Deep learning-based sentiment analysis for social media: A focus on multimodal and aspect-based approaches
Article thumbnail
Commonly referred to as opinion mining, sentiment analysis harnesses the power of deep learning systems to discern human emotions and subjective sentiments towards a wide array of subjects. As such, it has become an integral tool in identifying and distinguishing sentences that harbor emotional biases or trends. By systematically examining sentiment-tinged data, researchers can unearth pivotal insights that not only reflect current perspectives but also predict future behaviors and trends. This process involves intricate computational models that analyze and interpret the emotional undertones embedded within a body of text. Whether these undertones are positive, negative, or neutral, sentiment analysis allows us to delve into the subtle nuances of human communication. This ability to "understand" and quantify sentiment is particularly vital in our modern digital age, where opinions and reviews shared through social media and online platforms can greatly influence public sentiment and consumer behavior. By extending beyond the literal meanings of words and phrases, sentiment analysis can provide a more comprehensive understanding of how people truly feel. It is instrumental in fields as diverse as marketing, politics, social science, and even artificial intelligence development, given its potential to gauge public opinion and predict societal trends. This paper aims to consolidate relevant research within the field of sentiment analysis conducted in recent years. Furthermore, it seeks to prognosticate the future trajectories and impacts of this rapidly evolving domain. Emphasis is placed on the role of deep learning and its transformational effects on the approach and capabilities of sentiment analysis, anticipating how its further advancement will continue to refine this intricate process of emotion recognition and interpretation.

Data correlation and causal analysis for traffic flow prediction
Article thumbnail
Globally, traffic congestion has become a major issue due to several issues, including the rapid urban population increase, deteriorating infrastructure, improper and disorganized traffic signal timing, and a lack of real-time data. According to INRIX, a well-known provider of traffic data and analytics, the effects of this problem on U.S. travelers in 2017 were astronomical, totaling $305 billion in wasted fuel, lost time, and increased transportation costs in congested locations. Given the limitations of building new roads, communities must investigate cutting-edge tactics and technology to ease traffic while taking practical and economical restraints into account. This study employs the Granger causality test on a dataset of 48,120 entries, primarily focusing on the variables: number of VEHICLEs and number of intersection JUNCTIONs. The objective is to ascertain the potential mutual influence between these two variables. Initial results indicate a two-way Granger-causality between the variables, implying a feedback relationship. This discovery is fundamental in understanding traffic data dynamics and could be instrumental in enhancing traffic data prediction models.

Converting graphs to ASCII art with convolutional neural network
Article thumbnail
In an era marked by data's rapid proliferation, novel data representation and analysis methods have become increasingly significant. However, translating complex graphical structures into character-based representations remains a largely unexplored territory. This problem holds considerable importance due to its potential applications in fields like data compression and the development of innovative graphical interfaces. This study seeks to address this gap by proposing a unique methodology that uses a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) model to translate graphical images into corresponding character arrangements. The approach involves preprocessing graphical inputs using edge detection techniques, slicing the pre-processed graph into specific columns, and feeding the resulting slices into the trained Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) model for character prediction. I interpret the SoftMax output of the model to determine the most probable character for each slice. The results indicate that the granularity of slicing impacts the accuracy of the generated character-laden graph, with higher granularity producing more precise translations. This finding demonstrates the model's ability to effectively translate graphical data into character-based representations, offering promising prospects for future study in this domain.
