Comment

Inspiration

The project is inspired by the growing importance of social media sentiment as a key indicator of public opinion and customer satisfaction, particularly within the financial sector. Social media has become a powerful tool for shaping public perception, and in Nigeria, Zenith Bank has stirred a wide range of emotions among its customers. This sentiment analysis aims to explore and understand the diverse perceptions people have about Zenith Bank, providing valuable insights into customer satisfaction and the bank's public image

What it does

The Sentiment Analysis on Zenith Bank project aims to analyze public sentiment toward Zenith Bank by processing and interpreting social media data, specifically from platforms like Twitter. Here's a breakdown of what the project does:

How we built it

The "Sentiment Analysis on Zenith Bank" project is built using a combination of data science and software development techniques

  1. Data Collection:
  2. Data is collected by scrapping twitter using the tweepy and twitter's APIs. the data is converted to a csv file and further processed
  3. Data Cleaning and Preprocessing:
  4. Data Cleaning: The project involves cleaning the tweet data to remove noise, such as irrelevant text, URLs, mentions, and hashtags. This step ensures the data is suitable for analysis.
  5. Tokenization: The text is broken down into individual words or tokens, which are then processed to identify sentiment.
  6. Sentiment Analysis:
  7. Text Processing: The cleaned text is processed to determine the sentiment of each tweet. This involves using the pre-built sentiment analysis models NLTK, TextBlob.
  8. Classification: Each tweet is classified as positive, negative, or neutral based on its sentiment score.
  9. Data Visualization:
  10. Graphs and Charts: The project visualizes the sentiment data using graphs and charts to represent the distribution of sentiments, trends over time, and other relevant insights.
  11. Interpretation and Reporting: The final step involves interpreting the results, generating insights, and producing a report that summarizes the findings of the sentiment analysis on Zenith Bank using PowerBI

Challenges we ran into

  • Data Quality Issues
  • Natural Language Processing (NLP) Challenges
  • Access to APIs
  • system compatibility with some libraries used

Accomplishments that we're proud of
