Sentiment Analysis with Naive Bayes Classifier in Python

作者：禅与计算机程序设计艺术

1.简介

Sentiment analysis is the task of classifying a given text into one of several predefined categories based on its sentiment connotation. The objective behind sentiment analysis is to understand the attitude and opinion expressed by an entity towards some topic or issue. In this article, we will be using the Python programming language to implement a basic approach for performing sentiment analysis using the Naive Bayes classifier algorithm.

This approach involves training a machine learning model with labeled data that contains features extracted from preprocessed textual input documents such as positive/negative words, emotional expressions, subjectivity, etc., then applying it to unseen test texts to predict their corresponding sentiments. We will use scikit-learn library for implementing this algorithm.
