scholarly journals Sentiment Analysis of Patients' Opinions in Healthcare using Lexicon-based Method

The rapid increase in technology made people across the world use social networking sites to express their opinions on a topic, product or service. The success of a healthcare service directly depends on its users. If a majority of users like the service then it is a success otherwise, the service needs to be improvised. For improvising the service, the users' opinions need to be analyzed. Manually extracting and analyzing the content present on the web is a tedious task. This gave rise to a new research area called Sentiment Analysis. It is otherwise known as opinion mining. It is being used by many health organizations to make effective decisions on their service. This paper presents the sentiment analysis of patients' opinions on hospitals which is mainly used to improve healthcare service. This is implemented using a lexicon-based methodology to analyze the sentiment.

Twitter is one of the most popular networking sites with millions of users. There are users with different views and varieties of reviews in the form of tweets are generated by them. Nowadays Opinion Mining has become an emerging topic of research due to lot of opinionated data available on Blogs & social networking sites. Tracking different types of opinions & summarizing them can provide valuable insight to different types of opinions to users who use Social networking sites to get reviews about any product, service or any topic. Analysis of opinions & its classification on the basis of polarity (positive, negative, neutral) is a challenging task.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to explore the factors that influence users’ behavioral intention (BI) to adopt mobile social networking sites (mSNS) in facilitating formal/informal learning. Specifically, the study also investigates the association of mobility, reachability and convenience with performance expectancy (PE) and effort expectancy (EE). Design/methodology/approach – Partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) approach was applied to test on 266 valid responses. Findings – The findings indicated that learning compatibility (LC), PE, EE and copyright clearance (CC) has a significant effect on BI. The results also revealed that EE is influenced by mobility, reachability and convenience. PE however was found to be influenced by convenience. Practical implications – The results of this study provides valuable insights and references for practitioners and mobile network providers in developing mSNS in facilitating learning. Originality/value – While mSNS have the potential to become a new research area with numerous benefits for the learning community, there is little research on the adoption factors on mSNS in facilitating learning. This study therefore attempts to close the research gap by contributing to the mobile literatures.


Due to the invention of Web 2.0, the users have become more interest to share their content day by day. The emergence of various social networking sites has added to a greater extent to these activities. These provide a very good platform for the users to share the opinions of the persons across the globe. The opinions shared by the customers on the web can have the prevalent over the service industry. Many industries such as educational institutions, researchers, business organizations are concentrating opinion mining which is also called as sentiment analysis (SA) to retrieve the views and opinions posted by the public. This paper made a survey on Sentiment Analysis (SA) which aims to discusses technical aspects of SA (techniques, types) .This paper further highlights the main challenges faced by SA. These challenges present a lot of scope for research work in the future

Sentiment Analysis or in particular social network analysis (SNA) is a new research area which is increased explosively. This domain has become a very active research issue in data mining and natural language processing. Sentiment analysis (opinion mining) consists in analyzing and extracting emotions, opinions or attitudes from product’s reviews, movie's reviews, etc., and classify them into classes such as positive, negative and neutral, or extract the degree of importance (polarity). In this paper, we propose a new hybrid approach for classifying tweets into classes based on fuzzy logic and a lexicon based approach using SentiWordnet. Our approach consists in classifying tweets according to three classes: positive, negative or neutral, using SentiWordNet and the fuzzy logic with its three important steps: Fuzzification, Rule Inference/aggregation, and Defuzzification. The dataset of tweets to classify and the result of the classification are stored in the Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS), and we use the Hadoop MapReduce for the application of our proposal.

<p>Opinion mining is extract subjective information from text data using tools such as NLP, text analysis etc. Automated opinion mining often uses machine learning, a type of artificial intelligence (AI), to mine text for sentiment. Opinion mining, which is also called sentiment analysis, involves building a system to collect and categorize opinions about a product.In this project the problem of sentiment analysis in twitter; that is classifying tweets according to the sentiment expressed in terms of positive, negative or neutral. Twitter is an online micro-blogging and social-networking platform which allows users to write short status updates of maximum length 140 characters. It is a rapidly expanding service with over 200 million registered users out of which 100 million are active users and half of them log on twitter on a daily basis - generating nearly 250 million tweets per day. Due to this large amount of usage we hope to achieve a reflection of public sentiment by analysing the sentiments expressed in the tweets. Analysing the public sentiment is important for many applications such as firms trying to find out the response of their products in the market, predicting political elections and predicting socioeconomic phenomena like stock exchange.</p>

Through Social Media, like social networking sites, wikis, web forums or blogs, people can debate and influence each other. Due to this reason, the analysis of online conversations has been recognized to be relevant to organizations. In the chapter we introduce two strategic tools to monitor and analyze online conversations, Sentiment Text Analysis (STA) and Network Text Analysis (NTA). Finally, we propose one empirical example in which these tools are integrated to analyze Word-of-Mouth regarding products and services in the Digital Marketplace.

Purpose Despite the rapid growth of social networking sites (SNSs), research demonstrating the marketing application of these technologies is lacking. Consequently, this paper aims to explore the impact of SNSs on hotel marketing activities. Design/methodology/approach An exploratory study was used. Adopting a key informant approach, in-depth interviews were conducted with 14 respondents in the hotel industry, who use SNSs as part of their hotel marketing efforts. Findings Networked interactions facilitated by SNSs can influence the marketing activities of hotels in many ways. This extends to deeper connections and co-creating value with customers to enhance the market offerings and promotional activities of the firm. Not all interviewees capitalised upon the capabilities offered by SNSs. Practical implications SNSs act as a key knowledge resource that can be used by practitioners to create and deliver superior customer value. However, the extent to which this is achieved depends on who is responsible for implementing it. Specifically, those with a more proactive attitude and approach towards marketing on SNSs tend to reap greater benefits. Originality/value Using the service-dominant logic as a guide, this paper offers greater insight into the theory and practice of social media marketing in the hotel industry, an under-studied and fragmented research area.
