Steps:
To work with Spark, we must first create a SparkSession object.
import org.apache.spark.sql.SparkSession val spark = SparkSession.builder() .appName(”SentimentAnalysis”) .master(”local[*]”).getOrCreate()
The next step is to load the dataset of text data we will analyze for sentiment. Any type of text data can be used, such as customer reviews, social media posts, or other texts. A dataset of customer reviews could be loaded as follows:
val custReviews = spark.read.option(”header”,”true”) .csv(”customer_reviews_data.csv”)
As a next step, we need to preprocess the text data in order to prepare it for sentiment analysis. The process usually involves removing any irrelevant information, such as punctuation and stop words, and converting the text data into a machine-readable format. The text data could be preprocessed as follows:
import org.apache.spark.ml.feature.StopWordsRemover import org.apache.spark.ml.feature.Tokenizer val tokenizer = new Tokenizer().setInputCol(”text”) .setOutputCol(”words”) val remover = new StopWordsRemover().setInputCol(”words”) .setOutputCol(”filtered”) val words = tokenizer.transform(custReviews) val filteredWords = remover.transform(words)
The preprocessed text data can then be used to train a machine learning model for sentiment analysis. As an example, we could train a Logistic Regression model as follows:
import org.apache.spark.ml.classification.LogisticRegression import org.apache.spark.ml.feature.{HashingTF, IDF} val hashingTF = new HashingTF().setInputCol(”filtered”) .setOutputCol(”rawFeatures”) val idf = new IDF().setInputCol(”rawFeatures”) .setOutputCol(”features”) val lr = new LogisticRegression().setLabelCol(”label”) .setFeaturesCol(”features”) val pipeline = new Pipeline().setStages(Array(tokenizer, remover, hashingTF,idf, lr)) val model = pipeline.fit(trainingData)
Finally, we can use the trained model to predict sentiment from new text data. As an example, we could predict the sentiment of a new customer review as follows:
val newReview = Seq(”This product is great!”).toDF(”text”) val prediction = model.transform(newReview) In the prediction DataFrame, we will present a predicted label for the new review, as well as a probability score indicating the degree of confidence the model has in its prediction. In analyzing the predicted labels for a large dataset of text data, we can gain insights into the sentiment of the text data and use these insights to improve our products.
