NLP Application
• Supervised:
• Spam Detection
• Sentiment Analysis
• Intent Classification
• Multi-Label, Multi-Class Text Classification
• Unsupervised:
• Topic Modeling
• Keyword Extraction
• Trend/Outlier detection
Text Mining Applications –Supervised
–Many typical predictive modeling or classification
applications can be enhanced by incorporating textual data in
addition to traditional input variables.
• churning propensity models that include customer center
notes, website forms, e-mails, and Twitter messages
• hospital admission prediction models incorporating
medical records notes as a new source of information
• insurance fraud modeling using adjustor notes
• sentiment categorization
• stylometry or forensic applications that identify the
author of a particular writing sample
Text Mining Applications –Unsupervised
• Text clustering • Trend analysis

Sentiment Analysis
• Sentiments can be either positive or negative.

• Machine learning algorithms can be used to evaluate if a series of
words reflect a positive or negative sentiment
• unsupervised or supervised?!
Sentiment Analysis (supervised vs unsupervised)
• We can have actual humans to determine and label the sentiment of
our data and treat it like a text classification problem.
• You may find some human-labeled tweets data on the (data.world).
Data contains over 8000 tweets that have been labeled to be positive,
negative, neutral, or unknown (“I can’t tell’).
• How can we approach the same problem, if we didn’t have labels?
(unsupervised learning)
Sentiment Analysis
• The field of sentiment analysis deals with categorization (or
classification) of opinions expressed in textual documents.
• Green color represents positive tone, red color represents negative

tone, and product features and model names are highlighted in blue
and brown, respectively.
Text Data in Predictive Models
• Use of both types of data in building predictive models.
• the process involves running algorithms on the data set in which the
prediction is going to take place.
• Training the model,
• multiple models being used on the same data set and finally arriving
on the model which is the best fit based on the business data
understanding.
• The predictive models’ category includes predictive, descriptive, and
decision models.
NLP Tasks
• NLP applications require several NLP analyses:
–Word tokenization
–Sentence boundary detection
–Part-of-speech (POS) tagging
• to identify the part-of-speech (e.g. noun, verb) of each word
–Named Entity (NE) recognition
• to identify proper nouns (e.g. names of person, location, organization;
domain terminologies)
–Parsing
• to identify the syntactic structure of a sentence
–Semantic analysis
• to derive the meaning of a sentence
Tokenization
• Tokenization is essentially splitting a phrase, sentence, paragraph, or
an entire text document into smaller units, such as individual words or
terms. Each of these smaller units are called tokens.
• The tokens could be words, numbers or punctuation marks. In

tokenization, smaller units are created by locating word boundaries.
Tokenization using Python’s split() function
Tokenization using NLTK
Part-Of-Speech (POS) Tagging
• POS tagging is a process of assigning a POS or lexical class marker to
each word in a sentence (and all sentences in a corpus).
Input: the lead paint is unsafe

Output: the/Det lead/N paint/N is/V unsafe/Adj
Named Entity Recognition (NER)
• NER is to process a text and identify named entities in a sentence
• also called entity identification or entity extraction ‒ is a natural language
processing (NLP) technique that automatically identifies named entities in a
text and classifies them into predefined categories.
• Entities can be names of people, organizations, locations, times, quantities,
monetary values, percentages, and more.
–e.g. “U.N. official Ekeus heads for Baghdad.”

Parsing
• is the process of determining the syntactic structure of a text by
analyzing its constituent words based on an underlying grammar (of
the language).
• sentence -> noun_phrase, verb_phrase

• noun_phrase -> proper_noun
• noun_phrase -> determiner, noun
• verb_phrase -> verb, noun_phrase
• proper_noun -> [mary]
• noun -> [apple]
• verb -> [ate]
• determiner -> [the]
Tom ate an apple
Parsing
• The purpose of lexical analyzers is to take a stream of input characters
and decode them into higher level tokens that a parser can
understand.
• Parsers consume the output of the lexical analyzer and operate by
analyzing the sequence of tokens returned.
Parsing
• We can understand the relevance of parsing in NLP with the help of
following points:
• Parser is used to report any syntax error.
• It helps to recover from commonly occurring error so that the
processing of the remainder of program can be continued.
• Parse tree is created with the help of a parser.
• Parser is used to create symbol table, which plays an important role in
NLP.
• Parser is also used to produce intermediate representations (IR).
Parsing Methods
• Deep Vs Shallow Parsing
Various types of parsers
• Recursive descent parser
• Shift-reduce parser
• Chart parser
• Regexp parser
• Dependency Parsing
