Econometrics meets sentiment : an overview of methodology and applications
The advent of massive amounts of textual, audio, and visual data has spurred the development of econometric methodology to transform qualitative sentiment data into quantitative sentiment variables, and to use those variables in an econometric analysis of the relationships between sentiment and other variables. We survey this emerging research field and refer to it as sentometrics, which is a portmanteau of sentiment and econometrics. We provide a synthesis of the relevant methodological approaches, illustrate with empirical results, and discuss useful software
The Today Tendency of Sentiment Classification
Sentiment classification has already been studied for many years because it has had many crucial contributions to many different fields in everyday life, such as in political activities, commodity production, and commercial activities. There have been many kinds of the sentiment analysis such as machine learning approaches, lexicon-based approaches, etc., for many years. The today tendency of the sentiment classification is as follows: (1) Processing many big data sets with shortening execution times (2) Having a high accuracy (3) Integrating flexibly and easily into many small machines or many different approaches. We will present each category in more details
A Survey on Semantic Processing Techniques
Semantic processing is a fundamental research domain in computational
linguistics. In the era of powerful pre-trained language models and large
language models, the advancement of research in this domain appears to be
decelerating. However, the study of semantics is multi-dimensional in
linguistics. The research depth and breadth of computational semantic
processing can be largely improved with new technologies. In this survey, we
analyzed five semantic processing tasks, e.g., word sense disambiguation,
anaphora resolution, named entity recognition, concept extraction, and
subjectivity detection. We study relevant theoretical research in these fields,
advanced methods, and downstream applications. We connect the surveyed tasks
with downstream applications because this may inspire future scholars to fuse
these low-level semantic processing tasks with high-level natural language
processing tasks. The review of theoretical research may also inspire new tasks
and technologies in the semantic processing domain. Finally, we compare the
different semantic processing techniques and summarize their technical trends,
application trends, and future directions.Comment: Published at Information Fusion, Volume 101, 2024, 101988, ISSN

A survey on sentiment analysis in Urdu: A resource-poor language
© 2020 Background/introduction: The dawn of the internet opened the doors to the easy and widespread sharing of information on subject matters such as products, services, events and political opinions. While the volume of studies conducted on sentiment analysis is rapidly expanding, these studies mostly address English language concerns. The primary goal of this study is to present state-of-art survey for identifying the progress and shortcomings saddling Urdu sentiment analysis and propose rectifications. Methods: We described the advancements made thus far in this area by categorising the studies along three dimensions, namely: text pre-processing lexical resources and sentiment classification. These pre-processing operations include word segmentation, text cleaning, spell checking and part-of-speech tagging. An evaluation of sophisticated lexical resources including corpuses and lexicons was carried out, and investigations were conducted on sentiment analysis constructs such as opinion words, modifiers, negations. Results and conclusions: Performance is reported for each of the reviewed study. Based on experimental results and proposals forwarded through this paper provides the groundwork for further studies on Urdu sentiment analysis
