Meme Generator Natural Language Processing and Sentiment Analysis

Built a lightweight meme sentiment explorer with collaborator Liz Seeley to practice multilingual NLP and dashboarding. The project ingests 57,000+ meme instances across 82 languages, scores sentiment with lexicons, and lets you slice the results in Tableau without taking itself too seriously.

What I built

• MySQL schema and Python ETL that standardize meme text from the Library of Congress collection.
• Language detection and sentiment scoring with multilingual lexicons covering 80+ languages.
• Tableau dashboard to filter by language, meme base image, and sentiment trends.

Notes

• Early grad-school experiment—kept simple but reproducible in notebooks.
• Repo and docs: GitHub
