SRS Sentiment Analysis Project (1)

This Software Requirements Specification (SRS) outlines the development of a sentiment analysis system that classifies restaurant reviews as positive or negative using NLP and Machine Learning. The system will preprocess text, utilize a Bag of Words model, and train a Naive Bayes classifier, with specific functional and non-functional requirements detailed. Future enhancements may include support for additional machine learning models and a web-based GUI.

Software Requirements Specification

(SRS)
1. Introduction

1.1 Purpose
The purpose of this document is to specify the requirements for developing a sentiment
analysis system that classifies restaurant reviews as positive or negative using Natural
Language Processing (NLP) and Machine Learning techniques.

1.2 Scope
This project involves creating a system that reads restaurant reviews, cleans and
preprocesses the text, transforms it into numerical features using a Bag of Words model,
and trains a Naive Bayes classifier to predict the sentiment of the reviews. The project is
developed using Python and various libraries like NLTK, Scikit-learn, Pandas, and NumPy.

1.5 Overview
This document is structured to provide an overview of the system, specific functional and
non-functional requirements, system features, and other related information essential for
the design and development of the system.
2. Overall Description

2.1 Product Perspective


The system is an independent application that processes textual review data and outputs
the predicted sentiment classification. It does not integrate with external APIs or systems
and operates as a standalone project.

2.2 Product Functions


Load the dataset containing restaurant reviews.
Clean and preprocess text (remove noise, stopwords, stemming).
Convert text data into numerical features using the Bag of Words model.
Train a Naive Bayes classifier on the preprocessed data.
Predict the sentiment (positive/negative) of the reviews.
Evaluate the model using accuracy scores and a confusion matrix.

2.3 User Classes and Characteristics


Developers and Data Scientists: Users who will train, modify, and analyze the model.
Restaurant Analysts/Owners (Future Scope): Users who will interpret sentiment outputs to
make business decisions.

2.4 Operating Environment


Operating System: Windows, Linux, or macOS
Programming Language: Python 3.8 or higher
Libraries: NLTK, Scikit-learn, Pandas, NumPy
Development Environment: Jupyter Notebook, Google Colab, or VS Code

2.5 Design and Implementation Constraints


Dataset must be in a clean tab-separated value (.tsv) format.
System supports only English language reviews.
Only binary classification (positive or negative) is supported.

2.6 User Documentation


README file describing setup and execution steps.
Inline code comments for better understanding.

2.7 Assumptions and Dependencies


All reviews are in English.
NLTK stopwords resource must be available (requires internet connection for initial
download).
Clean, non-empty dataset is provided.
3. Specific Requirements

3.1 External Interfaces

3.1.1 User Interfaces


The user interacts with the system via a Python script or Jupyter Notebook interface.
Results (confusion matrix, accuracy) are displayed on the console.

3.1.2 Hardware Interfaces


Standard personal computer with at least 4GB RAM and 1.6 GHz processor.

3.1.3 Software Interfaces


Python interpreter, libraries (NLTK, Scikit-learn, Pandas, NumPy).

3.1.4 Communication Interfaces


Not applicable (standalone system).

3.2 Functional Requirements


FR1 Import restaurant review dataset from a TSV file.
FR2 Clean text data by removing non-alphabetical characters, converting to lowercase, and
removing stopwords (except 'not').
FR3 Apply stemming to the words in the reviews.
FR4 Transform cleaned text into numerical features using the Bag of Words model.
FR5 Split the data into training and testing sets.
FR6 Train a Naive Bayes classifier on the training data.
FR7 Predict sentiment labels for the test data.
FR8 Evaluate model performance through a confusion matrix and accuracy score.

3.3 Non-Functional Requirements


NFR1 The system should achieve at least 70% classification accuracy.
NFR2 The system should complete training within 2 minutes for a dataset of 1000 reviews.
NFR3 The system should be robust to missing or irrelevant data by providing appropriate
error messages.
NFR4 Code must be maintainable and well-documented with inline comments.

3.4 System Features


Data Preprocessing: Cleans and prepares review text for analysis.
Feature Extraction: Converts text data into numerical feature vectors.
Model Training: Trains a Naive Bayes classifier on labeled training data.
Sentiment Prediction: Predicts sentiment for unseen review data.
Model Evaluation: Provides confusion matrix and accuracy of the trained model.
4. Other Requirements
The system should allow easy replacement or extension to other machine learning models
like SVM or Logistic Regression in future versions.
Future versions may implement a web-based GUI for ease of use.
