[Feature Request] Rate My Professor Review Summary Integration #496
Description
Overview
We want to integrate information from RateMyProfessor reviews without needing to include entire reviews.
This is a parent issue for this integration.
Proposal
Use sentiment analysis to pull out information about how users felt about professors from their review text.
The linked feature/professor-sentiment branch includes a pipeline for a separate review sentiment analysis page, which pulls reviews, applies a sentiment analysis model, and
Current sentiment analysis model is rule-based and handles positive and negative words, negation, and intensifiers.
We would like to update this to use a custom ML model trained on review data that handles all of this and more complexity.
Sub-issues will be created for different tasks in this longer-term project as we progress
Supplementary Information
Documentation from Shriram for the sentiment analysis page is attached:
