NLP with TextBlob Workshop

NLP Workshop

Welcome to this repository. I have instructions and resources so you can get up to speed.

1. You will need Python installed on your computer and other data science packages. I use the Anaconda distribution of Python 3.6.

2. If you are comfortable with Git, make sure to clone this repository on your local computer, otherwise you can simply download a zip archive by clicking on the green button on the top right of the page.

3. Make sure you are familiar with Python syntax. There is a review Jupyter notebook in this repository. Make sure you can go into your terminal and run the command jupyer notebook. A notebook server should start and you will be able to view, create and save notebooks.

4. We will be using TextBlob. Make sure to run these commands in your terminal / shell.

   $ pip install -U textblob
   $ python -m textblob.download_corpora
   

5. We will be using the Twitter US Airline Sentiment provided by Kaggle. The associated data files are located in the data folder.

6. You should be able to import the following packges without a problem. If you get an error, pip install or conda install.

    $ import pandas
    $ import numpy
    $ import textblob
