Confusion matrices

You have just finished creating a classification model. This model predicts whether tweets were created by a left-leaning (democrat) or right-leaning (republican) tweet bot. You have made predictions on the test data and have the following result:

Predictions	Left	Right
Left	350	157
Right	57	436

Use the confusion matrix above to answer questions about the models accuracy.

Chapter 1 of Introduction to Natural Langauge Processing prepares you for running your first analysis on text. You will explore regular expressions and tokenization, two of the most common components of most analysis tasks. With regular expressions, you can search for any pattern you can think of, and with tokenization, you can prepare and clean text for more sophisticated analysis. This chapter is necessary for tackling the techniques we will learn in the remaining chapters of this course.

Exercise 1: Regular expression basics Exercise 2: Practicing syntax with grep Exercise 3: Exploring regular expression functions.Exercise 4: Tokenization Exercise 5: tidytext functions Exercise 6: Tokenization: sentences Exercise 7: Text cleaning basics Exercise 8: Text preprocessing: remove stop words Exercise 9: Text preprocessing: Stemming

In this chapter, you will learn the most common and studied ways to analyze text. You will look at creating a text corpus, expanding a bag-of-words representation into a TFIDF matrix, and use cosine-similarity metrics to determine how similar two pieces of text are to each other. You build on your foundations for practicing NLP before you dive into applications of NLP in chapters 3 and 4.

Chapter 3 focuses on two common text analysis approaches, classification modeling, and topic modeling. If you are working on text analysis projects, you will inevitably use one or both of these methods. This chapter teaches you how to perform both techniques and provides insight into how to approach these techniques from a practical point of you.

In chapter 4 we cover two staples of natural language processing, sentiment analysis, and word embeddings. These are two analysis techniques that are a must for anyone learning the fundamentals of text analysis. Furthermore, you will briefly learn about BERT, part-of-speech tagging, and named entity recognition. Almost 15 different analysis techniques were covered in this course, so chapter 4 ends by recapping all of the great techniques you will learn about in this course.
