The AI Writing Contest by Bright Data & HackerNoon: Results Announcement 🎉

How I Scraped YouTube Comments with Bright Data to Understand Customer Sentiment

The Role of Data in Machine Learning In today's AI-driven landscape, machine learning, AI, and chatbots are transforming industries at an unprecedented pace. More businesses are looking to integrate AI into their operations, but how these systems are built often gets overlooked. The main ingredient? Data. A machine learning model is only as good as the data it’s trained on. But where does all this data come from? A significant portion of the data we rely on is publicly available, often found in social media posts, user reviews, and other online content. For sentiment analysis, one of the richest sources of data is Twitter, which continuously streams real-time user-generated content. The challenge, however, lies in how to collect this data effectively and cleanly. The Problem with Traditional Twitter Data Collection When I began working on a sentiment analysis project using Twitter data, I initially considered using the Twitter API. However, I quickly encountered a significant limitation: the free-tier API only provides access to tweets from the previous seven days. For comprehensive sentiment analysis, especially for trending topics or political events spanning weeks or months, this restriction severely limits the scope and quality of the data available. While upgrading to a higher API tier was an option, the cost was prohibitive for a small-scale project like mine. This left me with two paths: attempt to collect the data manually through traditional scraping (which came with its own set of challenges like CAPTCHAs, redundancies, and incomplete records) or find an alternative solution. That's where Bright Data comes into play, solving these issues seamlessly by offering clean, scalable, and historical Twitter datasets. Instead of being confined by API limitations, I could access diverse, high-quality data for my project without the usual hassles. Step-by-Step Guide to Using Bright Data’s Prebuilt Twitter Dataset In this article, I’ll walk you through how you can leverage Bright Data’s Marketplace to acquire high-quality Twitter data for sentiment analysis and share my experience. Step 1: Sign Up and Access the Bright Data Platform Head to the Bright Data website and create a free account to start. Once logged in, you'll be directed to the Data Marketplace, where various prebuilt datasets can be accessed, including those related to Twitter. Step 2: Search for the Relevant Dataset Once you select your dataset, you can download it directly to your local machine or access it via API. The quick process allows you to start working with high-quality data almost immediately. I used the Twitter-posts data set Step 3: Load and Clean the Data The raw Twitter data typically contains a lot of metadata that may not be relevant for sentiment analysis, such as user information, image URLs, and other non-textual data. We'll focus on the text of the tweets, as that is where the sentiment analysis will be applied, along with relevant engagement metrics like reposts and likes. import pandas as pd
df = pd.read_csv("path_to_your_dataset.csv")
df.head() The next step is to clean the data by handling missing values and removing irrelevant columns. df_clean = df[['user_posted', 'description', 'date_posted', 'reposts', 'likes']]
df_clean = df_clean.dropna(subset=['description'])
df_clean = df_clean.drop_duplicates(subset=['description'])
df_clean.head() Step 4: Sentiment Analysis — Extracting Meaning from Tweets Now that we have cleaned the data and have the relevant text, it’s time to dive into the sentiment analysis. Sentiment analysis means determining the emotional tone behind words—whether the tweet is positive, negative, or neutral. I’ve used a popular library called VADER (Valence Aware Dictionary and Sentiment Reasoner), specifically designed for social media text. It’s great at handling informal language like slang and emojis. The code snippet below performs sentiment analysis using VADER from vaderSentiment.vaderSentiment import SentimentIntensityAnalyzer

analyzer = SentimentIntensityAnalyzer()

def get_sentiment(text):
    sentiment = analyzer.polarity_scores(text)
    return sentiment['compound']  

df_clean['sentiment'] = df_clean['description'].apply(get_sentiment)

df_clean.head() Step 5: Analyzing Sentiment Distribution Once sentiment scores are calculated, we can analyze the distribution to see how positive or negative the tweets are on average. This can provide insights into the overall public mood about a particular topic or event. We can also visualize the sentiment distribution using a histogram or wordcloud to identify key emotions. This plot will give you a good sense of the sentiment spread, whether it's leaning toward positive, negative, or neutral. In this case, There’s a high frequency of neutral tweets. Step 6: Correlating Sentiment with Engagement Now that we have the sentiment scores for each tweet, the next step is to explore whether there's any correlation between sentiment and engagement metrics like likes and reposts. In social media analytics, one might expect that more positive sentiment could lead to higher engagement (more likes, more reposts). However, is that truly the case? To find out, we can calculate the correlation between the sentiment scores and engagement metrics, the results are: Correlation between sentiment and likes: 0.022806738610786123 Correlation between sentiment and reposts: 0.008885789875330416 Given the weak correlation values from my data analysis, we see that there isn't a strong connection between sentiment and engagement. The correlation between sentiment and likes was 0.02, and for sentiment and reposts, it was only 0.008. These values suggest that engagement metrics like likes and reposts are not significantly influenced by the sentiment of tweets. Rethinking the Role of Sentiment in Engagement The weak correlation between sentiment and engagement shows that there are other factors at play. While sentiment analysis helps us understand public opinion, engagement is likely driven by additional factors, such as: Content relevance: Trending topics tend to generate more engagement regardless of sentiment.
User influence: Popular accounts often receive higher engagement, irrespective of their tweet’s sentiment.
Timing: Tweets posted during live events or peak times are more likely to get attention. While sentiment analysis is a valuable tool for understanding how people feel about a topic, it’s not always a reliable predictor of engagement. To gain deeper insights into user behavior, it’s essential to consider other factors such as the content’s timing, relevance, and the user’s influence.

There is a popular saying that: Data is the new gold, and the web (internet) is the biggest gold mine. As a business owner, student, drop shipper, or corporate worker, you must have faced the risk of going out of business if you lack access to some (if not the most) crucial piece of data. But fear not; there is a solution that helps you unlock the full potential of web data scraping/collection, which I will show you in this article. Why Do We Collect Data: The Essence of Data Scraping/Collection Before I dive into the challenges faced with data scraping/collection and the wonders of Bright Data solutions, it is important to understand the essence of data scraping in this digital age that we are in. Data scraping is a powerful technique that efficiently navigates the internet to extract specific valuable informations, acting like a personal assistant for data retrieval. Whether you seek to analyze market trends and performance, track competitor prices, or simply satisfy your thirst for knowledge, data scraping is the key to making your life easier. Challenges With Data Scraping: The Limitations Before Bright Data Solutions Like an adventure, data scraping comes with its share of challenges and obstacles. One significant hurdle is the risk of websites feeling under attack when excessive data is scraped too quickly. To counter such attempts, websites deploy defensive measures, such as CAPTCHAs, to determine whether the user is a human or a computer. If the volume of requests persists, the website may resort to blocking users, hindering or halting data scraping altogether. To avoid such unfavorable situations, a more versatile and intelligent solution is required. Bright Data: The Ultimate Solution for Web Data Collection Bright Data comes as the ultimate solution for web data collection tailored specifically for businesses. With its automated online data collection platform, Bright Data offers unlimited access to the vast wisdom of the web without exposing you to any risks. How Bright Data Works The magic behind Bright Data lies in its web unlocker: a unique P2P network composed of millions of genuine residential and mobile IPs from across the globe. These IPs serve as secret identities, making your data requests appear as if they come from real people, making it highly unlikely for websites to block them. Why I Am Using Bright Data: The Power of Using Bright Data 1. Versatility and Ease of Use Bright Data shines with its user-friendly approach. To start scraping vast amounts of data, all you need is a scraping browser — an automated browser that allows you to interact with websites just like a human user. It efficiently handles challenges such as CAPTCHAs, fingerprints, and retries while mimicking the behavior of a regular user. Compatible with popular automation tools like Puppeteer and Playwright and programming languages like Python and Node.js, the scraping browser makes data collection seamless and efficient. 2. Ready-to-Use Data Sets If you ever need ready-to-use data, Bright Data’s data sets tool provides pre-collected and structured data from various domains, including popular platforms like LinkedIn, Amazon, Crunchbase, Indeed, and Twitter. Regularly updated, these comprehensive data sets offer you a treasure trove of information at your fingertips. Practical Examples of What I Have Used Bright Data for 1. E-Commerce: Monitoring Competitor Prices and Enriching Product Catalogs In the world of e-commerce, web data plays a crucial role in monitoring competitor prices, ensuring product availability, and understanding customer reviews. For instance, a global Beauty and Personal Care Marketplace efficiently uses web data to check competitor prices in real-time, enabling them to adjust pricing strategies and optimize promotions on the fly, enhancing their market competitiveness. 2. Social Media: Analyzing Consumer Sentiment and Trends Social media platforms offer a gold mine of user-generated content, providing valuable insights into consumer behavior, trends, and sentiment. A global digital marketing agency effectively analyzes consumer sentiment towards their client’s brands using web data from various social media platforms. This deeper understanding empowers them to refine marketing strategies and achieve better results.

As a business owner, student, drop shipper, or corporate worker, you must have faced the risk of going out of business if you lack access to some (if not the most) crucial piece of data. But fear not; there is a solution that helps you unlock the full potential of web data scraping/collection, which I will show you in this article. (if not the most) Why Do We Collect Data: The Essence of Data Scraping/Collection Before I dive into the challenges faced with data scraping/collection and the wonders of Bright Data solutions, it is important to understand the essence of data scraping in this digital age that we are in. Bright Data Data scraping is a powerful technique that efficiently navigates the internet to extract specific valuable informations, acting like a personal assistant for data retrieval. Whether you seek to analyze market trends and performance, track competitor prices, or simply satisfy your thirst for knowledge, data scraping is the key to making your life easier. Challenges With Data Scraping: The Limitations Before Bright Data Solutions Bright Data Like an adventure, data scraping comes with its share of challenges and obstacles. One significant hurdle is the risk of websites feeling under attack when excessive data is scraped too quickly. To counter such attempts, websites deploy defensive measures, such as CAPTCHAs, to determine whether the user is a human or a computer. If the volume of requests persists, the website may resort to blocking users, hindering or halting data scraping altogether. To avoid such unfavorable situations, a more versatile and intelligent solution is required. Bright Data: The Ultimate Solution for Web Data Collection Bright Data comes as the ultimate solution for web data collection tailored specifically for businesses. With its automated online data collection platform, Bright Data offers unlimited access to the vast wisdom of the web without exposing you to any risks. Bright Data How Bright Data Works How Bright Data Works The magic behind Bright Data lies in its web unlocker: a unique P2P network composed of millions of genuine residential and mobile IPs from across the globe. These IPs serve as secret identities, making your data requests appear as if they come from real people, making it highly unlikely for websites to block them. Why I Am Using Bright Data: The Power of Using Bright Data 1. Versatility and Ease of Use 1. Versatility and Ease of Use Bright Data shines with its user-friendly approach. To start scraping vast amounts of data, all you need is a scraping browser — an automated browser that allows you to interact with websites just like a human user. It efficiently handles challenges such as CAPTCHAs, fingerprints, and retries while mimicking the behavior of a regular user. Compatible with popular automation tools like Puppeteer and Playwright and programming languages like Python and Node.js, the scraping browser makes data collection seamless and efficient. 2. Ready-to-Use Data Sets 2. Ready-to-Use Data Sets If you ever need ready-to-use data, Bright Data’s data sets tool provides pre-collected and structured data from various domains, including popular platforms like LinkedIn, Amazon, Crunchbase, Indeed, and Twitter. Regularly updated, these comprehensive data sets offer you a treasure trove of information at your fingertips. Practical Examples of What I Have Used Bright Data for 1. E-Commerce: Monitoring Competitor Prices and Enriching Product Catalogs 1. E-Commerce: Monitoring Competitor Prices and Enriching Product Catalogs In the world of e-commerce, web data plays a crucial role in monitoring competitor prices, ensuring product availability, and understanding customer reviews. For instance, a global Beauty and Personal Care Marketplace efficiently uses web data to check competitor prices in real-time, enabling them to adjust pricing strategies and optimize promotions on the fly, enhancing their market competitiveness. 2. Social Media: Analyzing Consumer Sentiment and Trends 2. Social Media: Analyzing Consumer Sentiment and Trends Social media platforms offer a gold mine of user-generated content, providing valuable insights into consumer behavior, trends, and sentiment. A global digital marketing agency effectively analyzes consumer sentiment towards their client’s brands using web data from various social media platforms. This deeper understanding empowers them to refine marketing strategies and achieve better results. In Conclusion: The Bright Future of Data Collection As I conclude with Bright Data's powerful web data collection solutions, one thing becomes very clear; data scraping is a game-changer in today’s digital landscape. Whether you are a business owner, entrepreneur, or data professional, harnessing the power of web data can unlock countless opportunities for growth and success.

The rapid growth of AI is transforming many areas of life, including education, with ChatGPT at the forefront of this change. Recently, OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, introduced ChatGPT Edu—a tailored version of its flagship AI tool built for universities to “responsibly” deploy AI to students, faculty, researchers, and campus operations. Riding on the success of its ChatGPT Edu in Universities like the University of Oxford, Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania(opens in a new window), University of Texas at Austin, Arizona State University(opens in a new window), and Columbia University in the City of New York, ChatGPT edu comes with a lot of promise— one that can help universities integrate AI into every aspect concerning students and faculties. But as always, with every ease comes hardship, and ChatGPT Edu too can be a double-edged sword. But we’ll discuss the downsides a little later. Let’s lead with how ChatGPT Edu can be constructive for higher educational institutions, their students, and faculties. Beginning with the fact that ChatGPT leverages AI, it shouldn’t be a debate that its Edu version can provide faculty members and students with a satisfying level of personalization. By tailoring content and study material as per every student’s need, it can be the silver bullet that universities desperately need. With faculties and mentors grappling with the grueling task of managing the rising number of students in a class, personalization through AI can bring tremendous results for them. The fact that it can identify knowledge gaps and adapt to different learning styles symbolizes hope for the future of academia. AI has always attracted keen minds and ChatGPT Edu, given its inherent character to integrate AI with interactive activities, can make learning more engaging and interactive. Students who are disengaged from routine lectures and other pedagogical processes may find AI’s use in education to be an attractive prospect. This can help keep the students more engaged– a challenge that is commonly observed among students. They are highly disoriented, given the fact that a vast majority of higher educational institutions are still sticking to rote learning practices. Enter ChatGPT Edu, by engaging students in simulated discussions, role-playing scenarios, and critical thinking skills, it can help them stay focused and better oriented, and help suitably streamline their academic priorities. For students with learning disabilities, ChatGPT Edu can be the holy grail. It can offer personalized feedback in various formats, including audio or visual aids, catering to different learning preferences. ChatGPT Edu can also help universities stay clear of the language barriers that often arise when students and faculties of one country inhabit the other. Offering real-time language translation and support can allow students to participate more actively in classroom discussions and access course materials in their preferred language. What’s beyond this is it can also assist in personalized pronunciation practice and real-time feedback, fostering greater confidence and fluency for non-native speakers. The faculty members, moreover, can use the translation feature to ensure all students understand the course material the way they want them to. They can translate lectures, presentations, and handouts, allowing students to follow along and engage more effectively by harnessing the tool properly. We’ll have to see how ChatGPT’s Edu version performs once it is widely circulated in the public domain. For students from diverse backgrounds who face difficulty understanding concepts and things, it can be a big breather as it can translate complex concepts and methods into simpler language. Being able to offer text-to-speech conversion, and the capability to generate visual aids and summaries will surely be a cherry on the cake for both students and faculties alike. Lastly, what seems to be interesting from the faculty’s perspective is that it can offer continued assistance to faculty research. It can certainly help analyze vast amounts of data, generate research hypotheses, and streamline literature reviews, freeing up valuable time for more focused research endeavors. AI in education isn’t a capricious idea anymore. The downsides One of the biggest concerns arising out of the use of AI in educational institutions is there is a chance of students getting too reliant on it for everything. This can have serious repercussions. They can lose touch with realistic teaching pedagogy and become more AI-dependent thereby stepping into that alarming “virtual” zone of learning, where anything without the aid of AI is less understood or best, misunderstood. An equally concerning aspect is the fact it can severely hinder critical thinking and problem-solving skills for a lot of the students. Secondly, it’s believed AI is only as good as the data it's trained on. If that data is biased or fed with wrong inputs, ChatGPT Edu could perpetuate stereotypes or deliver inaccurate information—something which can lead the learner astray, thereby inhibiting the whole learning experience and marring the learning curve. Lastly, overuse of this technology could blur the lines between original and duplicate content (read plagiarism). Rightly so! Plagiarism has been a serious concern for academic institutions, as cases of AI-blended learning have risen over the years. And these concerns of AI and plagiarism are legitly myriad. We’ll have to see how this tailor-made ChatGPT tool can minimize incidents of students and learners plagiarizing content in universities. Summing Up Education offers incredible potential for the application of AI technologies. With the introduction of ChatGPT Edu and its subsequent integration into educational institutions across all research and learning touchpoints, it seems the educational landscape may be in for some unanticipated and enormous change. Nevertheless, learning the tricks of AI-based learning practices and dupery that could be possibly built around it by mala fide learners, can certainly be a solution and shouldn’t be taken for granted. While on one hand, adopting regular audits and data curation practices can help minimize bias and misinformation, on the other, universities can design courses that blend ChatGPT Edu for personalized learning while prioritizing interactive activities and discussions that are likely to produce the maximum output while remaining efficient. With the integration of this innovative tool, learning practices bear a likelihood of showing improved outcomes but it also brings with itself a multitude of vulnerabilities and risks. It just remains to be seen if post its integration with universities on a massive scale, whether it will endanger institutions and recede learning to a dangerous low or will it push towards an academic environment that appears technologically and educationally utopian.
