2DATA ANALYTICS USING WATSON ANALYTICS
Introduction
In the present digital era, big data analytics became a necessity for the business
organizations. Use of the big data analytics can help the organizations to find out different
hidden patterns in the collected data from the different business process as well as from the
clients of the organizations. The companies can exploit available market opportunities in
order realize competitive advantage over competitor companies.
Different sections of this report contributes to the discussion about the different
insights using the Watson analytics tool, recommendations for the manager of the ABC
online multimedia company and research brief for the different dashboards.
Background information
This data analytics project is carried out in order to analyse and find out the hidden
insights from the selected dataset with some guided question sets as well as advanced
insights.
The selected dataset which is downloaded from the URL
https://data.world/iamdilan/youtube-dataset contains 18 columns namely video_id (id of the
uploaded video), category_id, publish_date, , title, channel_title that uploaded the video,
time_frame of the video, trending_date, Day of the _week of the published video, country in
which the , tags used for the video, number of views for the video, likes, dislikes count for the
video, count of comments for the uploaded video on the different YouTube channel.

3DATA ANALYTICS USING WATSON ANALYTICS
Assumptions

America.”
Answer 17
The highest percentage of dislikes is recorded against the video title “So Sorry”

12DATA ANALYTICS USING WATSON ANALYTICS
Answer 18
Friday is the day on which the most number of videos were uploaded on YouTube.
Answer 19
Least number of videos were uploaded on Saturday.

13DATA ANALYTICS USING WATSON ANALYTICS
Answer 20
The below dashboard shows the monthly breakdown of the uploaded videos.
From the above dashboard, it can be stated that there was significant increase in the rate
of uploaded videos from the month November, 2017. Again this rate of upload of videos gets
decreased by 50% in the month of May, 2018.
Advanced Insights
Insight 1

14DATA ANALYTICS USING WATSON ANALYTICS
In this advanced insight the day on which users mostly commented on the different
videos on the YouTube platform.
From the above dashboard it can be stated that, the users commented on the videos
mostly on the Fridays. Furthermore, least number of comments are recorded on the
Saturdays.
Insight 2
In this dashboard, the total number of comments are compared for each country.

15DATA ANALYTICS USING WATSON ANALYTICS
From the above dashboard, it is evident that most number of comments are recorded
from the country GB. Second highest number of the comments are recorded from US. Lowest
number of comments are recorded from the Country France.
Insight 3
This dashboard is designed in order to find out the top 10 channels that were disliked by the
viewers.
The top 10 disliked video channels are YouTube Spotlight, LucasLucco, Logan Paul Vlogs,
ChildishGambinoVEVO, Daily Caller, Bad Bunny, ShakiraVEVO, Salman Khan Films and
two other channels.
Insight 4
In this dashboard, the tag with the most disliked video tags are discovered in order to manage
the content on the platform.

16DATA ANALYTICS USING WATSON ANALYTICS
The most disliked tag is“BIGHIT|"빅히트""|""방탄소ë…
„단""|""BTS""|""BANGTAN""|""방탄""".” For the next two most disliked video tags are
“Logan Paul Vlogs” and “Rewind, Rewind 2017.”
Insight 5
In the following dashboard the relation between the dislikes and removed videos are
analysed in order to find out that where ever the uploaded video was removed and error
occurred due to the dislike by the viewers.

17DATA ANALYTICS USING WATSON ANALYTICS
The above dash board shows that for the maximum number of videos with the
dislikes are removed from the channels that are present in the GB and the second highest
number of videos were removed from Canada.
Research
While designing the dashboard on IBM Watson, it is found that even though the
number of channels in the country GB is lesser compared to other three countries but the
viewership from this country is more than the countries FRANCE and CANADA.
In addition to that, with the maximum views the number of comments for the videos
are also high from other countries.

18DATA ANALYTICS USING WATSON ANALYTICS
This dash board shows the top three countries are GB, US and CANADA. In the dashboards
we have used the pie charts as this kind of visual representations can help in displaying
comparative proportions of numerous sections available in the dataset. In addition to that,
size of the complete pie is made to proportional of the total data or attributes available, can
help in summarizing the large amount of data visually. At the end it can be stated that pie
chart is visually simpler to understand compared to other graphs.
Recommendations for Content Manager
 For the country GB it is evident from the dashboards that it has huge increase
in the viewership from the December, 2017 and has been increasing through
the year 2018. Compared to this other three countries US, FRANCE, CANDA
has a slow and steady growth in the number of views of the videos.
Therefore, it is suggested to encourage the channels to upload videos of
concerned interest more frequently.
 Dislikes for the videos leads to the removal of the videos from the platform
therefore it is suggested to minimize the dislikes by restricting the type and
tags of videos that are not of the interest of the users. Hence, it is suggested to
remove the contents which are disliked by the viewers.

19DATA ANALYTICS USING WATSON ANALYTICS
 Channels count from the country GB must be increased as the views are
increasing exponentially from this country in order to maintain this trend.
 The growth rate for FRANCE, GB and US is slow compared to the GB, thus
it is suggested to promote the liked videos to improve the rate of growth.
Cover letter
To
The Manager
ABC online Multimedia Company
Respected Sir,
This letter is intended to brief the insights available from Watson
Analytics tool on the selected YouTube dataset. The dataset conations 13 years of data
(2006 to 2018) and viewers four countries GB, FRANCE, US, and CANADA.
In the analysis it is found that most liked category was 10 which is Music related
videos. Furthermore, most liked video was with the title “Childish Gambino - This Is
America (Official Video)” and the most disliked video was “So sorry” titled video.
Again when considering the year 2018, in the month of may rate of uploaded of
videos gets decreased by 50% compared to the previous month.
From the analysis of the dataset it can be recommended that, in order to increase the
number of channels in the country GB as the viewership is increasing very rapidly and hence

20DATA ANALYTICS USING WATSON ANALYTICS
can be very helpful in improving the business. Furthermore, quality of contents related to
vlogs must be managed related to other categories.
Finally, we would like to request you to please go through recommendations as well
as insights can in order to improve the business of the organization.
Conclusion
With its natural language processing ability Watson can find out the implicit insights
and patterns in the dataset to get started with the analytics. Along with the multiple
advantages mentioned above there are certain limitations of this tool we found while working
on this tool. Some of them are this tool is not able to process structured data directly from the
source. In addition to that it cannot handle increasing rate of data with the limited resources
provided with it.
Reflection
The Watson analytics is helpful in leveraging the benefits of advanced analytics
without the complexity of writing the extensive lines of codes in a programing language.
After uploading the data, we can select from available starting points in order to create own
visualisations from the data. After selecting one of the starting points we can create
discoveries which is fundamentally collection of multiple visualisations. This visualization
can be modified while adding numerous other data attributes and measures available for the
selected dataset. In order to make the changes elements are available in the data tray along
the bottom of the screen.
