Beginners should undertake data science projects as they provide practical experience and help in the application of theoretical concepts learned in courses, building a portfolio and enhancing skills. This allows them to gain confidence and stand out in the competitive job market.
If you’re considering a data science dissertation project or simply want to showcase proficiency in the field by conducting independent research and applying advanced data analysis techniques, the following project ideas may prove useful.
Sentiment analysis of product reviews
This involves analyzing a data set and creating visualizations to better understand the data. For instance, a project idea may be to examine user evaluations of products on Amazon using natural language processing (NLP) methods to ascertain the general mood toward such things. To accomplish this, a sizable collection of product reviews from Amazon can be gathered by using web scraping methods or an Amazon product API.
One of my favorite datasets on Kaggle:
Amazon Reviews
Ideas for your project:
• Calculate basic product analytics
• Use clustering algorithms to group products
• Endless NLP use cases: sentiment analysis, keyword extraction, summarization

Once the data has been gathered, it can be preprocessed by having stop words, punctuation and other noise removed. The polarity of the review, or whether the sentiment indicated in it is favorable, negative or neutral, can then be determined by applying a sentiment analysis algorithm to the preprocessed language. In order to comprehend the general opinion of the product, the results might be represented using graphs or other data visualization tools.
Predicting house prices
This project involves building a machine learning model to predict house prices based on various factors such as location, square footage, and the number of bedrooms.
Using a machine learning model that uses housing market data, such as location, the number of bedrooms and…
