    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.

    Multi-task learning on mental disorder detection, sentiment analysis, and emotion detection using social media posts
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2024) Armah, Courage; Dehkharghani, Rahim
    Mental disorders such as suicidal behavior, bipolar disorder, depressive disorders, and anxiety have been diagnosed among the youth recently. Social media platforms such as Reddit have become popular for anonymous posts. People are far more likely to share on these social media platforms what they really feel like in their real lives when they are anonymous. It is thus helpful to extract people's sentiments and feelings from these platforms in training models for mental disorder detection. This study uses multi-task learning techniques to examine the estimation of behaviors and mental states for early mental disease diagnosis. We propose a multi-task system trained on three related tasks: mental disorder detection as the primary task, emotion analysis, and sentiment analysis as auxiliary tasks. We took the SWMH dataset, which included four main different mental disorders already labeled (bipolar, depression, anxiety, and suicide) and offmychest. We then added labels for emotion and sentiment to the dataset. The observed results are comparable to previous studies in the field and demonstrate that deep learning multi-task frameworks can improve the accuracy of related text classification tasks when compared to training them separately as single-task systems.

    Sentiment analysis for hotel reviews in Turkish by using LLMs
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2024) Özdemir, Ata Onur; Giritli, Efe Batur; Can, Yekta Said
    The field of sentiment analysis plays a pivotal role in consumer decision-making and service quality improvement within the hospitality industry. This study explores the application of Large Language Models (LLMs) for sentiment analysis of Turkish hotel reviews, contributing to the understanding of customer feedback and satisfaction. We created a dataset of 5,000 reviews by translating an English corpus into Turkish, which was then utilized to evaluate the performance of a state-of-the-art Turkish language model, TURNA. The study demonstrates that LLMs, particularly TURNA, outperform traditional machine learning algorithms and other advanced models in sentiment classification tasks, achieving an accuracy of 99.4%. This research underscores the potential of LLMs to enhance the accuracy of sentiment analysis, offering valuable insights for the tourism and hospitality sectors. The findings contribute to the ongoing evolution of sentiment analysis methodologies and suggest that LLMs can significantly improve t he understanding a nd processing of customer feedback in Turkish hotel reviews.

    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.
