### Basic Questions

1. **Project Overview:**
- **Question:** Can you describe your Amazon
Product Reviews Sentiment Analysis project?
- **Answer:** The project involved developing a
sentiment analysis system to classify Amazon product
reviews as positive or negative. I used various NLP
techniques for text preprocessing and feature
extraction and employed machine learning models to
predict sentiment. The project also included deploying
the model using a Flask API and creating a Streamlit
web app for real-time sentiment analysis.

2. **Tools and Technologies:**

- **Question:** What tools and technologies did you
use for this project?
- **Answer:** I used Python, NumPy, Scikit-learn,
Seaborn, Matplotlib, NLTK, Streamlit, XGBoost, Flask,
Word Cloud, Git, and VS Code. These tools helped in
data manipulation, visualization, model building,
deployment, and version control.
3. **Text Preprocessing:**
- **Question:** What text preprocessing techniques
did you implement?
- **Answer:** I implemented several text
preprocessing techniques, including tokenization,
stopword removal, stemming, lemmatization, and
vectorization using TF-IDF. These techniques helped in
cleaning and transforming the raw text data into a
format suitable for machine learning models.

### Intermediate Questions

1. **Feature Extraction:**
- **Question:** How did you perform feature
extraction from the text data?
- **Answer:** I used the TF-IDF (Term Frequency-
Inverse Document Frequency) vectorizer to convert the
text data into numerical features. TF-IDF helps in
highlighting the important words in the documents
while reducing the weight of commonly used words
across all documents.

2. **Model Selection:**
 - **Question:** Which machine learning model did
you choose and why?
- **Answer:** I chose the XGBoost classifier
because of its high performance and ability to handle
large datasets efficiently. XGBoost is known for its
scalability and speed, which made it an ideal choice for
this sentiment analysis task.

3. **Model Evaluation:**
- **Question:** How did you evaluate the
performance of your model?
- **Answer:** I evaluated the model using metrics
such as accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score. The
model achieved a 90% accuracy rate on the test
dataset, which indicates a good performance in
classifying the sentiments correctly.

4. **Visualization:**
- **Question:** What visualizations did you create to
analyze the data and results?
- **Answer:** I used Seaborn and Matplotlib to
create various visualizations, including bar plots, pie
charts, and word clouds. These visualizations helped in
understanding the distribution of sentiments, the most
frequent words in positive and negative reviews, and
the overall performance of the model.

### Advanced Questions

1. **Deployment:**
- **Question:** How did you deploy your sentiment
analysis model?
- **Answer:** I deployed the model using Flask to
create a RESTful API. The Flask API served as a backend
to handle prediction requests. I also developed a
Streamlit web app that interacted with the Flask API to
provide real-time sentiment analysis for the users.

2. **Real-time Analysis:**
- **Question:** Can you explain how the real-time
sentiment analysis works in your Streamlit web app?
- **Answer:** The Streamlit web app allows users to
input a review, which is then sent to the Flask API. The
API preprocesses the review, extracts features using the
trained TF-IDF vectorizer, and predicts the sentiment
using the trained XGBoost model. The predicted
sentiment is then displayed on the Streamlit app
interface in real-time.

3. **Challenges and Solutions:**

- **Question:** What challenges did you face during
this project, and how did you overcome them?
- **Answer:** One challenge was handling the
imbalance in the dataset, as there were more positive
reviews than negative ones. I addressed this by using
techniques like SMOTE (Synthetic Minority Over-
sampling Technique) to balance the dataset. Another
challenge was optimizing the model to achieve high
accuracy. I performed hyperparameter tuning using
GridSearchCV to find the best parameters for the
XGBoost model.

4. **Scalability:**
- **Question:** How did you ensure the scalability of
your sentiment analysis system?
- **Answer:** To ensure scalability, I focused on
optimizing the model and API performance. The use of
XGBoost helped in handling large datasets efficiently. I
also containerized the application using Docker, which
made it easier to deploy and scale across different
environments. Additionally, I designed the system to
handle concurrent requests, ensuring that the web app
remained responsive even under high load.

These questions and answers should help you

effectively discuss your Amazon Product Reviews
Sentiment Analysis project in an interview setting.

### Challenges Faced and How You Addressed Them

1. **Imbalanced Dataset:**
- **Question:** What challenges did you face
regarding the dataset, and how did you overcome
them?
- **Answer:** One of the major challenges was
dealing with the imbalanced dataset, as there were
significantly more positive reviews than negative ones.
To address this, I used the SMOTE (Synthetic Minority
Over-sampling Technique) to create synthetic samples
for the minority class, which helped balance the
dataset and improve model performance.

2. **Text Preprocessing:**
 - **Question:** What challenges did you encounter
during text preprocessing, and how did you handle
them?
- **Answer:** Text preprocessing was challenging
due to the presence of noise such as punctuation,
special characters, and varying text formats. I handled
this by implementing a robust preprocessing pipeline
that included steps like removing punctuation,
converting text to lowercase, removing stopwords, and
applying stemming and lemmatization. This ensured
the text data was clean and consistent for model
training.

3. **Model Optimization:**
- **Question:** What challenges did you face in
optimizing the model, and what steps did you take to
address them?
- **Answer:** Optimizing the model to achieve high
accuracy was challenging. I addressed this by
performing hyperparameter tuning using GridSearchCV
to find the optimal parameters for the XGBoost model.
Additionally, I experimented with different feature
extraction techniques and preprocessing methods to
improve the model's performance.
4. **Deployment:**
- **Question:** What were the challenges in
deploying your model, and how did you overcome
them?
- **Answer:** Deploying the model was challenging
due to the need to integrate the machine learning
model with a web application. I used Flask to create a
RESTful API for serving the model and deployed it using
Docker to ensure consistency across different
environments. For the frontend, I developed a
Streamlit web app that interacted with the Flask API,
allowing for real-time sentiment analysis.
