Quantum Particle Swarm Optimization with Deep Learning-Based Arabic Tweets Sentiment Analysis

Sentiment Analysis(SA),a Machine Learning(ML)technique,is often applied in the literature.The SA technique is specifically applied to the data collected from social media sites.The research studies conducted earlier upon the SA of the tweets were mostly aimed at automating the feature extraction process.In this background,the current study introduces a novel method called Quantum Particle Swarm Optimization with Deep Learning-Based Sentiment Analysis on Arabic Tweets(QPSODL-SAAT).The presented QPSODL-SAAT model determines and classifies the sentiments of the tweets written in Arabic.Initially,the data pre-processing is performed to convert the raw tweets into a useful format.Then,the word2vec model is applied to generate the feature vectors.The Bidirectional Gated Recurrent Unit(BiGRU)classifier is utilized to identify and classify the sentiments.Finally,the QPSO algorithm is exploited for the optimal finetuning of the hyperparameters involved in the BiGRU model.The proposed QPSODL-SAAT model was experimentally validated using the standard datasets.An extensive comparative analysis was conducted,and the proposed model achieved a maximum accuracy of 98.35%.The outcomes confirmed the supremacy of the proposed QPSODL-SAAT model over the rest of the approaches,such as the Surface Features(SF),Generic Embeddings(GE),Arabic Sentiment Embeddings constructed using the Hybrid(ASEH)model and the Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers(BERT)model.

Dragonfly Optimization with Deep Learning Enabled Sentiment Analysis for Arabic Tweets

Sentiment Analysis(SA)is one of the Machine Learning(ML)techniques that has been investigated by several researchers in recent years,especially due to the evolution of novel data collection methods focused on social media.In literature,it has been reported that SA data is created for English language in excess of any other language.It is challenging to perform SA for Arabic Twitter data owing to informal nature and rich morphology of Arabic language.An earlier study conducted upon SA for Arabic Twitter focused mostly on automatic extraction of the features from the text.Neural word embedding has been employed in literature,since it is less labor-intensive than automatic feature engineering.By ignoring the context of sentiment,most of the word-embedding models follow syntactic data of words.The current study presents a new Dragonfly Optimization with Deep Learning Enabled Sentiment Analysis for Arabic Tweets(DFODLSAAT)model.The aim of the presented DFODL-SAAT model is to distinguish the sentiments from opinions that are tweeted in Arabic language.At first,data cleaning and pre-processing steps are performed to convert the input tweets into a useful format.In addition,TF-IDF model is exploited as a feature extractor to generate the feature vectors.Besides,Attention-based Bidirectional Long Short Term Memory(ABLSTM)technique is applied for identification and classification of sentiments.At last,the hyperparameters of ABLSTM model are optimized using DFO algorithm.The performance of the proposed DFODL-SAAT model was validated using the benchmark dataset and the outcomes were investigated under different aspects.The experimental outcomes highlight the superiority of DFODL-SAAT model over recent approaches.

A visual-textual fused approach to automated tagging of flood-related tweets during a flood event

In recent years,social media such as Twitter have received much attention as a new data source for rapid flood awareness.The timely response and large coverage provided by citizen sensors significantly compensate the limitations of non-timely remote sensing data and spatially isolated river gauges.However,automatic extraction of flood tweets from a massive tweets pool remains a challenge.Taking the Houston Flood in 2017 as a study case,this paper presents an automated flood tweets extraction approach by mining both visual and textual information a tweet contains.A CNN architecture was designed to classify the visual content of flood pictures during the Houston Flood.A sensitivity test was then applied to extract flood-sensitive keywords that were further used to refine the CNN classified results.A duplication test was finally performed to trim the database by removing the duplicated pictures to create the flood tweets pool for the flood event.The results indicated that coupling CNN classification results with flood-sensitive words in tweets allows a significant increase in precision while keeps the recall rate in a high level.The elimination of tweets containing duplicated pictures greatly contributes to higher spatio-temporal relevance to the flood.

Public Emotional Diffusion over COVID-19 Related Tweets Posted by Major Public Health Agencies in the United States

Since the end of 2019,the COVID-19 outbreak worldwide has not only presented challenges for government agencies in addressing public health emergency,but also tested their capacity in dealing with public opinion on social media and responding to social emergencies.To understand the impact of COVID-19 related tweets posted by the major public health agencies in the United States on public emotion,this paper studied public emotional diffusion in the tweets network,including its process and characteristics,by taking Twitter users of four official public health systems in the United States as an example.We extracted the interactions between tweets in the COVID-19-Tweet Ids data set and drew the tweets diffusion network.We proposed a method to measure the characteristics of the emotional diffusion network,with which we analyzed the changes of the public emotional intensity and the proportion of emotional polarity,investigated the emotional influence of key nodes and users,and the emotional diffusion of tweets at different tweeting time,tweet topics and the tweet posting agencies.The results show that the emotional polarity of tweets has changed from negative to positive with the improvement of pandemic management measures.The public’s emotional polarity on pandemic related topics tends to be negative,and the emotional intensity of management measures such as pandemic medical services turn from positive to negative to the greatest extent,while the emotional intensity of pandemic related knowledge changes the most.The tweets posted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Food and Drug Administration of the United States have a broad impact on public emotions,and the emotional spread of tweets’polarity eventually forms a very close proportion of opposite emotions.

An enhanced cosine-based visual technique for the robust tweets data clustering

Purpose-The purpose of the paper is to study multiple viewpoints which are required to access the more informative similarity features among the tweets documents,which is useful for achieving the robust tweets data clustering results.Design/methodology/approach-Let“N”be the number of tweets documents for the topics extraction.Unwanted texts,punctuations and other symbols are removed,tokenization and stemming operations are performed in the initial tweets pre-processing step.Bag-of-features are determined for the tweets;later tweets are modelled with the obtained bag-of-features during the process of topics extraction.Approximation of topics features are extracted for every tweet document.These set of topics features of N documents are treated as multi-viewpoints.The key idea of the proposed work is to use multi-viewpoints in the similarity features computation.The following figure illustrates multi-viewpoints based cosine similarity computation of the five tweets documents(here N 55)and corresponding documents are defined in projected space with five viewpoints,say,v_(1),v_(2),v_(3),v4,and v5.For example,similarity features between two documents(viewpoints v_(1),and v_(2))are computed concerning the other three multi-viewpoints(v_(3),v4,and v5),unlike a single viewpoint in traditional cosine metric.Findings-Healthcare problems with tweets data.Topic models play a crucial role in the classification of health-related tweets with finding topics(or health clusters)instead of finding term frequency and inverse document frequency(TF-IDF)for unlabelled tweets.Originality/value-Topic models play a crucial role in the classification of health-related tweets with finding topics(or health clusters)instead of finding TF-IDF for unlabelled tweets.

A Parallel Approach for Sentiment Analysis on Social Networks Using Spark

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%.

Deep Learning for Depression Detection Using Twitter Data

Today social media became a communication line among people to share their happiness,sadness,and anger with their end-users.It is necessary to know people’s emotions are very important to identify depressed people from their messages.Early depression detection helps to save people’s lives and other dangerous mental diseases.There are many intelligent algorithms for predicting depression with high accuracy,but they lack the definition of such cases.Several machine learning methods help to identify depressed people.But the accuracy of existing methods was not satisfactory.To overcome this issue,the deep learning method is used in the proposed method for depression detection.In this paper,a novel Deep Learning Multi-Aspect Depression Detection with Hierarchical Atten-tion Network(MDHAN)is used for classifying the depression data.Initially,the Twitter data was preprocessed by tokenization,punctuation mark removal,stop word removal,stemming,and lemmatization.The Adaptive Particle and grey Wolf optimization methods are used for feature selection.The MDHAN classifies the Twitter data and predicts the depressed and non-depressed users.Finally,the proposed method is compared with existing methods such as Convolutional Neur-al Network(CNN),Support Vector Machine(SVM),Minimum Description Length(MDL),and MDHAN.The suggested MDH-PWO architecture gains 99.86%accuracy,more significant than frequency-based deep learning models,with a lower false-positive rate.The experimental result shows that the proposed method achieves better accuracy,precision,recall,and F1-measure.It also mini-mizes the execution time.

Course Evaluation Based on Deep Learning and SSA Hyperparameters Optimization

Sentiment analysis attracts the attention of Egyptian Decisionmakers in the education sector.It offers a viable method to assess education quality services based on the students’feedback as well as that provides an understanding of their needs.As machine learning techniques offer automated strategies to process big data derived from social media and other digital channels,this research uses a dataset for tweets’sentiments to assess a few machine learning techniques.After dataset preprocessing to remove symbols,necessary stemming and lemmatization is performed for features extraction.This is followed by several machine learning techniques and a proposed Long Short-Term Memory(LSTM)classifier optimized by the Salp Swarm Algorithm(SSA)and measured the corresponding performance.Then,the validity and accuracy of commonly used classifiers,such as Support Vector Machine,Logistic Regression Classifier,and Naive Bayes classifier,were reviewed.Moreover,LSTM based on the SSA classification model was compared with Support Vector Machine(SVM),Logistic Regression(LR),and Naive Bayes(NB).Finally,as LSTM based SSA achieved the highest accuracy,it was applied to predict the sentiments of students’feedback and evaluate their association with the course outcome evaluations for education quality purposes.

Tweet Sentiment Analysis (TSA) for Cloud Providers Using Classification Algorithms and Latent Semantic Analysis

The availability and advancements of cloud computing service models such as IaaS, SaaS, and PaaS;introducing on-demand self-service, auto scaling, easy maintenance, and pay as you go, has dramatically transformed the way organizations design and operate their datacenters. However, some organizations still have many concerns like: security, governance, lack of expertise, and migration. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the cloud computing customers’ opinions, feedbacks, attitudes, and emotions towards cloud computing services using sentiment analysis. The associated aim, is to help people and organizations to understand the benefits and challenges of cloud services from the general public’s perspective view as well as opinions about existing cloud providers, focusing on three main cloud providers: Azure, Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Google Cloud. The methodology used in this paper is based on sentiment analysis applied to the tweets that were extracted from social media platform (Twitter) via its search API. We have extracted a sample of 11,000 tweets and each cloud provider has almost similar proportion of the tweets based on relevant hashtags and keywords. Analysis starts by combining the tweets in order to find the overall polarity about cloud computing, then breaking the tweets to find the specific polarity for each cloud provider. Bing and NRC Lexicons are employed to measure the polarity and emotion of the terms in the tweets. The overall polarity classification of the tweets across all cloud providers shows 68.5% positive and 31.5% negative percentages. More specifically, Azure shows 63.8% positive and 36.2% negative tweets, Google Cloud shows 72.6% positive and 27.4% negative tweets and AWS shows 69.1% positive and 30.9% negative tweets.

Predicting Stock Movement Using Sentiment Analysis of Twitter Feed with Neural Networks

External factors, such as social media and financial news, can have wide-spread effects on stock price movement. For this reason, social media is considered a useful resource for precise market predictions. In this paper, we show the effectiveness of using Twitter posts to predict stock prices. We start by training various models on the Sentiment 140 Twitter data. We found that Support Vector Machines (SVM) performed best (0.83 accuracy) in the sentimental analysis, so we used it to predict the average sentiment of tweets for each day that the market was open. Next, we use the sentimental analysis of one year’s data of tweets that contain the “stock market”, “stocktwits”, “AAPL” keywords, with the goal of predicting the corresponding stock prices of Apple Inc. (AAPL) and the US’s Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) index prices. Two models, Boosted Regression Trees and Multilayer Perceptron Neural Networks were used to predict the closing price difference of AAPL and DJIA prices. We show that neural networks perform substantially better than traditional models for stocks’ price prediction.

Dynamic Spatio-Temporal Tweet Mining for Event Detection:A Case Study of Hurricane Florence

Extracting information about emerging events in large study areas through spatiotemporal and textual analysis of geotagged tweets provides the possibility of monitoring the current state of a disaster.This study proposes dynamic spatio-temporal tweet mining as a method for dynamic event extraction from geotagged tweets in large study areas.It introduces the use of a modified version of ordering points to identify the clustering structure to address the intrinsic heterogeneity of Twitter data.To precisely calculate the textual similarity,three state-of-theart text embedding methods of Word2vec,GloVe,and Fast Text were used to capture both syntactic and semantic similarities.The impact of selected embedding algorithms on the quality of the outputs was studied.Different combinations of spatial and temporal distances with the textual similarity measure were investigated to improve the event detection outcomes.The proposed method was applied to a case study related to 2018 Hurricane Florence.The method was able to precisely identify events of varied sizes and densities before,during,and after the hurricane.The feasibility of the proposed method was qualitatively evaluated using the Silhouette coefficient and qualitatively discussed.The proposed method was also compared to an implementation based on the standard density-based spatial clustering of applications with noise algorithm,where it showed more promising results.

An ontology-based framework for extracting spatio-temporal influenza data using Twitter

Early detection of influenza outbreaks is one of the key priorities on a national level for preparedness and planning.This study presents the design and implementation of Fluwitter,which is a spatio-temporal webbased prototype framework for pseudo real-time detection of influenza outbreaks from Twitter.Specifically,the framework integrates PostgreSQL database server with PostGIS spatial extension,Twitter streaming client,pre-processor,tagger and similarity calculator for semantic information extraction(IE).The IE of tagged terms is supported by Natural Language Processing(NLP)techniques,DBpediaSpotlight and WordNet Similarity for Java(WS4J),while data analytics,visualization,and mapping are supported by GeoServer and other GIS Free Open Source Software(FOSS).The prototype was calibrated to maximize detection of influenza using rules developed from ontology-based semantic similarity scores.The Twitter-generated influenza cases were validated by weekly hospitalization records issued by Ohio Department of Health(ODH).The optimized rule produced a final F-measure value of 0.72 and accuracy(ACC)value of 94.4%.The validation suggested the existence of moderate correlations for the beginning of the time period Southeast region(r=0.52),the Northwestern region(r=0.38),and the Central region(r=0.33)and weak correlations for the entire time period.The potential strengths and benefits of the prototype are shown through spatio-temporal assessment and visualization of influenza potential in Ohio.
