Implementation includes:

TextBlob is a Python library for processing textual data. It provides a simple API for diving into common natural language processing (NLP) tasks such as part-of-speech tagging, noun phrase extraction, sentiment analysis, classification, translation, and more.

Google Cloud Machine Learning (CML) is an effort to simplify and reduce time and cost of building a data science tech infrastructure for data science projects. It can plug into Google's other storage, querying, and data-handling products to generate machine learning models. Among the data sources is Google Cloud Dataproc - a managed Hadoop and Spark platform that is now in general availability.
