Online reviews and ratings have become standard reference points for products and services, that we avail in our everyday lives.


However, these reviews are widely subjective, depending on individual customer experience(s). Most online reviews have two components: a specific and objective star/rating system and the more elaborate comment section which lets past customers detail the the pros and cons of the product and/or services they availed.


In this Data Science challenge, you have to Use IBM Watson to Predict Customer Reviews attempts to correlate the comments left by customers with the review scores for a given seller and/or service provider. You will be required to develop a sentiment analysis/evaluation for a service that allows individuals to rent part of their property for short-term, temporary residence by visitors.
