process of collecting and parsing raw data from
websites.
Steps-
• Scrutinizing the Website: Send HTTP requests using the Requests
library to retrieve the HTML content of the target webpage.
• Understanding URLs: Analyze query parameters (key-value pairs) to
navigate specific web content.
• Dealing with Anti-scraping Measures: Use Selenium for web pages
that block scraping.
Libraries used: Requests, BeautifulSoup, Selenium WebDriver, Pandas

Sentiment Analysis :
Sentiment analysis involves determining the emotional tone within
textual data.

Conclusion:
• This project will involve:
• Web scraping of textual data from websites, blogs, or social media.
• Preprocessing of the scraped data, including cleaning,
tokenization, and handling missing data.
• Sentiment analysis using either machine learning models (e.g.,
SVM, Logistic Regression) or deep learning techniques (e.g., LSTM).
• Evaluation of the sentiment analysis model's accuracy, precision,
recall, and F1-score.
