Sustainable development plays a vital role in information and communication technology. In times of pandemics such as COVID-19, vulnerable people need help to survive. This help includes the distribution of relief packages and materials by the government with the primary objective of lessening the economic and psychological effects on the citizens affected by disasters such as the COVID-19 pandemic. However, there has not been an efficient way to monitor public funds’ accountability and transparency, especially in developing countries such as Nigeria. The understanding of public emotions by the government on distributed palliatives is important as it would indicate the reach and impact of the distribution exercise. Although several studies on English emotion classification have been conducted, these studies are not portable to a wider inclusive Nigerian case. This is because Informal Nigerian English (Pidgin), which Nigerians widely speak, has quite a different vocabulary from Standard English, thus limiting the applicability of the emotion classification of Standard English machine learning models. An Informal Nigerian English (Pidgin English) emotions dataset is constructed, pre-processed, and annotated. The dataset is then used to classify five emotion classes (anger, sadness, joy, fear, and disgust) on the COVID-19 palliatives and relief aid distribution in Nigeria using standard machine learning (ML) algorithms. Six ML algorithms are used in this study, and a comparative analysis of their performance is conducted. The algorithms are Multinomial Naïve Bayes (MNB), Support Vector Machine (SVM), Random Forest (RF), Logistics Regression (LR), K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN), and Decision Tree (DT). The conducted experiments reveal that Support Vector Machine outperforms the remaining classifiers with the highest accuracy of 88%. The “disgust” emotion class surpassed other emotion classes, i.e., sadness, joy, fear, and anger, with the highest number of counts from the classification conducted on the constructed dataset. Additionally, the conducted correlation analysis shows a significant relationship between the emotion classes of “Joy” and “Fear”, which implies that the public is excited about the palliatives’ distribution but afraid of inequality and transparency in the distribution process due to reasons such as corruption. Conclusively, the results from this experiment clearly show that the public emotions on COVID-19 support and relief aid packages’ distribution in Nigeria were not satisfactory, considering that the negative emotions from the public outnumbered the public happiness.

Indonesia has a capital city which is one of the many big cities in the world called Jakarta. Jakarta's role in the dynamics that occur in Indonesia is very central because it functions as a political and government center, and is a business and economic center that drives the economy. Recently the discourse of the government to relocate the capital city has invited various reactions from the community. Therefore, in this study, sentiment analysis of the relocation of the capital city was carried out. The analysis was performed by doing a classification to describe the public sentiment sourced from twitter data, the data is classified into 2 classes, namely positive and negative sentiments. The algorithms used in this study include Naïve Bayes classifier, logistic regression, support vector machine, and K-nearest neighbor. The results of the performance evaluation algorithm showed that support vector machine outperformed as compared to 3 algorithms with the results of Accuracy, Precision, Recall, and F-measure are 97.72%, 96.01%, 99.18%, and 97.57%, respectively. Sentiment analysis of the discourse of relocation of the capital city is expected to provide an overview to the government of public opinion from the point of view of data coming from social media.

Sentiment analysis of product reviews on e-commerce platforms aids in determining the preferences of customers. Aspect-based sentiment analysis (ABSA) assists in identifying the contributing aspects and their corresponding polarity, thereby allowing for a more detailed analysis of the customer’s inclination toward product aspects. This analysis helps in the transition from the traditional rating-based recommendation process to an improved aspect-based process. To automate ABSA, a labelled dataset is required to train a supervised machine learning model. As the availability of such dataset is limited due to the involvement of human efforts, an annotated dataset has been provided here for performing ABSA on customer reviews of mobile phones. The dataset comprising of product reviews of Apple-iPhone11 has been manually annotated with predefined aspect categories and aspect sentiments. The dataset’s accuracy has been validated using state-of-the-art machine learning techniques such as Naïve Bayes, Support Vector Machine, Logistic Regression, Random Forest, K-Nearest Neighbor and Multi Layer Perceptron, a sequential model built with Keras API. The MLP model built through Keras Sequential API for classifying review text into aspect categories produced the most accurate result with 67.45 percent accuracy. K- nearest neighbor performed the worst with only 49.92 percent accuracy. The Support Vector Machine had the highest accuracy for classifying review text into aspect sentiments with an accuracy of 79.46 percent. The model built with Keras API had the lowest 76.30 percent accuracy. The contribution is beneficial as a benchmark dataset for ABSA of mobile phone reviews.

With the arrival of the fourth industrial revolution, new technologies that integrate emotional intelligence into existing IoT applications are being studied. Of these technologies, emotional analysis research for providing various music services has received increasing attention in recent years. In this paper, we propose an emotion-based automatic music classification method to classify music with high accuracy according to the emotional range of people. In particular, when the new (unlearned) songs are added to a music-related IoT application, it is necessary to build mechanisms to classify them automatically based on the emotion of humans. This point is one of the practical issues for developing the applications. A survey for collecting emotional data is conducted based on the emotional model. In addition, music features are derived by discussing with the working group in a small and medium-sized enterprise. Emotion classification is carried out using multiple regression analysis and support vector machine. The experimental results show that the proposed method identifies most of induced emotions felt by music listeners and accordingly classifies music successfully. In addition, comparative analysis is performed with different classification algorithms, such as random forest, deep neural network and K-nearest neighbor, as well as support vector machine.
