文摘Applied linguistics is an interdisciplinary domain which identifies,investigates,and offers solutions to language-related real-life problems.The new coronavirus disease,otherwise known as Coronavirus disease(COVID-19),has severely affected the everyday life of people all over the world.Specifically,since there is insufficient access to vaccines and no straight or reliable treatment for coronavirus infection,the country has initiated the appropriate preventive measures(like lockdown,physical separation,and masking)for combating this extremely transmittable disease.So,individuals spent more time on online social media platforms(i.e.,Twitter,Facebook,Instagram,LinkedIn,and Reddit)and expressed their thoughts and feelings about coronavirus infection.Twitter has become one of the popular social media platforms and allows anyone to post tweets.This study proposes a sine cosine optimization with bidirectional gated recurrent unit-based senti-ment analysis(SCOBGRU-SA)on COVID-19 tweets.The SCOBGRU-SA technique aimed to detect and classify the various sentiments in Twitter data during the COVID-19 pandemic.The SCOBGRU-SA technique follows data pre-processing and the Fast-Text word embedding process to accomplish this.Moreover,the BGRU model is utilized to recognise and classify sen-timents present in the tweets.Furthermore,the SCO algorithm is exploited for tuning the BGRU method’s hyperparameter,which helps attain improved classification performance.The experimental validation of the SCOBGRU-SA technique takes place using a benchmark dataset,and the results signify its promising performance compared to other DL models.
文摘The public is increasingly using social media platforms such as Twitter and Facebook to express their views on a variety of topics.As a result,social media has emerged as the most effective and largest open source for obtaining public opinion.Single node computational methods are inefficient for sentiment analysis on such large datasets.Supercomputers or parallel or distributed proces-sing are two options for dealing with such large amounts of data.Most parallel programming frameworks,such as MPI(Message Processing Interface),are dif-ficult to use and scale in environments where supercomputers are expensive.Using the Apache Spark Parallel Model,this proposed work presents a scalable system for sentiment analysis on Twitter.A Spark-based Naive Bayes training technique is suggested for this purpose;unlike prior research,this algorithm does not need any disk access.Millions of tweets have been classified using the trained model.Experiments with various-sized clusters reveal that the suggested strategy is extremely scalable and cost-effective for larger data sets.It is nearly 12 times quicker than the Map Reduce-based model and nearly 21 times faster than the Naive Bayes Classifier in Apache Mahout.To evaluate the framework’s scalabil-ity,we gathered a large training corpus from Twitter.The accuracy of the classi-fier trained with this new dataset was more than 80%.

文摘Recently,multimodal sentiment analysis has increasingly attracted attention with the popularity of complementary data streams,which has great potential to surpass unimodal sentiment analysis.One challenge of multimodal sentiment analysis is how to design an efficient multimodal feature fusion strategy.Unfortunately,existing work always considers feature-level fusion or decision-level fusion,and few research works focus on hybrid fusion strategies that contain feature-level fusion and decision-level fusion.To improve the performance of multimodal sentiment analysis,we present a novel multimodal sentiment analysis model using BiGRU and attention-based hybrid fusion strategy(BAHFS).Firstly,we apply BiGRU to learn the unimodal features of text,audio and video.Then we fuse the unimodal features into bimodal features using the bimodal attention fusion module.Next,BAHFS feeds the unimodal features and bimodal features into the trimodal attention fusion module and the trimodal concatenation fusion module simultaneously to get two sets of trimodal features.Finally,BAHFS makes a classification with the two sets of trimodal features respectively and gets the final analysis results with decision-level fusion.Based on the CMU-MOSI and CMU-MOSEI datasets,extensive experiments have been carried out to verify BAHFS’s superiority.

文摘Purpose:Nowadays,public opinions during public emergencies involve not only textual contents but also contain images.However,the existing works mainly focus on textual contents and they do not provide a satisfactory accuracy of sentiment analysis,lacking the combination of multimodal contents.In this paper,we propose to combine texts and images generated in the social media to perform sentiment analysis.Design/methodology/approach:We propose a Deep Multimodal Fusion Model(DMFM),which combines textual and visual sentiment analysis.We first train word2vec model on a large-scale public emergency corpus to obtain semantic-rich word vectors as the input of textual sentiment analysis.BiLSTM is employed to generate encoded textual embeddings.To fully excavate visual information from images,a modified pretrained VGG16-based sentiment analysis network is used with the best-performed fine-tuning strategy.A multimodal fusion method is implemented to fuse textual and visual embeddings completely,producing predicted labels.Findings:We performed extensive experiments on Weibo and Twitter public emergency datasets,to evaluate the performance of our proposed model.Experimental results demonstrate that the DMFM provides higher accuracy compared with baseline models.The introduction of images can boost the performance of sentiment analysis during public emergencies.Research limitations:In the future,we will test our model in a wider dataset.We will also consider a better way to learn the multimodal fusion information.Practical implications:We build an efficient multimodal sentiment analysis model for the social media contents during public emergencies.Originality/value:We consider the images posted by online users during public emergencies on social platforms.The proposed method can present a novel scope for sentiment analysis during public emergencies and provide the decision support for the government when formulating policies in public emergencies.

文摘The COVID-19 pandemic has spread globally,resulting in financialinstability in many countries and reductions in the per capita grossdomestic product.Sentiment analysis is a cost-effective method for acquiringsentiments based on household income loss,as expressed on social media.However,limited research has been conducted in this domain using theLexDeep approach.This study aimed to explore social trend analytics usingLexDeep,which is a hybrid sentiment analysis technique,on Twitter to capturethe risk of household income loss during the COVID-19 pandemic.First,tweet data were collected using Twint with relevant keywords before(9 March2019 to 17 March 2020)and during(18 March 2020 to 21 August 2021)thepandemic.Subsequently,the tweets were annotated using VADER(lexiconbased)and fed into deep learning classifiers,and experiments were conductedusing several embeddings,namely simple embedding,Global Vectors,andWord2Vec,to classify the sentiments expressed in the tweets.The performanceof each LexDeep model was evaluated and compared with that of a supportvector machine(SVM).Finally,the unemployment rates before and duringCOVID-19 were analysed to gain insights into the differences in unemploymentpercentages through social media input and analysis.The resultsdemonstrated that all LexDeep models with simple embedding outperformedthe SVM.This confirmed the superiority of the proposed LexDeep modelover a classical machine learning classifier in performing sentiment analysistasks for domain-specific sentiments.In terms of the risk of income loss,the unemployment issue is highly politicised on both the regional and globalscales;thus,if a country cannot combat this issue,the global economy will alsobe affected.Future research should develop a utility maximisation algorithmfor household welfare evaluation,given the percentage risk of income lossowing to COVID-19.

文摘Predicting election outcomes is a crucial undertaking,and various methods are employed for this purpose,such as traditional opinion polling,and social media analysis.However,traditional polling approaches often struggle to capture the intricate nuances of voter sentiment at local levels,resulting in a limited depth of analysis and understanding.In light of this challenge,this study focuses on predicting elections at the state/regional level along with the country level,intending to offer a comprehensive analysis and deeper insights into the electoral process.To achieve this,the study introduces the Location-Based Election Prediction Model(LEPM),which utilizes social media data,specifically Twitter,and integrates location-aware sentiment analysis techniques at both the state/region and country levels.LEPM predicts the support and opposing strength of each political party/candidate.To determine the location of users/voters who have not disclosed their location information in tweets,the model utilizes a Voter Location Detection(VotLocaDetect)approach,which leverages recent tweets/posts.The sentiment analysis techniques employed in this study include rule-based sentiment analysis,Valence Aware Dictionary and Sentiment Reasoner(VADER)as well as transformers-based sentiment analysis such as Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers(BERT),BERTweet,and Election based BERT(ElecBERT).This study uses the 2020 United States(US)Presidential Election as a case study.By applying the LEPM model to the election,the study demonstrates its ability to accurately predict outcomes in forty-one states,achieving an 0.84 accuracy rate at the state level.Moreover,at the country level,the LEPM model outperforms traditional polling results.With a low Mean Absolute Error(MAE)of 0.87,the model exhibits more precise predictions and serves as a successful alternative to conventional polls and other methodologies.Leveraging the extensive social media data,the LEPM model provides nuanced insights into voter behavior,enabling policymakers to make informed decisions and facilitating in-depth analyses of elections.The study emphasizes the importance of using social media data for reliable election prediction and offers implications for enhancing prediction accuracy and understanding voter sentiment and behavior.
文摘Sentiment Analysis deals with consumer reviews available on blogs,discussion forums,E-commerce websites,andApp Store.These online reviews about products are also becoming essential for consumers and companies as well.Consumers rely on these reviews to make their decisions about products and companies are also very interested in these reviews to judge their products and services.These reviews are also a very precious source of information for requirement engineers.But companies and consumers are not very satisfied with the overall sentiment;they like fine-grained knowledge about consumer reviews.Owing to this,many researchers have developed approaches for aspect-based sentiment analysis.Most existing approaches concentrate on explicit aspects to analyze the sentiment,and only a few studies rely on capturing implicit aspects.This paper proposes a Keywords-Based Aspect Extraction method,which captures both explicit and implicit aspects.It also captures opinion words and classifies the sentiment about each aspect.We applied semantic similarity-basedWordNet and SentiWordNet lexicon to improve aspect extraction.We used different collections of customer reviews for experiment purposes,consisting of eight datasets over seven domains.We compared our approach with other state-of-the-art approaches,including Rule Selection using Greedy Algorithm(RSG),Conditional Random Fields(CRF),Rule-based Extraction(RubE),and Double Propagation(DP).Our results have shown better performance than all of these approaches.

文摘Social media,like Twitter,is a data repository,and people exchange views on global issues like the COVID-19 pandemic.Social media has been shown to influence the low acceptance of vaccines.This work aims to identify public sentiments concerning the COVID-19 vaccines and better understand the individual’s sensitivities and feelings that lead to achievement.This work proposes a method to analyze the opinion of an individual’s tweet about the COVID-19 vaccines.This paper introduces a sigmoidal particle swarm optimization(SPSO)algorithm.First,the performance of SPSO is measured on a set of 12 benchmark problems,and later it is deployed for selecting optimal text features and categorizing sentiment.The proposed method uses TextBlob and VADER for sentiment analysis,CountVectorizer,and term frequency-inverse document frequency(TF-IDF)vectorizer for feature extraction,followed by SPSO-based feature selection.The Covid-19 vaccination tweets dataset was created and used for training,validating,and testing.The proposed approach outperformed considered algorithms in terms of accuracy.Additionally,we augmented the newly created dataset to make it balanced to increase performance.A classical support vector machine(SVM)gives better accuracy for the augmented dataset without a feature selection algorithm.It shows that augmentation improves the overall accuracy of tweet analysis.After the augmentation performance of PSO and SPSO is improved by almost 7%and 5%,respectively,it is observed that simple SVMwith 10-fold cross-validation significantly improved compared to the primary dataset.
文摘Sentiment analysis in Chinese classical poetry has become a prominent topic in historical and cultural tracing,ancient literature research,etc.However,the existing research on sentiment analysis is relatively small.It does not effectively solve the problems such as the weak feature extraction ability of poetry text,which leads to the low performance of the model on sentiment analysis for Chinese classical poetry.In this research,we offer the SA-Model,a poetic sentiment analysis model.SA-Model firstly extracts text vector information and fuses it through Bidirectional encoder representation from transformers-Whole word masking-extension(BERT-wwmext)and Enhanced representation through knowledge integration(ERNIE)to enrich text vector information;Secondly,it incorporates numerous encoders to remove text features at multiple levels,thereby increasing text feature information,improving text semantics accuracy,and enhancing the model’s learning and generalization capabilities;finally,multi-feature fusion poetry sentiment analysis model is constructed.The feasibility and accuracy of the model are validated through the ancient poetry sentiment corpus.Compared with other baseline models,the experimental findings indicate that SA-Model may increase the accuracy of text semantics and hence improve the capability of poetry sentiment analysis.

文摘Sentiment Analysis(SA)is often referred to as opinion mining.It is defined as the extraction,identification,or characterization of the sentiment from text.Generally,the sentiment of a textual document is classified into binary classes i.e.,positive and negative.However,fine-grained classification provides a better insight into the sentiments.The downside is that fine-grained classification is more challenging as compared to binary.On the contrary,performance deteriorates significantly in the case of multi-class classification.In this study,pre-processing techniques and machine learning models for the multi-class classification of sentiments were explored.To augment the performance,a multi-layer classification model has been proposed.Owing to similitude with social media text,the movie reviews dataset has been used for the implementation.Supervised machine learning models namely Decision Tree,Support Vector Machine,and Naive Bayes models have been implemented for the task of sentiment classification.We have compared the models of single-layer architecture with multi-tier model.The results of Multi-tier model have slight improvement over the single-layer architecture.Moreover,multi-tier models have better recall which allow our proposed model to learn more context.We have discussed certain shortcomings of the model that will help researchers to design multi-tier models with more contextual information.
文摘Globally,educational institutions have reported a dramatic shift to online learning in an effort to contain the COVID-19 pandemic.The fundamental concern has been the continuance of education.As a result,several novel solutions have been developed to address technical and pedagogical issues.However,these were not the only difficulties that students faced.The implemented solutions involved the operation of the educational process with less regard for students’changing circumstances,which obliged them to study from home.Students should be asked to provide a full list of their concerns.As a result,student reflections,including those from Saudi Arabia,have been analysed to identify obstacles encountered during the COVID-19 pandemic.However,most of the analyses relied on closed-ended questions,which limited student involvement.To delve into students’responses,this study used open-ended questions,a qualitative method(content analysis),a quantitative method(topic modelling),and a sentimental analysis.This study also looked at students’emotional states during and after the COVID-19 pandemic.In terms of determining trends in students’input,the results showed that quantitative and qualitative methods produced similar outcomes.Students had unfavourable sentiments about studying during COVID-19 and positive sentiments about the face-to-face study.Furthermore,topic modelling has revealed that the majority of difficulties are more related to the environment(home)and social life.Students were less accepting of online learning.As a result,it is possible to conclude that face-to-face study still attracts students and provides benefits that online study cannot,such as social interaction and effective eye-to-eye communication.

文摘Multimodal sentiment analysis is an essential area of research in artificial intelligence that combines multiple modes,such as text and image,to accurately assess sentiment.However,conventional approaches that rely on unimodal pre-trained models for feature extraction from each modality often overlook the intrinsic connections of semantic information between modalities.This limitation is attributed to their training on unimodal data,and necessitates the use of complex fusion mechanisms for sentiment analysis.In this study,we present a novel approach that combines a vision-language pre-trained model with a proposed multimodal contrastive learning method.Our approach harnesses the power of transfer learning by utilizing a vision-language pre-trained model to extract both visual and textual representations in a unified framework.We employ a Transformer architecture to integrate these representations,thereby enabling the capture of rich semantic infor-mation in image-text pairs.To further enhance the representation learning of these pairs,we introduce our proposed multimodal contrastive learning method,which leads to improved performance in sentiment analysis tasks.Our approach is evaluated through extensive experiments on two publicly accessible datasets,where we demonstrate its effectiveness.We achieve a significant improvement in sentiment analysis accuracy,indicating the supe-riority of our approach over existing techniques.These results highlight the potential of multimodal sentiment analysis and underscore the importance of considering the intrinsic semantic connections between modalities for accurate sentiment assessment.
