# 🎯 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
```json
{
  "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)
```bash
curl -X POST "http://localhost:8000/api/analyze" \
  -F "text=The camera is amazing but battery drains fast"
```

### Via cURL (Audio)
```bash
curl -X POST "http://localhost:8000/api/analyze" \
  -F "file=@conversation.wav" \
  -F "language=en"
```

### Via Python
```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
```javascript
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}`);
  }
}
```

| Whisper Transcription | 1-3s per minute | Depends on audio quality & device |
| NLP Processing | 50-200ms | Depends on text length |
| Total Pipeline | 1-5s | From upload to results |
| Concurrent Users | Unlimited | Async FastAPI handles scaling |
| Memory Usage | ~2-3GB | With loaded models |

---

## 🎓 How the NLP Works

### 1. Text Normalization
```python
text = "  Multiple   SPACES   and   formatting  "
normalized = "Multiple SPACES and formatting"
```

### 2. spaCy Processing
```python
doc = nlp("The camera is amazing but battery drains fast")
# Tokenization, POS tagging, dependency parsing
```

### 3. Noun Extraction
```python
nouns = [token for token in doc if token.pos_ == "NOUN"]
# → ["camera", "battery"]
```

### 4. Context Window Isolation
```python
"The camera is amazing" → [0.87 positive score]
"battery drains fast" → [-0.55 negative score]
```

### 5. VADER Sentiment Analysis
```python
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:**
```powershell
python -m spacy download en_core_web_sm
```

### Issue: "Whisper not found or download stuck"
**Solution:**
```powershell
# Manually download (one-time)
python -c "import whisper; whisper.load_model('small')"
```

### Issue: Frontend won't connect to API
**Solution:**
```powershell
# 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)

   - Open: http://localhost:5173

2. **Test with sample:**
   - Upload a text file or paste a review
   - Watch the pipeline execute in real-time
   - See product-level sentiment breakdown

3. **Integrate with your app:**
   - Use `/api/analyze` endpoint
   - Or use `/api/analyze-stream` for real-time updates

4. **Customize:**
   - Add custom sentiment lexicons in `engine.py`
   - Extend product categories
   - Add multi-language support
   - Deploy to production
