Yelp Business Rating Predictions

In this project, I applied machine learning alrorithms to predict Yelp business ratings using natural language processing (NLP). For those unfamiliar, this will be a great tutorial on some methods for handling unstructured data, which makes up the vast majority of data.

In contrast with the other Yelp modeling, we will be applying "structure" to the unstructured data (text) by transforming it into vectorized formats to be used by fitting algorithms. While we did some of this using DictVectorizer(), we will have many more features. We will need to determine the best way these can be combined to yield accurate prdictions.
