Overview
This pipeline converts multi-platform text into structured sentiment, topic, and monitoring-ready signals. It's built as a pipeline so messy, inconsistent text becomes something teams can actually track over time.
Problem
Useful signal is buried in high-volume, noisy text spread across very different platforms and formats. Reading it by hand doesn't scale, and one-off scripts don't produce anything you can monitor. The aim was a repeatable path from raw text to structured signals.
Pipeline workflow
- Source text — public or sanitized multi-platform content
- Ingestion into a common store
- Cleaning and normalization into a shared shape
- Sentiment and topic processing
- Structured output
- Monitoring via a dashboard or API
Text processing and modelling
Normalisation comes before any modelling, so downstream steps see a consistent shape regardless of source.
- Tokenisation and text cleaning
- Sentiment classification
- Topic extraction
- Transformer-based models where they earn their keep
Data outputs
Results are written to a structured form rather than printed once, so the signal can be tracked.
- Per-item sentiment and topic labels
- Aggregations ready for monitoring
- Outputs suitable for a dashboard or API
Technical decisions
- Normalise before modelling, so sources stay comparable
- Write structured outputs, not one-off reports
- Keep ingestion and processing as separate stages
- Work from public or sanitized text, not private platform data
Limitations
- Platform API and rate limits constrain ingestion
- Slang and local context affect sentiment accuracy
- Models can misread sarcasm and irony
- Public text is noisy and can be biased
- Monitoring outputs still need human interpretation
What it demonstrates
- Designing a multi-stage data/NLP pipeline

Next steps
- Add evaluation on a labelled sample
- Support additional sources within their terms of use
- Add a sanitized monitoring dashboard
- Document the schema of the structured outputs
