Practical Sentiment and Emotion Analysis with DistilBERT and RoBERTa

Welcome to the Sentiment and Emotion Analysis Application repository! This guide provides a detailed overview of how to run a sentiment and emotion analysis tool using both Streamlit and Gradio interfaces. This project demonstrates how to integrate advanced AI models with user-friendly interfaces for practical natural language processing tasks.

• Script Folder: This repository contains the scripts required to run the sentiment and emotion analysis application with both Streamlit and Gradio.

Overview

This application utilizes the distilbert-base-multilingual-cased-sentiments-student model for sentiment analysis and the roberta-base-go_emotions model for emotion detection. The sentiment analysis covers three categories: positive, negative, and neutral, while the emotion detection identifies the top six emotions with corresponding scores.

The application provides two interfaces:

• Streamlit Interface: For a web-based interactive experience with additional features.
• Gradio Interface: For a quick and easy web-based demo with suggestion capabilities.

This guide covers:

• Prerequisites: Necessary tools and software.
• Installation Instructions: How to set up your environment.
• Running the Application: Detailed commands to launch either interface.
• Troubleshooting: Common issues and their solutions.
• Contribution Guidelines: How to contribute to the project.
• Additional Resources: Links for further reading.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have the following tools installed on your system:

1. Conda: Follow the instructions on the Miniconda installation page to install Conda.
2. Bash: Bash is typically included with Unix-based systems (Linux, macOS). For Windows users, consider using Git Bash or the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL).

Installation Instructions

Follow these steps to set up your environment and install the necessary packages:

1. Clone the Repository

   Clone this repository to your local machine:

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/sentiment-analysis-app.git
   cd sentiment-analysis-app

2. Run the Setup Script

   The setup_environment.sh script automates the environment setup process. It creates and activates a Conda environment, installs necessary packages, and provides options to run the application using Streamlit or Gradio.

   bash setup_environment.sh

   The script will prompt you with a menu to choose between the following options:

   • Run with Streamlit interface
   • Run with Gradio interface
   • Update dependencies
   • Exit

   Choose the appropriate option to proceed.

Running the Application

You can run the application using the provided script:

Launch Streamlit Interface

To run the application with Streamlit, select the Streamlit interface option from the setup script menu, or use the following command:

python run_sentiment_analysis.py --interface streamlit

This will start a local Streamlit server and open your default web browser to view the application. The Streamlit interface includes:

• Theme Selection: Choose between Normal, Unnormal, or Fun themes.
• Sentiment and Emotion History: View past sentiment and emotion analyses.
• Interactive Tutorial: Get a guided tour of the application.
• Animated Transitions: Experience dynamic visual effects for sentiment scores.
• Twitter Sharing: Share your analysis results directly on Twitter.
• Visualization: Displays sentiment and emotion scores using colorful bar charts.

Launch Gradio Interface

To run the application with Gradio, select the Gradio interface option from the setup script menu, or use the following command:

python run_sentiment_analysis.py --interface gradio

This will start a local Gradio server and open your default web browser to view the application. The Gradio interface features:

• Twitter Sharing: Share your analysis results directly on Twitter.
• Visualization: Displays sentiment and emotion scores using bar charts.
• Suggestion Options: Offers pre-prepared text options that users can pick from to facilitate analysis.

Troubleshooting

• Streamlit Command Not Found: Ensure Streamlit is installed correctly. Verify by running streamlit --version.
• Gradio Command Not Found: Ensure Gradio is installed correctly. Verify by running pip show gradio.
• Environment Activation: Ensure the Conda environment is activated with conda activate sentiment_analysis.

If you encounter issues, verify that you are in the correct directory and that all dependencies are installed.

Contributing

Contributions to enhance this application are welcome! If you have suggestions, improvements, or additional features, please feel free to open an issue or create a pull request. Let's collaborate to make this tool even more useful for sentiment and emotion analysis.
