Running the N-gram Viewer

Navigate to the Web folder to launch the Flask application (python ngram.py).

In addition to Flask, this project requires nltk. After installing nltk, make sure to download the vader_lexicon.txt data file. The download GUI is available via:

import nltk
nltk.download()

In the GUI, navigate to the "All Packages" tab and search for the identifier "vader_lexicon". Confirm data download by running:

from nltk.sentiment.vader import SentimentIntensityAnalyzer
sid = SentimentIntensityAnalyzer()

Notes

The "IW Presentation" folder contains a slide deck explaining the project.

My final research paper for this project can be found here.
