Technical requirements

We will leverage the pandas, matplotlib, seaborn, nltk, scikit-learn, gensim, and pyLDAvis libraries in Python for this chapter. The code and notebooks for this chapter are available on GitHub at https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Exploratory-Data-Analysis-with-Python-Cookbook.

Across many of the recipes, we will be using nltk, which is a widely used library for several text analysis tasks, such as text cleaning, stemming, lemmatization, and sentiment analysis. It has a suite of text-processing modules that perform these tasks, and it is very easy to use. To install nltk, we will use the code here:

pip install nltk

To perform various tasks, nltk also requires some resources to be downloaded. The following code helps to achieve this:

nltk.download('punkt')
nltk.download('stopwords')
nltk.download('wordnet')
nltk.download('averaged_perceptron_tagger')
nltk.download('vader_lexicon')
nltk.download(&apos...
