🎯 AI-Powered Aspect-Based Sentiment Analysis System

✅ Current Status - FULLY FUNCTIONAL

This is a production-ready full-stack system that analyzes customer conversations and provides product-level sentiment insights instead of just overall sentiment.

---

🎨 What It Does

INPUT: Audio/Text (customer-sales conversations)
    ↓
TRANSCRIPTION: Audio → Text (Whisper)
    ↓
NLP EXTRACTION: Identify products/features (spaCy)
    ↓
SENTIMENT ANALYSIS: Score each product's sentiment (VADER)
    ↓
OUTPUT: Structured JSON with product-level insights

Example Output

{
  "products": [
    {
      "name": "camera",
      "sentiment": "positive",
      "score": 0.87,
      "confidence": 0.82,
      "context": "The camera quality is absolutely stunning..."
    },
    {
      "name": "battery",
      "sentiment": "negative",
      "score": -0.56,
      "confidence": 0.68,
      "context": "The battery drains too quickly..."
    }
  ],
  "summary": {
    "positive": 75,
    "neutral": 0,
    "negative": 25,
    "averageScore": 0.339,
    "dominant": "positive"

🎯 Example Usage

Via cURL (Text)

curl -X POST "http://localhost:8000/api/analyze" \
  -F "text=The camera is amazing but battery drains fast"

Via cURL (Audio)

curl -X POST "http://localhost:8000/api/analyze" \
  -F "file=@conversation.wav" \
  -F "language=en"

Via Python

import requests

response = requests.post(
    "http://localhost:8000/api/analyze",
    data={"text": "The product quality is excellent and delivery was fast."}
)
result = response.json()

print(result["summary"])
# Output:
# {
#   "positive": 100,
#   "neutral": 0,
#   "negative": 0,
#   "averageScore": 0.87,
#   "totalProducts": 2
# }

Via JavaScript/Frontend

const response = await fetch('http://localhost:8000/api/analyze-stream', {
  method: 'POST',
  body: formData,
});

const reader = response.body.getReader();
const decoder = new TextDecoder();

while (true) {
  const { done, value } = await reader.read();
  if (done) break;
  
  const event = JSON.parse(decoder.decode(value));
  if (event.type === 'step') {
    console.log(`Processing: ${event.step.title}`);
  }

🎓 How the NLP Works

1. Text Normalization

text = "  Multiple   SPACES   and   formatting  "
normalized = "Multiple SPACES and formatting"

2. spaCy Processing

doc = nlp("The camera is amazing but battery drains fast")
# Tokenization, POS tagging, dependency parsing

3. Noun Extraction

nouns = [token for token in doc if token.pos_ == "NOUN"]
# → ["camera", "battery"]

4. Context Window Isolation

"The camera is amazing" → [0.87 positive score]
"battery drains fast" → [-0.55 negative score]

5. VADER Sentiment Analysis

vader_score = analyzer.polarity_scores(context)
# → {"neg": 0.0, "neu": 0.5, "pos": 0.5, "compound": 0.57}

---

🚨 Troubleshooting

Issue: "spaCy model not found"

Solution:

python -m spacy download en_core_web_sm

Issue: "Whisper not found or download stuck"

Solution:

# Manually download (one-time)
python -c "import whisper; whisper.load_model('small')"

Issue: Frontend won't connect to API

Solution:

# Check API is running
curl http://localhost:8000/health

# Check VITE_API_BASE_URL in frontend
# Default: http://localhost:8000

Issue: Audio file not recognized

Solution:

• Ensure audio format is in supported list
• Check file is not corrupted
• Try different format (.wav recommended)
