Abstract After significant earthquakes, we can see images posted on social media platforms by individuals and media agencies owing to the mass usage of smartphones these days. These images can be utilized to provide information about the shaking damage in the earthquake region both to the public and research community, and potentially to guide rescue work. This paper presents an automated way to extract the damaged building images after earthquakes from social media platforms such as Twitter and thus identify the particular user posts containing such images. Using transfer learning and ~6500 manually labelled images, we trained a deep learning model to recognize images with damaged buildings in the scene. The trained model achieved good performance when tested on newly acquired images of earthquakes at different locations and ran in near real-time on Twitter feed after the 2020 M7.0 earthquake in Turkey. Furthermore, to better understand how the model makes decisions, we also implemented the Grad-CAM method to visualize the important locations on the images that facilitate the decision.

Spreading rumors in social media is considered under cybercrimes that affect people, societies, and governments. For instance, some criminals create rumors and send them on the internet, then other people help them to spread it. Spreading rumors can be an example of cyber abuse, where rumors or lies about the victim are posted on the internet to send threatening messages or to share the victim’s personal information. During pandemics, a large amount of rumors spreads on social media very fast, which have dramatic effects on people’s health. Detecting these rumors manually by the authorities is very difficult in these open platforms. Therefore, several researchers conducted studies on utilizing intelligent methods for detecting such rumors. The detection methods can be classified mainly into machine learning-based and deep learning-based methods. The deep learning methods have comparative advantages against machine learning ones as they do not require preprocessing and feature engineering processes and their performance showed superior enhancements in many fields. Therefore, this paper aims to propose a Novel Hybrid Deep Learning Model for Detecting COVID-19-related Rumors on Social Media (LSTM–PCNN). The proposed model is based on a Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) and Concatenated Parallel Convolutional Neural Networks (PCNN). The experiments were conducted on an ArCOV-19 dataset that included 3157 tweets; 1480 of them were rumors (46.87%) and 1677 tweets were non-rumors (53.12%). The findings of the proposed model showed a superior performance compared to other methods in terms of accuracy, recall, precision, and F-score.

Pervasive usage and the development of social media networks have provided the platform for the fake news to spread fast among people. Fake news often misleads people and creates wrong society perceptions. The spread of low-quality news in social media has negatively affected individuals and society. In this study, we proposed an ensemble-based deep learning model to classify news as fake or real using LIAR dataset. Due to the nature of the dataset attributes, two deep learning models were used. For the textual attribute “statement,” Bi-LSTM-GRU-dense deep learning model was used, while for the remaining attributes, dense deep learning model was used. Experimental results showed that the proposed study achieved an accuracy of 0.898, recall of 0.916, precision of 0.913, and F-score of 0.914, respectively, using only statement attribute. Moreover, the outcome of the proposed models is remarkable when compared with that of the previous studies for fake news detection using LIAR dataset.

Detecting product adoption intentions on social media could yield significant value in a wide range of applications, such as personalized recommendations and targeted marketing. In the literature, no study has explored the detection of product adoption intentions on social media, and only a few relevant studies have focused on purchase intention detection for products in one or several categories. Focusing on a product category rather than a specific product is too coarse-grained for precise advertising. Additionally, existing studies primarily focus on using one type of text representation in target social media posts, ignoring the major yet unexplored potential of fusing different text representations. In this paper, we first formulate the problem of product adoption intention mining and demonstrate the necessity of studying this problem and its practical value. To detect a product adoption intention for an individual product, we propose a novel and general multiview deep learning model that simultaneously taps into the capability of multiview learning in leveraging different representations and deep learning in learning latent data representations using a flexible nonlinear transformation. Specifically, the proposed model leverages three different text representations from a multiview perspective and takes advantage of local and long-term word relations by integrating convolutional neural network (CNN) and long short-term memory (LSTM) modules. Extensive experiments on three Twitter datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed multiview deep learning model compared with the existing benchmark methods. This study also significantly contributes research insights to the literature about intention mining and provides business value to relevant stakeholders such as product providers.

This paper focuses on preventing forms of social dysfunction such as invasions of privacy and stalking by understanding the diversified situation of the rapidly increasing number of social media users who use social media services, which are various types of social networking services. To prevent these problems, we aim to identify mutual relationships by layering the relationships between social media users. In other words, in social media that has a relationship with the subject, the subject user is yet another object, so the appearance of the object viewed by the subject user and the correlation between the subjects and objects must be visualized. At this time, because the subject is an object that has changed over time, it is necessary to perform symmetrical and mutual correlation analysis based on relationship through objective layering viewed from a computer. In this paper, the mutual relationship between the subject user and the object user was defined and visualized to apply it to the deep learning model through a software program. Among various types of social media that are mainly used, user information data is gathered through the popular social media site called Instagram and our target community platforms. Consequently, it was processed again to represent user interactions among other users. Finally, three stages of mutual relationship visualization were represented through simulation and tests, and 120,000 data sets were processed, classified, and proved through the simulation results.

Background: Sentiment analysis is a contextual mining of text which determines viewpoint of users with respect to some sentimental topics commonly present at social networking websites. Twitter is one of the social sites where people express their opinion about any topic in the form of tweets. These tweets can be examined using various sentiment classification methods to find the opinion of users. Traditional sentiment analysis methods use manually extracted features for opinion classification. The manual feature extraction process is a complicated task since it requires predefined sentiment lexicons. On the other hand, deep learning methods automatically extract relevant features from data hence; they provide better performance and richer representation competency than the traditional methods. Objective: The main aim of this paper is to enhance the sentiment classification accuracy and to reduce the computational cost. Method: To achieve the objective, a hybrid deep learning model, based on convolution neural network and bi-directional long-short term memory neural network has been introduced. Results: The proposed sentiment classification method achieves the highest accuracy for the most of the datasets. Further, from the statistical analysis efficacy of the proposed method has been validated. Conclusion: Sentiment classification accuracy can be improved by creating veracious hybrid models. Moreover, performance can also be enhanced by tuning the hyper parameters of deep leaning models.
