Recent research in cryptocurrencies has considered the effects of the behavior of individuals on the price of cryptocurrencies through actions such as social media usage. However, some celebrities have gone as far as affixing their celebrity to a specific cryptocurrency, becoming a crypto-tastemaker. One such example occurred in April 2021 when Elon Musk claimed via Twitter that “SpaceX is going to put a literal Dogecoin on the literal moon”. He later called himself the “Dogefather” as he announced that he would be hosting Saturday Night Live (SNL) on 8 May 2021. By performing sentiment analysis on relevant tweets during the time he was hosting SNL, evidence is found that negative perceptions of Musk’s performance led to a decline in the price of Dogecoin, which dropped 23.4% during the time Musk was on air. This shows that cryptocurrencies are affected in real time by the behaviors of crypto-tastemakers.

Sentiment Analysis is an actively growing field with demand in both scientific and industrial sectors. Political sentiment analysis is used when a data analyst wants to determine the opinion of different users on social media platforms regarding a politician or a political event. This paper presents Athena Political Popularity Analysis (AthPPA), a tool for identifying political popularity over Twitter. AthPPA is able to collect in-real-time tweets and for each tweet to extract metadata such as number of likes, retweets per tweet etc. Then it processes their text in order to calculate their overall sentiment. For the calculation of sentiment analysis, we have implemented a sentiment analyzer that is able to identify the grammatical issues of a sentence as well as a lexicon of negative and positive words designed specifically for political sentiment analysis. An analytic engine processes the collected data and provides different visualizations that provide additional insights on the collected data. We show how we applied our framework to the three most prominent Greek political leaders in Greece and present our findings there.

Real Time Tracking

With the advent of Web 2.0 technologies and social media, companies are actively looking for ways to know and understand what users think and say about their products and services. Indeed, it has become the practice that users go online using social media like Facebook to raise concerns, make comments, and share recommendations. All these actions can be tracked in real-time and then mined using advanced techniques like data analytics and sentiment analysis. This paper discusses such tracking and mining through a system called Social Miner that allows companies to make decisions about what, when, and how to respond to users? actions over social media. Questions that Social Miner allows to answer include what actions were frequently executed and why certain actions were executed more than others.

Purpose Security breaches have been arising issues that cast a large amount of financial losses and social problems to society and people. Little is known about how social media could be used a surveillance tool to track messages related to security breaches. This paper aims to fill the gap by proposing a framework in studying the social media surveillance on security breaches along with an empirical study to shed light on public attitudes and concerns. Design/methodology/approach In this study, the authors propose a framework for real-time monitoring of public perception to security breach events using social media metadata. Then, an empirical study was conducted on a sample of 1,13,340 related tweets collected in August 2015 on Twitter. By text mining a large number of unstructured, real-time information, the authors extracted topics, opinions and knowledge about security breaches from the general public. The time series analysis suggests significant trends for multiple topics and the results from sentiment analysis show a significant difference among topics. Findings The study confirms that social media monitoring provides a supplementary tool for the traditional surveys which are costly and time-consuming to track security breaches. Sentiment score and impact factors are good predictors of real-time public opinions and attitudes to security breaches. Unusual patterns/events of security breaches can be detected in the early stage, which could prevent further destruction by raising public awareness. Research limitations/implications The sample data were collected from a short period of time on Twitter. Future study could extend the research to a longer period of time or expand key words search to observe the sentiment trend, especially before and after large security breaches, and to track various topics across time. Practical implications The findings could be useful to inform public policy and guide companies responding to consumer security breaches in shaping public perception. Originality/value This study is the first of its kind to undertake the analysis of social media (Twitter) content and sentiment on public perception to security breaches.

Data is the most valuable resource. We have a lot of unstructured data generated by the social media giants Twitter, Facebook, and Google. Unfortunately, analytics on unstructured data cannot be performed. As the availability of the internet became easier, people started using social media platforms as the primary medium for sharing their opinions. Every day, millions of opinions from different parts of the world are posted on Twitter. The primary goal of Twitter is to let people share their opinion with a big audience. So, if the authors can effectively analyse the tweets, valuable information can be gained. Storing these opinions in a structured manner and then using that to analyse people's reactions and perceptions about buying a product or a service is a very vital step for any corporate firm. Sentiment analysis aims to analyse and discover the sentiments behind opinions of various people on different subjects like commercial products, politics, and daily societal issues. This research has developed a model to determine the polarity of a keyword in real time.

The data from social networking sites is more accurate and useful to analyze the public sentiment about the trending topics. The activity of analyzing opinions, sentiments and also the subjectivity of data that is provided, is called sentiment analysis. Tweepy is an easy-to-use python library which is used to extract source data from twitter. From these tweets, features are extracted and then classified using Naïve Bayes algorithm to identify sentiment. This aims to provide an interactive automatic system which predicts the sentiment of the tweets posted in social media using python in real-time. These applications of sentiment analysis are broad and they tend to be very useful in today’s lifestyle. It will evaluate people's sentiment about the trends, entertainment, political issues and products which helps to improve marketing strategies with the help of hashtags, keywords etc.

Depression History

Social media & e-commerce has opened up the doors for human behavioral analysis in ways which were not possible before. Companies have the ability to track user’s mood and suggest advertisements which can trigger buying decisions based on it. This is possible due to user’s real time social media updates. Users nowadays are willing to provide information like their location, their age, nearby friends information, their mood, their buying patterns, etc. Companies do not intentionally collect all this information, but it has become a matter of social pride to post it as social media status and updates. The information available can be put to use in multiple forms- predict election results, movie success, product liking/disliking, travel destination recommendation, health care, etc. In our work, we utilize this textual information posted by different users and analyze their depression level focusing on negative sentiments. In order to perform this task, we have considered user’s tweets, any links which they might have posted, the time of the tweet, their age group and any previous depression history of the user. All these parameters are given to a novel fuzzy decision tree that uses sentiment analysis and game theory-based scoring in order to evaluate the depression score for the user. We analyzed the system on different real-time users, and observed that the system predicts depression level with more than 90% accuracy. Our work can be used to generate a prototype to identify if a person is in a depressive state and figure out the intensity of his/her depression.
