Abstract

This project presents the development and evaluation of a Sentiment Analysis for Product Rating System designed to augment traditional numerical rating systems by providing contextual insights from textual reviews. Current product rating mechanisms often lack the granularity to explain why a particular rating was given, leading to ambiguous interpretations and limiting actionable feedback for businesses. To address this, The system leverages advanced Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques to automatically classify the sentiment of product reviews.The methodology involved designing a modular architecture encompassing a data ingestion layer, a text preprocessing module, and a core sentiment classification engine utilizing a fine-tuned BERT model. Rigorous system testing, conducted on a diverse dataset of 50,000 product reviews, demonstrated the system's effectiveness.
