ICT550 Lab Assignment 2
Customers usually talk about products on social media and customer feedback forums. This data
can be collected and analysed to gauge overall customer response. Taking this a step further,
trends in the data can also be examined. For example, customers of a certain age group and
demographic may respond more favourably to a certain product than others. Based on the
information collected, companies can then position the product differently or change their target
audience.
Tasks:
1. Identify a large dataset which consist of public opinions or sentiments on any
topics/issues such as online products reviews (e.g, movies, mobile phones), hotel
reviews, political and financial analysis.
2. Analyse the public opinions about the topics/issues. Use phyton to classify the
sentiment. Submit a report that discusses your findings on sentiment analysis.
c) Problem resolution
The file you downloaded may contain extra or useless fields of data. It is your job to
analyze what you want to represent. Just like the curator of a museum makes decision
about what to show and how to display it, the data you choose to display directly impacts
the viewer’s experience of the information. The process may include:
format checks
completeness checks
reasonableness checks
limit checks
review of the data to identify outliers (geographic, statistical, temporal or
environmental) or other errors,
assessment of data by subject area experts (e.g. taxonomic specialists)
missing values
smooth noisy data
identify or remove outliers, and
resolve inconsistencies
