In recent years, social media have become ubiquitous and important for social networking and content sharing. Moreover, the content generated by these websites remains largely untapped. Some researchers proved that social media have been a valuable source to predict the future outcomes of some events such as box-office movie revenues or political elections. Social media are also used by companies to measure the sentiment of customers about their brand and products. This work proposes a new social media based model to measure how users perceive new products from a technical point of view. This model relies on the analysis of advantages and drawbacks of products, which are both important aspects evaluated by consumers during the buying decision process. This model is based on a lexicon developed in a related work (Chiarello et. al, 2017) to analyse patents and detect advantages and drawbacks connected to a certain technology. The results show that when a product has a certain technological complexity and fuels a more technical debate, advantages and drawbacks analysis is more efficient than sentiment analysis in producing technical-functional judgements.

ABSTRACTThe social networking phenomenon starts generating various investigations, but so far none has raised the relationships among users of a social network from the behavioral and psychological point of view. To this end, we have conducted an empirical study based on simulated profiles in Facebook, relevant social network due to the amount of available users and for its IPO. From imaginary profiles, we analyze the types of other Facebook users that are added, which can inspire ecommerce strategies related to digital newspapers.RESUMENEl fenómeno de las redes sociales comienza a generar investigaciones diversas, pero de momento ninguna ha planteado las relaciones entre los usuarios de una red social desde el punto de vista conductual y psicológico. A tal efecto, hemos llevado a cabo un estudio empírico a partir de una simulación de perfiles en Facebook, red social de referencia por la cantidad de usuarios disponibles y por su salida a bolsa. A partir de perfiles imaginarios, analizamos la tipología de otros usuarios de Facebook que se le agregan, lo que puede inspirar estrategias de comercio electrónico vinculadas a los periódicos digitales.

In recent years, digital technology and research methods have developed natural language processing for better understanding consumers and what they share in social media. There are hardly any studies in transportation analysis with TripAdvisor, and moreover, there is not a complete analysis from the point of view of sentiment analysis. The aim of study is to investigate and discover the presence of sustainable transport modes underlying in non-categorized TripAdvisor texts, such as walking mobility in order to impact positively in public services and businesses. The methodology follows a quantitative and qualitative approach based on knowledge discovery techniques. Thus, data gathering, normalization, classification, polarity analysis, and labelling tasks have been carried out to obtain sentiment labelled training data set in the transport domain as a valuable contribution for predictive analytics. This research has allowed the authors to discover sustainable transport modes underlying the texts, focused on walking mobility but extensible to other means of transport and social media sources.

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.

In today’s technological world, Social networking websites like Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, Tumblr, etc. play a very significant role. Emotion AI is about dealing, recognizing and analyzing sentiments or opinions conveyed in a person’s text. In particular Emotion is most frequently called Sentiment analysis. It helps us to understand the people’s point of view. A vast amount of sentiment rich data is produced by Social networking websites in the form of posts, tweets, statuses, blogs etc. Some users post reviews of certain products in social media which influences customers to buy the product. Companies can use such review data analyze it and improve the product. Sentiment analysis of Twitter is troublesome correlated to other social networking websites because of the existence of a lot of short words, misspellings and slang words applying emotion analysis to such data is more challenging. We have classified the sentiment into 5 categories. Machine learning strategies are preferred mostly for analyzing emotion AI. We have used neural network model word2vec with TF-IDF approach to predict the sentiment of the tweet. 


Every year tens of millions of people suffer from depression and few of them get proper treatment on time. So, it is crucial to detect human stress and relaxation automatically via social media on a timely basis. It is very important to detect and manage stress before it goes into a severe problem. A huge number of informal messages are posted every day in social networking sites, blogs and discussion forums. This paper describes an approach to detect the stress using the information from social media networking sites, like tweeter.This paper presents a method to detect expressions of stress and relaxation on tweeter dataset i.e. working on sentiment analysis to find emotions or feelings about daily life. Sentiment analysis works the automatic extraction of sentiment related information from text. Here using TensiStrengthframework for sentiment strength detection on social networking sites to extract sentiment strength from the informal English text. TensiStrength is a system to detect the strength of stress and relaxation expressed in social media text messages. TensiStrength uses a lexical approach and a set of rules to detect direct and indirect expressions of stress or relaxation. This classifies both positive and negative emotions based on the strength scale from -5 to +5 indications of sentiments. Stressed sentences from the conversation are considered &categorised into stress and relax. TensiStrength is robust, it can be applied to a widevarietyofdifferent social web contexts. Theeffectiveness of TensiStrength depends on the nature of the tweets.In human being there is inborn capability to differentiate the multiple senses of an ambiguous word in a particular context, but machine executes only according to the instructions. The major drawback of machine translation is Word Sense Disambiguation. There is a fact that a single word can have multiple meanings or "senses." In the pre-processing partof-speech disambiguation is analysed and the drawback of WSD overcomes in the proposed method by unigram, bigram and trigram to give better result on ambiguous words. Here, SVM with Ngram gives better resultPrecision is65% and Recall is 67% .But, the main objective of this technique is to find the explicit and implicit amounts of stress and relaxation expressed in tweets. Keywords: Stress Detection, Data Mining, TensiStrength, word sense disambiguation.

As social networking has spread, people started sharing their personal opinions and thoughts widely via these online platforms. The resulting vast valuable data represent a rich source for companies to deduct their products’ reputation from both social media and crowds’ judgments. To exploit this wealth of data, a framework was proposed to collect opinions and rating scores respectively from social media and crowdsourcing platform to perform sentiment analysis, provide insights about a product and give consumers’ tendencies. During the analysis process, a consumer category (strict) is excluded from the process of reaching a majority consensus. To overcome this, a fuzzy clustering is used to compute consumers’ credibility. The key novelty of our approach is the new layer of validity check using a crowdsourcing component that ensures that the results obtained from social media are supported by opinions extracted directly from real-life consumers. Finally, experiments are carried out to validate this model (Twitter and Facebook were used as data sources). The obtained results show that this approach is more efficient and accurate than existing solutions thanks to our two-layer validity check design.

While social media have become a daily routine in modern society, brand communication and engagement with customers have become essential elements of marketing strategy and success in the tourism and hotel industry. This revolution of social media, in tourism and hospitality marketing, contributed to the rise of a novel sentiment analysis from a machine learning and natural language processing point of view. The purpose of the study is: to provide a general descriptive overview of comments posted by Facebook page followers; to identify specific textual attributes of hotel brand posts on social media and to apply the sentiment analysis to Facebook comments from four- and five-star hotel brands in Croatia to identify and compare customers’ feelings and attitudes towards the staff, services and products that hotel brands promote by posting messages on Facebook pages. To analyse hotel brand sentiments, the authors collected a total of 4,248 comments and 2,373 postings in English, German and Italian. The results showed that the comments on four- and five-star hotel brands expressed predominantly positive sentiments. Despite the positively oriented sentiments in the comments, Facebook page followers are predominantly passive users and do not tend to comment actively. The results can be used by marketers in the tourism and hospitality industry to plan their future social media communication strategies.
