Stance detection on social media: State of the art and trends
Stance detection on social media is an emerging opinion mining paradigm for
various social and political applications in which sentiment analysis may be
sub-optimal. There has been a growing research interest for developing
effective methods for stance detection methods varying among multiple
communities including natural language processing, web science, and social
computing. This paper surveys the work on stance detection within those
communities and situates its usage within current opinion mining techniques in
social media. It presents an exhaustive review of stance detection techniques
on social media, including the task definition, different types of targets in
stance detection, features set used, and various machine learning approaches
applied. The survey reports state-of-the-art results on the existing benchmark
datasets on stance detection, and discusses the most effective approaches. In
addition, this study explores the emerging trends and different applications of
stance detection on social media. The study concludes by discussing the gaps in
the current existing research and highlights the possible future directions for
stance detection on social media.Comment: We request withdrawal of this article sincerely. We will re-edit this
