- Welcome to Lesson Two, "Perform Sentiment Analysis." In this lesson, we're going to explore sentiment analysis, which is all about understanding emotions in text. And this can be useful in a number of ways, including for projects like automatically analyzing tweets. We'll talk about that in much more detail shortly. Now, we kick things off here by looking at some of the useful tools in Python that are designed for this purpose. And in particular, we're going to dive into a package called NLTK, which is a widely used library for processing language data and doing tasks like sentiment analysis. And with all of these tools in our toolkit, we'll then see how to incorporate basic sentiment analysis into a real app, as well as just some different tasks to put our skills to the test. So that's our plan of attack for this lesson. Let's get started.
