nytimes Comment Entity sentiMent: An application built by Streamlit. This tool scraps the comments written on the comment section of a given nytimes article provided by the user. Then it uses spaCy to perform Named Entity Recognition: recognition of entities such as persons, locations, etc. In particular it takes advantage of a pretrained statistical model of the English language en_core_web_sm.
After finding the named entities, it uses a rule-based sentiment analyzer called vaderSentiment to assess the distribution of sentiment polarity associated with the named entities mentioned in the comments.
You can run the app local by simply running this command:
streamlit run app.py
