Projects

  • Natural Language Processing on Scraped Social Media Data

    Created a multitude of programs in python that perform natural language processing and other AI functions to analyze scraped social media data. The project was initially oriented for both commercial and research purposes, being able to recognize sentiment, flag hate speech, and predict future fluctuations in financial assets based on comparisons of queries, time, and geographical locations.
