## Overview

In this repository I applied natural language processing to understand the sentiment in the latest news articles featuring Bitcoin and Ethereum. I also applied fundamental NLP techniques to better understand the other factors involved with the coin prices such as common words and phrases and organizations and entities mentioned in the articles.

I completed the following tasks:

1. Sentiment Analysis

2. Natural Language Processing

3. Named Entity Recognition

See this contained in this [Jupyter Lab notebook](https://github.com/sarahm44/crypto-sentiment-analysis/blob/main/crypto_sentiment_1.ipynb).

## Sentiment Analysis

I used the [newsapi](https://newsapi.org/) to pull the latest news articles for Bitcoin and Ethereum and created a DataFrame of sentiment scores for each coin.

### Bitcoin Sentiment

I created the Bitcoin sentiment scores dataframe:

See Bitcoin sentiment below:

### Ethereum Sentiment

I created the Ethereum sentiment scores dataframe:

See Ethereum sentiment as follows:

![](https://github.com/sarahm44/crypto-sentiment-analysis/blob/main/images/eth_sentiment.png)

Some observations include that:

* Ethereum had the highest mean positive score.

* Ethereum had the highest mean compound score.

* Bitcoin had the highest max compound score.

## Natural Language Processing

In this section, I used NLTK and Python to tokenize text, find n-gram counts, and create word clouds for both coins. 

### Tokenize

I used NLTK and Python to tokenize the text for each coin. I completed the following:

1. Changed each word to lowercase.

2. Removed punctuation.

3. Removed stop words.

See relevant code below:

I then added the "Tokens" column of the tokenized text to the dataframe:

### N-grams

Then I looked at the ngrams and word frequency for each coin.

I completed as follows:

1. Used NLTK to produce the ngrams for N = 2.

2. Listed the top 10 words for each coin.

See below the count for ngrams for N = 2:

See below the code and results for the top 10 words for each coin:

### Word Clouds

Finally, I generated word clouds for each coin to summarize the news for each coin.

See Bitcoin word cloud:

See Ethereum word cloud:

### Named Entity Recognition

In this section, I built a named entity recognition (NER) model for both coins and visualized the tags using SpaCy.

See Bitcoin NER:

See Ethereum NER:
