<p class="0abstract">Today, the influence of the social media on different aspects of our lives is increasing, many scholars from various disciplines and majors looking at the social media networks as the ongoing revolution. In Social media networks, many bonds and connections can be established whether being direct or indirect ties. In fact, Social networks are used not only by people but also by companies. People usually create their own profiles and join communities to discuss different common issues that they have interest in. On the other hand, companies also can create their virtual presence on the social media networks to benefit from this media to understand the customers and gather richer information about them. With all of the benefits and advantages of social media networks, they should not always be seen as a safe place for communicating, sharing information and ideas, and establishing virtual communities. These information and ideas could carry with them hatred speeches that must be detected to avoid raising violence. Therefore, web content mining can be used to handle this issue. Web content mining is gaining more concern because of its importance for many businesses and institutions.  Sentiment Analysis (SA) is an important sub-area of web content mining.  The purpose of SA is to determine the overall sentiment attitude of writer towards a specific entity and classify these opinions automatically. There are two main approaches to build systems of sentiment analysis: the machine learning approach and the lexicon-based approach. This research presents the design and implementation for violence detection over social media using machine learning approach. Our system works on Jordanian Arabic dialect instead of Modern Standard Arabic (MSA). The data was collected from two popular social media websites (Facebook, Twitter) and has used native speakers to annotate the data. Moreover, different preprocessing techniques have been used to show their effect on our model accuracy. The Arabic lexicon was used for generating feature vectors and separate them to features set. Here, we have three well known machine learning algorithms: Support Vector Machine (SVM), Naive Bayes (NB) and k-Nearest Neighbors (KNN). Building on this view, Information Science Research Institute’s (ISRI) stemming and stop word file as a result of preprocessing were used to extract the features. Indeed, several features have been extracted; however, using the SVM classifier reveals that unigram and features extracted from lexicon are characterized by the highest accuracy to detect violence.</p>

The social media space has evolved into a large labyrinth of information exchange platform and due to the growth in the adoption of different social media platforms, there has been an increasing wave of interests in sentiment analysis as a paradigm for the mining and analysis of users’ opinions and sentiments based on their posts. In this paper, we present a review of contextual sentiment analysis on social media entries with a specific focus on Twitter. The sentimental analysis consists of two broad approaches which are machine learning which uses classification techniques to classify text and is further categorized into supervised learning and unsupervised learning; and the lexicon-based approach which uses a dictionary without using any test or training data set, unlike the machine learning approach.

Machine Learning used for many real-time issues in many organizations and the purpose of social media analytics machine learning models are used most prominently and to identify the genuine accounts and the information in the social media we are here with a new pattern of identification. In this pattern of the model, we are proposing some words which are hidden to identify the accounts with fake data and the some of the steps we are proposing will help to identify the fake and unwanted accounts in Facebook in an efficient manner. Clustering in machine learning will be used, and before that, we are proposing a suitable architecture and the process flow which can identify the fake and suspicious accounts in the social media. This article will be on machine learning implementations and will be working on OSN (online social networks). Our work will be more on Facebook which is maintaining more amount of accounts and identifying which are overruling the rules on privacy and protection of the user content. Machine learning supervised models will be used for text classification, and CNN of unsupervised learning performs the image classification, and the explanation will be given in the implementation phase. There are large numbers of algorithms we can consider for machine learning implementations in the social networking and here we considered mainly on CNN because of having the feasibility of implementation in different rules and we can eliminate the features we don’t need. Feature extraction is quite simple using CNN.

In today’s world, social media is viral and easily accessible. The Social media sites like Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, etc. are a primary and valuable source of information.Twitter is a micro-blogging platform, and it provides an enormous amount of data. Such type of information can use for different sentiment analysis applications such as reviews, predictions, elections, marketing, etc. It is one of the most popular sites where peoples write tweets, retweets, and interact daily. Monitoring and analyzing these tweets give valuable feedback to users. Due to this data's large size, sentiment analysis is using to analyze this data without going through millions of tweets manually. Any user writes their reviews about different products, topics, or events on Twitter, called tweets and retweets. People also use emojis such as happy, sad, and neutral in expressing their emotions, so these sites contain expansive volumes of unprocessed data called raw data. The main goal of this research is to recognize the algorithms by using Machine Learning Classifiers. The study intends to categorize Fine-grain sentiments within Tweets of Vaccination (89974 tweets) through machine learning and a deep learning approach. The study takes consideration of both labeled and unlabeled data. It also detects emojis from tweets using machine learning libraries like Textblob, Vadar, Fast text, Flair, Genism, spaCy, and NLTK.

Social networks are the main resources to gather information about people’s opinion towards different topics as they spend hours daily on social media and share their opinion. Twitter is one of the social media that is gaining popularity. Twitter offers organizations a fast and effective way to analyze customers’ perspectives toward the critical to success in the market place. Developing a program for sentiment analysis is an approach to be used to computationally measure customers’ perceptions. .We use natural language processing and machine learning concepts to create a model for analysis . In this paper we are discussing how we can create a model for analysis of twittes which is trained by various nlp , machine learning and Deep learning Approach.

Abstract Social Media is an arena in recent times for people to share their perspectives on a variety of topics. Most of the social interactions are through the Social Media. Though all the Online Social Networks allow users to express their views and opinions in many forms like audio, video, text etc, the most popular form of expression is text, Emoticons and Emojis. The work presented in this paper aims at detecting the sentiments expressed in the Social Media posts. The Machine Learning Models namely Bernoulli Bayes, Multinomial Bayes, Regression and SVM were implemented. All these models were trained and tested with Twitter Data sets. Users on Twitter express their opinions in the form of tweets with limited characters. Tweets also contain Emoticons and Emojis therefore Twitter data sets are best suited for the sentiment analysis. The effect of emoticons present in the tweet is also analyzed. The models are first trained only with the text and then they are trained with text and emoticon in the tweet. The performance of all the four models in both cases are tested and the results are presented in the paper.

Social media has been embraced by different people as a convenient and official medium of communication. People write messages and attach images and videos on Twitter, Facebook and other social media which they share. Social media therefore generates a lot of data that is rich in sentiments from these updates. Sentiment analysis has been used to determine opinions of clients, for instance, relating to a particular product or company. Knowledge based approach and Machine learning approach are among the strategies that have been used to analyze these sentiments. The performance of sentiment analysis is however distorted by noise, the curse of dimensionality, the data domains and size of data used for training and testing. This research aims at developing a model for sentiment analysis in which dimensionality reduction and the use of different parts of speech improves sentiment analysis performance. It uses natural language processing for filtering, storing and performing sentiment analysis on the data from social media. The model is tested using Naïve Bayes, Support Vector Machines and K-Nearest neighbor machine learning algorithms and its performance compared with that of two other Sentiment Analysis models. Experimental results show that the model improves sentiment analysis performance using machine learning techniques.

Sentiment analysis deals with identifying and classifying opinions or sentiments expressed in main text. It mainly refers to a text classification. Social media is generating a vast amount of sentiment rich data in the form of tweets, blog posts, comments, status updates, news etc. Sentiment analysis of this user generated data is very useful in knowing the opinion of the public. Knowledge base approach and Machine learning approach are the two strategies used for analyzing sentiments from the text. In this paper, Machine learning approach has been used for the sentiment analysis of movie review dataset and is analysed by Naïve Bayes, Decision tree, KNN, and SVM classifiers. Commencing the most efficient classification technique is the moto of the paper. Efficiency of the classifier is decided based on some regular parameters that are outputs of the classification techniques.

Purpose To our knowledge, integration of Web content mining of publicly available addresses with a geographic information system (GIS) has not been applied to the timely monitoring of medical technology adoption. Here, we explore the diffusion of a new breast imaging technology, digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT). Methods We used natural language processing and machine learning to extract DBT facility location information using a set of potential sites for the New England region of the United States via a Google search application program interface. We assessed the accuracy of the algorithm using a validated set of publicly available addresses of locations that provide DBT from the DBT technology vendor, Hologic. We quantified precision, recall, and F1 score, aiming for an F1 score of ≥ 95% as the desirable performance. By reverse geocoding on the basis of the results of the Google Maps application program interface, we derived a spatial data set for use in an ArcGIS environment. Within the GIS, a host of spatiotemporal analyses and geovisualization techniques are possible. Results We developed a semiautomated system that integrated DBT location information into a GIS that was feasible and of reasonable quality. Initial accuracy of the algorithm was poor using only a search term list for information retrieval (precision, 35%; recall, 44%; F1 score, 39%), but performance dramatically improved by leveraging natural language processing and simple machine learning techniques to isolate single, valid instances of DBT location information (precision, 92%; recall, 96%; F1 score, 94%). Reverse geocoding yielded reliable geographic coordinates for easy implementation into a GIS for mapping and planned monitoring. Conclusion Our novel approach can be applicable to technologies beyond DBT, which may inform equitable access over time and space.
