🔍 What is Sentiment Analysis? Sentiment analysis is a transformative field at the intersection of machine learning, natural language processing (NLP), computational linguistics, and affective computing. It's the art of understanding the emotional tone behind a body of text. From gauging consumer sentiment to detecting patient feedback, this skill is invaluable in various sectors like marketing, customer service, healthcare, and beyond.

🧠 Why LSTM? Traditional recurrent neural networks (RNNs) often fall short when it comes to capturing the complex patterns of language over longer stretches of text. Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks are designed precisely to address this limitation, allowing us to build models that remember information for long periods and understand the context better.
