COLLECTING DATA FROM TWITTER

▪ Twitter allow access to parts of Twitter services via API to

allow people to build software that integrates with

•2.we can store tweets in text file

format(.txt)
DATA PREPROCESSING :
• Data preprocessing is a data mining technique which is used to transform the
raw data in a useful and efficient format.
• NLTK (Natural Language Tool Kit) package in Python  contains  functions to make
machines understand human language and reply it with appropriate responses.
