Event Outcome Prediction using Sentiment Analysis and Crowd Wisdom in Microblog Feeds

arXiv.org Machine Learning

--Sentiment Analysis of microblog feeds has attracted considerable interest in recent times. Most of the current work focuses on tweet sentiment classification. But not much work has been done to explore how reliable the opinions of the mass (crowd wisdom) in social network microblogs such as twitter are in predicting outcomes of certain events such as election debates. In this work, we investigate whether crowd wisdom is useful in predicting such outcomes and whether their opinions are influenced by the experts in the field. We work in the domain of multi-label classification to perform sentiment classification of tweets and obtain the opinion of the crowd. This learnt sentiment is then used to predict outcomes of events such as: US Presidential Debate winners, Grammy A ward winners, Super Bowl Winners. We find that in most of the cases, the wisdom of the crowd does indeed match with that of the experts, and in cases where they don't (particularly in the case of debates), we see that the crowd's opinion is actually influenced by that of the experts. I NTRODUCTION Over the past few years, microblogs have become one of the most popular online social networks. Microblogging websites have evolved to become a source of varied kinds of information. This is due to the nature of microblogs: people post real-time messages about their opinions and express sentiment on a variety of topics, discuss current issues, complain, etc. Twitter is one such popular microblogging service where users create status messages (called "tweets"). With over 400 million tweets per day on Twitter, microblog users generate large amount of data, which cover very rich topics ranging from politics, sports to celebrity gossip. Because the user generated content on microblogs covers rich topics and expresses sentiment/opinions of the mass, mining and analyzing this information can prove to be very beneficial both to the industrial and the academic community. Tweet classification has attracted considerable attention because it has become very important to analyze peoples' sentiments and opinions over social networks.


Medication Regimen Extraction From Clinical Conversations

arXiv.org Machine Learning

Extracting relevant information from clinical conversations and providing it to doctors and patients might help in addressing doctor burnout and patient forgetfulness. In this paper, we focus on extracting the Medication Regimen (dosage and frequency for medications) discussed in a clinical conversation. We frame the problem as a Question Answering (QA) task and perform comparative analysis over: a QA approach, a new combined QA and Information Extraction approach and other baselines. We use a small corpus of 6,692 annotated doctor-patient conversations for the task. Clinical conversation corpora are costly to create, difficult to handle (because of data privacy concerns), and thus `scarce'. We address this data scarcity challenge through data augmentation methods, using publicly available embeddings and pretrain part of the network on a related task of summarization to improve the model's performance. Compared to the baseline, our best-performing models improve the dosage and frequency extractions' ROUGE-1 F1 scores from 54.28 and 37.13 to 89.57 and 45.94, respectively. Using our best-performing model, we present the first fully automated system that can extract Medication Regimen (MR) tags from spontaneous doctor-patient conversations with about ~71% accuracy.

Sentiment Analysis is a valuable apparatus to discover not only what your clients need dependent on their activities on the internet or their search history, but also by processing their words and searching for their conclusion on a specific subject or theme. You may realize that your client looks for a specific thing on your platform, but how would you know how they truly feel about your customer services? Sentiment analysis can enable you to discover their needs and preferences.

Latent Semantic Search and Information Extraction Architecture

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

The motivation, concept, design and implementation of latent semantic search for search engines have limited semantic search, entity extraction and property attribution features, have insufficient accuracy and response time of latent search, may impose privacy concerns and the search results are unavailable in offline mode for robotic search operations. The alternative suggestion involves autonomous search engine with adaptive storage consumption, configurable search scope and latent search response time with built-in options for entity extraction and property attribution available as open source platform for mobile, desktop and server solutions. The suggested architecture attempts to implement artificial general intelligence (AGI) principles as long as autonomous behaviour constrained by limited resources is concerned, and it is applied for specific task of enabling Web search for artificial agents implementing the AGI.


End to End Machine Learning: From Data Collection to Deployment

#artificialintelligence

This started out as a challenge. With a friend of mine, we wanted to see if it was possible to build something from scratch and push it to production. In this post, we'll go through the necessary steps to build and deploy a machine learning application. This starts from data collection to deployment and the journey, as you'll see it, is exciting and fun . Before we begin, let's have a look at the app we'll be building: As you see, this web app allows a user to evaluate random brands by writing reviews. While writing, the user will see the sentiment score of his input updating in real-time along with a proposed rating from 1 to 5. The user can then change the rating in case the suggested one does not reflect his views, and submit. You can think of this as a crowd sourcing app of brand reviews with a sentiment analysis model that suggests ratings that the user can tweak and adapt afterwards. To build this application we'll follow these steps: All the code is available in our github repository and organized in independant directories, so you can check it, run it and improve it. Disclaimer: The scripts below are meant for educational purposes only: scrape responsibly. In order to train a sentiment classifier, we need data. We can sure download open source datasets for sentiment analysis tasks such as Amazon Polarity or IMDB movie reviews but for the purpose of this tutorial, we'll build our own dataset.


How robotics and AI are changing the fashion industry and warehousing sector

#artificialintelligence

The fashion industry is investing huge amounts of money in artificial intelligence systems that can provide what is called "sentiment analysis", which is similar to customer feedback, except that it's indirectly acquired. Typically, sentiment analytics systems can gather information from social media pages as well as through natural language processing, perhaps through listening to customer phone calls. A massive number of data points can be collated and analysed – a quantity of information that only an AI system can process. And after processing it all, conclusions can be drawn. For example, sentiment analysis can help discover whether people are speaking positively about some products or negatively about others; or it can collate and organise all reviews; or it can monitor the news media to see if the brand is being mentioned, and in what context.


Sentiment Analysis On Indian Indigenous Languages: A Review On Multilingual Opinion Mining

arXiv.org Machine Learning

An increase in the use of smartphones has laid to the use of the internet and social media platforms. The most commonly used social media platforms are Twitter, Facebook, WhatsApp and Instagram. People are sharing their personal experiences, reviews, feedbacks on the web. The information which is available on the web is unstructured and enormous. Hence, there is a huge scope of research on understanding the sentiment of the data available on the web. Sentiment Analysis (SA) can be carried out on the reviews, feedbacks, discussions available on the web. There has been extensive research carried out on SA in the English language, but data on the web also contains different other languages which should be analyzed. This paper aims to analyze, review and discuss the approaches, algorithms, challenges faced by the researchers while carrying out the SA on Indigenous languages.
