    An experimental evaluation of prior polarities in sentiment lexicons
    (IEEE, 2017) Kanburoğlu, Ali Buğra; Solak, Ercan
    We present the results of an experiment to assess the validity of prior polarities available in sentiment lexicons. We designed a ranking task that was elicited through pairwise comparisons and compared the results to those predicted by two popular sentiment lexicons. We find that the experiment results show a moderate level of agreement between the lexicons and human judgments.

    Tweet sentiment analysis for cryptocurrencies
    (IEEE, 2021-10-13) Şaşmaz, Emre; Tek, Faik Boray
    Many traders believe in and use Twitter tweets to guide their daily cryptocurrency trading. In this project, we investigated the feasibility of automated sentiment analysis for cryptocurrencies. For the study, we targeted one cryptocurrency (NEO) altcoin and collected related data. The data collection and cleaning were essential components of the study. First, the last five years of daily tweets with NEO hashtags were obtained from Twitter. The collected tweets were then filtered to contain or mention only NEO. We manually tagged a subset of the tweets with positive, negative, and neutral sentiment labels. We trained and tested a Random Forest classifier on the labeled data where the test set accuracy reached 77%. In the second phase of the study, we investigated whether the daily sentiment of the tweets was correlated with the NEO price. We found positive correlations between the number of tweets and the daily prices, and between the prices of different crypto coins. We share the data publicly.

    Comparing pre-trained and fine-tuned transformer-based models for sentiment analysis in Turkish comments in student surveys
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2025-08-15) Pourjalil, Kajal; Ekin, Emine; Recal, Füsun
    Student surveys are essential for evaluating teaching quality and course content, but analyzing open-ended responses is challenging due to their unstructured and multilingual nature. This study applies sentiment analysis to Turkish educational survey responses using three transformer-based models: SAVASY, DBMDZ BERT Base Turkish Cased, and XLM-RoBERTa Base. A labeled dataset of real-world student comments was used, with sentiment labels assigned using the Gemini AI tool to facilitate model fine-tuning. Evaluation metrics included accuracy, F1-score, precision, recall, and confidence scores. Results show that fine-tuning improves sentiment classification, effectively identifying positive, negative, and neutral sentiments. This highlights the value of transformer models in analyzing Turkish student feedback.
