The Currently, along with the advent of the web 2.0 era, due to the continuous expansion of social media service infrastructures, the shares of conventional public opinion evaluation functions have been gradually shifting from the existing mass media to social media. This phe-nomenon is attributable to the two-way communication and convenience unique to social media and social media are now in charge of an axis of public opinion evaluation standards. In particular, since diverse interests conflict in education policies and countless conflicts of opinions occur in the process of setting up policy agendas, in establishing education policies, accurately analyzing reputations among the public, who are the targets of education policies, in order to set up effective policy agendas, is the most important issue. Therefore, in this study, the resultant values of huge unstructured data on the positive and negative reputations of past policy agendas related to the mandatory software education that has been organized as a regular curriculum of middle/high schools from 2018 in Korea, which have been addressed by the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Science, ICT and Future Planning, and the Korea Foundation for the Advancement of Science and Creativity, felt and judged by the general public on social media such as blogs and Twitter and on online media including portal news were visualized through opinion mining analysis techniques to derive more effective software education related policy agendas. In addition, based on the foregoing, a Korean style software education system that fits circumstances was constructed and the system is expected to become an important measure that provides guidelines for setting mid/long-term road maps for the fostering of creative and convergent talented persons equipped with international competitiveness and software education in Korea.

<p class="Abstrak">Banjir data di era Big Data sudah tidak bisa terelakkan lagi. Termasuk di dalamnya data yang sangat melimpah di media sosial daring. Peluang inilah yang ditangkap sebagai alasan utama pada penelitian ini. <em>Opinion mining</em> sebagai salah satu teknologi dalam mengolah data teks untuk memperoleh arah informasi dari komentar/opini masyarakat. Mengambil obyek penelitian UIN Sunan Ampel Surabaya, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis opini masyarakat tentang kampus Islam terbesar di Surabaya. Sehingga bisa menjadi pendukung keputusan bagi pihak manajemen untuk merumuskan perencanaan strategis terwujudnya visi <em>World Class University</em>. Penelitian ini menggunakan 4009 data sampel berbahasa Indonesia yang diambil dari opini masyarakat di media sosial Twitter dalam kurun waktu dua tahun terakhir (2017 – 2018). Dari 4009 data dihasilkan 31837 jenis kata setelah melalui proses <em>stop-word removal</em>. Berdasarkan analisis <em>sentiment</em> menggunakan pendekatan Vader dan Liu yang divisualisasikan melalui grafik K-Means, dihasilkan bahwa opini publik terhadap UIN Sunan Ampel mengarah pada sentimen ’netral’ sebesar 97,54%, sedangkan sentiment positif =2,16%, dan sentiment negatif = 0,34%. Hasil tersebut membuktikan bahwa <em>Information Capital</em> tentang UIN Sunan Ampel perlu diperkuat menuju nilai “positif”. Sehingga diperlukan upaya maksimal untuk membangun <em>innovation and commercially supremacy, perception (public relation)</em> dan <em>scalability strategies</em> supaya <em>internal operation</em> bisa handal untuk ketercapaian visi misi UIN Sunan Ampel Surabaya.</p><p class="Abstrak"> </p><p class="Abstrak"><em><strong>Abstract</strong></em></p><p class="Abstract"><em>Data deluge in Big Data era is inevitable, this including a very abundant data in online social media.

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 article 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.

The term “digital public diplomacy” that appeared in the 21st century owes much to the emergence and development of the concept of Web 2.0 (interactive communication on the Internet). The principle of network interaction, in which the system becomes better with an increase in the number of users and the creation of user-generated content, made it possible to create social media platforms where news and entertainment content is created and moderated by the user. Such platforms have become an expression of the opinions of various groups of people in many countries of the world, including China. The Chinese segment of the Internet is “closed”, and many popular Western services are blocked in it. Studying the structure of Chinese social media platforms and microblogging, as well as analyzing targeted content is necessary to understand China’s public opinion, choose the right message channels and receive feedback for promoting the country’s public diplomacy. This paper reveals the main Chinese social media platforms and microblogging and provides the assessment of their popularity, as well as possibility of analyzing China’s public opinion based on “listening” to social media platforms and microblogging.

Conspiracy theories started to appear on social media immediately after the first news about COVID-19. Is the virus a hoax? Is it a bioweapon designed in a Chinese laboratory? These conspiracy theories typically have an intergroup flavour, blaming one group for having some involvement in either manufacturing the virus or controlling public opinion about it. In this article, I will discuss why people are attracted to conspiracy theories in general, and why conspiracy theories seem to have flourished during the pandemic. I will discuss what the consequences of these conspiracy theories are for individuals, groups, and societies. I will then discuss some potential strategies for addressing the negative consequences of conspiracy theories. Finally, I will consider some open questions for research regarding COVID-19 conspiracy theories, in particular focusing on the potential impact of these conspiracy theories for group processes and intergroup relations.

Sentiment Analysis/Opinion Mining is associated with social media and usually aims to automatically identify the polarities of different points of views of the users of the social media about different aspects of life. The polarity of a sentiment reflects the point view of its author about a certain issue. This study aims to present a new method to identify the polarity of Arabic reviews and comments whether they are written in Modern Standard Arabic (MSA), or one of the Arabic Dialects, and/or include Emoticons. The proposed method is called Detection of Arabic Sentiment Analysis Polarity (DASAP). A modest dataset of Arabic comments, posts, and reviews is collected from Online social network websites (i.e. Facebook, Blogs, YouTube, and Twitter). This dataset is used to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed method (DASAP). Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) prediction quality measurements are used to evaluate the effectiveness of DASAP based on the collected dataset.
