    From past to present: spam detection and identifying opinion leaders in social networks
    (Yildiz Teknik Univ., 2022-06-22) Altınel Girgin, Ayşe Berna; Gümüşçekiçci, Gizem
    On microblogging sites, which are gaining more and more users every day, a wide range of ideas are quickly emerging, spreading, and creating interactive environments. In some cases, in Turkey as well as in the rest of the world, it was noticed that events were published on microblogging sites before appearing in visual, audio and printed news sources. Thanks to the rapid flow of information in social networks, it can reach millions of people in seconds. In this context, social media can be seen as one of the most important sources of information affecting public opinion. Since the information in social networks became accessible, research started to be conducted using the information on the social networks. While the studies about spam detection and identification of opinion leaders gained popularity, surveys about these topics began to be published. This study also shows the importance of spam detection and identification of opinion leaders in social networks. It is seen that the data collected from social platforms, especially in recent years, has sourced many state-of-art applications. There are independent surveys that focus on filtering the spam content and detecting influencers on social networks. This survey analyzes both spam detection studies and opinion leader identification and categorizes these studies by their methodologies. As far as we know there is no survey that contains approaches for both spam detection and opinion leader identification in social networks. This survey contains an overview of the past and recent advances in both spam detection and opinion leader identification studies in social networks. Furthermore, readers of this survey have the opportunity of understanding general aspects of different studies about spam detection and opinion leader identification while observing key points and comparisons of these studies.

    Sarcasm detection in text using deep neural networks
    (Işık Üniversitesi, 2024-02-25) Gümüşçekiçci, Gizem; Dehkharghani, Rahim; Işık Üniversitesi, Lisansüstü Eğitim Enstitüsü, Bilgisayar Mühendisliği Yüksek Lisans Programı; Işık University, School of Graduate Studies, Computer Science Engineering Master Program
    Sarcasm is a form of irony which is generally used in expressing negative opinions. Sarcasm poses a linguistic challenge due to its figurative nature where intended meaning contradicts with literal interpretation. Sarcasm is widely used in our Daily lives and also upon many social platforms. Detecting sarcasm in written text is a challenging process that has captured the interest of many researchers. Hence, sarcasm has become a crucial task in the Natural Language Processing (NLP) field. This thesis study explores the concept of sarcasm, and its importance on existing sarcasm research. The automatic process of sarcasm detection involves dataset selection, preprocessing steps, and selecting proper approaches, including rule-based methods, Machine Learning (ML), Deep Learning (DL) and Transformer architectures. This study surveys previous research on sarcasm detection, specifically examining the dataset, methodology and performance. This thesis study attempts to automatically detect sarcasm by utilizing various ML, DL and transformer and hybrid neural network architectures on news headlines datasets. To overcome the dataset and performance limitations on existing approaches, we propose various methodologies to detect sarcastic text mostly focusing on DL, hybrid neural networks and transformer architectures. We combine appropriate architectures with several hand-crafted features and utilizing different word embedding models. To further extend the performance of our proposed methods and also enhance the existing news headlines dataset, we proposed several modifications. We contribute to the existing dataset by applying augmentation to increase the dataset size to help enhance the performance of the proposed models with overcoming dataset limitations. Our methodologies correctly identify sarcasm with 97.68% F1 score.

    Turkish sentiment analysis: a comprehensive review
    (Yildiz Technical University, 2024-08) Altınel Girgin, Ayşe Berna; Gümüşçekiçci, Gizem; Birdemir, Nuri Can
    Sentiment analysis (SA) is a very popular research topic in the text mining field. SA is the process of textual mining in which the meaning of a text is detected and extracted. One of the key aspects of SA is to analyze the body of a text to determine its polarity to understand the opinions it expresses. Substantial amounts of data are produced by online resources such as social media sites, blogs, news sites, etc. Due to this reason, it is impossible to process all of this data without automated systems, which has contributed to the rise in popularity of SA in recent years. SA is considered to be extremely essential, mostly due to its ability to analyze mass opinions. SA, and Natural Language Processing (NLP) in particular, has become an overwhelmingly popular topic as social media usage has increased. The data collected from social media has sourced numerous different SA studies due to being versatile and accessible to the masses. This survey presents a comprehensive study categorizing past and present studies by their employed methodologies and levels of sentiment. In this survey, Turkish SA studies were categorized under three sections. These are Dictionary-based, Machine Learning-based, and Hybrid-based. Researchers can discover, compare, and analyze properties of different Turkish SA studies reviewed in this survey, as well as obtain information on the public dataset and the dictionaries used in the studies. The main purpose of this study is to combine Turkish SA approaches and methods while briefly explaining its concepts. This survey uniquely categorizes a large number of related articles and visualizes their properties. To the best of our knowledge, there is no such comprehensive and up-to-date survey that strictly covers Turkish SA which mainly concerns analysis of sentiment levels. Furthermore, this survey contributes to the literature due to its unique property of being the first of its kind.
