Treatment Feedback

Description

The project was about identifying topics from patients' comments with two different diseases (Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis) with different treatments. The team extracted topics for phrases (incl. classifying the sentiment), assigned markers to topics, and ran an analysis of treatment changes.

Setup

The project was tested on 3.10 <= Python <= 3.11.

Create a virtual environment:

python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate

To install requirements:

pip install -r requirements.txt
python -m spacy download en_core_web_md

It is assumed that the user has the raw data stored in a folder called data which is located in the root.

Run Pipeline

To run the main pipeline execute the following command in your terminal:

python main.py

Additionally the treatment evolution and the generation of word cloud data can be run seperately.
