Social Media and Sentiment Analysis is the study of using computational techniques to analyze and interpret emotions, opinions, and attitudes expressed in social media content. This field combines natural language processing, data mining, and machine learning to assess public sentiment and trends based on user-generated data.

Key research themes

1. What machine learning methods optimize sentiment classification accuracy in Twitter data?

This theme investigates different machine learning algorithms and text processing techniques applied to Twitter sentiment analysis, aiming to enhance classification accuracy across positive, negative, and neutral sentiments. It matters because Twitter's short, informal texts with slang and acronyms pose distinct challenges that require tailored methods to extract reliable sentiment signals for applications ranging from market research to political analysis.

Key finding: Demonstrated that Naive Bayes provides a baseline with reasonable accuracy, but Support Vector Machines (SVM) outperform other models such as Maximum Entropy and Naive Bayes when applied to Twitter datasets. It empirically... Read more
Key finding: Applied Support Vector Machine (SVM) classification on pre-classified tweet datasets and found SVM achieves high accuracy (up to 85%) for sentiment polarity detection. The paper also compared SVM with other machine learning... Read more
Key finding: Compared Naive Bayes, SVM, and Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) on two datasets including Twitter tweets; results show ANN outperforms classical machine learning methods for sentiment classification, achieving highest... Read more
Key finding: Implemented Naive Bayes and SVM classifiers on tweet datasets obtained via Twitter Streaming API and showed statistical validation of their performance in classifying sentiments as positive, negative, or neutral. This work... Read more
Key finding: Discussed various machine learning classifiers (Logistic Regression, SVM, Naive Bayes) combined with linguistic features and POS tagging, enforcing that models need to handle linguistic nuances like negation for improved... Read more

2. How do NLP and sentiment analysis techniques handle the unique linguistic challenges of social media text?

This research theme focuses on the adaptation of natural language processing techniques, lexical resources, and specialized sentiment models to overcome issues like slang, abbreviations, emoticons, irony, and hashtag semantics in social media data. Understanding and modeling these aspects is crucial for accurate sentiment extraction and contextual interpretation in social media platforms.

Key finding: Highlighted the integration of NLP toolkits such as NLTK, and feature-extraction techniques including TF-IDF with n-gram ranges (1-3), combined with machine learning classifiers like multinomial Naive Bayes and SVM. Also... Read more
Key finding: Combined social network analysis with sentiment analysis by associating sentiment polarity to nodes in Twitter follower/followee graphs. Found network topology helps contextualize and correct sentiment classification errors... Read more

Key finding: Extended sentiment analysis beyond textual tweets to include multi-media content such as YouTube video comments and online news, applying classification models with multi-class polarity (e.g., strongly positive, weak... Read more

3. How can social media sentiment analysis be operationalized for real-time monitoring and decision support in specific domains?

Research here explores frameworks, system architectures, and application-specific methodologies for deploying sentiment analysis on live social media streams to inform governance, marketing, disaster response, and mental health monitoring. The theme is important for translating analytical models into actionable intelligence through pipeline development, API utilization, and visualization for stakeholders.

Key finding: Proposed a system design encompassing data collection, labeling, modeling, and visualization phases for social media mining on Twitter. Highlighted the end-to-end process to convert raw Twitter data into sentiment insights... Read more
Key finding: Developed deep learning models combining convolutional and recurrent neural networks trained on 1.6 million tweets achieving 93.91% classification accuracy in predicting tweet sentiment polarity in real time. Showed that... Read more
