Overview of practical sentiment work using NLTK movie reviews corpus for a Naive Bayes baseline that reaches about 72% accuracy, moving to distributed embeddings like Word2Vec/GloVe vectors and CNNs in TensorFlow for higher scores but less interpretability. Challenges are sarcasm, SMS shorthand and annotator disagreement (human agreement often ≤80%). Applications include topic/aspect extraction and healthcare: a depression-detection pipeline reports ~81% depression detection and is used to flag cases for further intervention.
