Project Description
This project investigates the intricate role of language in shaping environmental policy and its impact on public discourse, utilizing advanced neural network models and data analytics methodologies. By analyzing pivotal environmental documents such as the Paris Agreement, the Green New Deal, and international treaties, the project reveals how specific linguistic patterns influence policy adoption and public perception. A significant portion of the project involved extracting large-scale textual data from public forums like Reddit, employing statistical and machine learning methods to explore correlations between policy language and public sentiment.
​
Key business and economic objectives centered around understanding how these policies inform global financial markets, sustainable development strategies, and corporate investments. The analysis provided insights into how policies drive economic decisions in key areas such as carbon emissions, renewable energy investments, and sustainable resource management. By dissecting thematic structures within environmental texts, the project highlights the economic implications of policies and their influence on investor behavior, market trends, and global climate initiatives.
Project Skills
Neural Networks and Machine Learning: Utilized neural networks to classify public sentiment and predict policy impact. Employed Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA), k-means clustering, and Naive Bayes classifiers to uncover thematic trends in environmental policy.
​
Statistical Analysis: Applied regression analysis, sentiment analysis, and topic modeling techniques to analyze large-scale text data from environmental documents and public discussions. This statistical approach facilitated the identification of critical policy terms and their economic significance.
​
Natural Language Processing (NLP): Leveraged advanced NLP techniques, including word tokenization, stemming, and document-term matrix creation, to process and analyze policy documents and online discussions. Key tools included R libraries such as quanteda, tidytext, and topicmodels.
​
Data Analytics: Extracted and cleaned data using web scraping methods from platforms like Reddit via APIs, integrating public sentiment data into a comprehensive analysis of policy impact. Utilized R and Python for data cleaning, transformation, and visualization.
​
Business and Economic Insights: Analyzed how environmental policies shape market trends, focusing on carbon taxation, renewable energy policies, and investment strategies in green industries. Evaluated economic outcomes from these policies, including cost-benefit analysis and long-term economic impacts.
Project Demostrates
Through this project, I demonstrated a unique ability to bridge the gap between environmental policy and economic decision-making. My deep understanding of both policy language and economic drivers allowed me to identify key terms influencing market behavior, offering valuable insights for policymakers and investors alike. By employing neural networks and machine learning techniques, I showcased my proficiency in predictive modeling, which enabled a forward-looking analysis of policy impacts on the market.
Central to this success was my proficiency in statistical analysis, including clustering, regression, and natural language processing (NLP). These skills were crucial in uncovering correlations between the language used in environmental policies and corresponding market reactions. This project stands as a testament to my ability to leverage data science tools to provide actionable insights in both policy and business contexts.
Ultimately, this project highlights the significant role that clear, data-driven communication plays in aligning environmental policy with market dynamics. It underscores my capacity to integrate complex analytical tools into business strategy and policy evaluation, demonstrating my effectiveness in driving strategic insights and informed decision-making.
