Mining Public Opinion about Economic Issues: Twitter and the U.S. Presidential Election

Opinion polls have been the bridge between public opinion and politicians in elections. However, developing surveys to disclose people's feedback with respect to economic issues is limited, expensive, and time-consuming. In recent years, social media such as Twitter has enabled people to share their opinions regarding elections. Social media has provided a platform for collecting a large amount of social media data. This paper proposes a computational public opinion mining approach to explore the discussion of economic issues in social media during an election. Current related studies use text mining methods independently for election analysis and election prediction; this research combines two text mining methods: sentiment analysis and topic modeling. The proposed approach has effectively been deployed on millions of tweets to analyze economic concerns of people during the 2012 US presidential election

Sentence-Level Arabic Sentiment Analysis

Arabic sentiment analysis research existing currently is very limited. While sentiment analysis has many applications in English, the Arabic language is still recognizing its early steps in this field. In this paper, we show an application on Arabic sentiment analysis by implementing a sentiment classification for Arabic tweets. The retrieved tweets are analyzed to provide their sentiments polarity (positive, or negative). Since, this data is collected from the social network Twitter; it has its importance for the Middle East region, which mostly speaks Arabic

Analyzing University Students' Attitudes Through Social Media

قمنا في هذا البحث باتباع نهج تحليل المشاعر المعتمد على المعجم لتحديد التوجه العام للطلاب، ايجابي او سلبي او محايد، اذ قمنا بداية ببناء معجم مشاعر انطلاقا من بعض المعاجم المعدة مسبقا ليتم اعتماده في عملية تحليل المشاعر، ثم قمنا بوضع نموذج يوجد رأي الطلاب العام بالاعتماد على المعجم السابق، يعالج النموذج الكتابي الكلمات التي تزيد من حدة المشاعر والرموز التعبيرية وبعض حالات النفي، وقمنا باضافة تفاعلات المستخدمين الأخرين مع المنشورات عند ايجاد التوجه العام بهدف اخذ أراء الطلاب الذين لم يعبروا عن أرائهم بنصوص مكتوبة.

Teaching expression Of happiness and sadness

With the increase in social networks, people have started to share information via different types of social media. Among themwere sites for exchanging people's opinions and others to exchange stories about real life and stories for children. In this work we made use of children's stories and employed them to teach children with Down syndrome the correct feelings by reading a story for them, converting it into text, processing the text using natural languages and extracting feelings automatically from This story, and to achieve this, we used several techniques, combined them, and compared their results on a number of short stories dedicated to children, where each of the different techniques that were unsupervised, such as Dictionary Based or supervised, such as data-dependent neural networks, were used to analyze feelings, where we used multiple classifiers. They are Support Vector Machine, Stochastic Gradient Descent, Decision Tree, Random Forest, Naïve Bayes, K-Nearest Neighbor, and Nearest Centroid We also used deep neural networks as the example of RNN. Finally, the correct sentiment for the story was reached through Dictionary Based which gave the best accuracy and then showed a photo that shows the child the expression they want to start with The events of this story to interact with him and learn the correct expression
