Then it demonstrates the basics of using a sentiment dictionary to analyze sentences. It discusses challenges with real texts, like handling punctuation and splitting into sentences. NLTK tools for tokenization, sentence splitting, and counting positive and negative words are presented. Finally, it briefly introduces machine learning approaches to sentiment analysis using training data to build a model that can predict sentiment for new texts.
