  Title Mapping moods: Geo-mapped sentiment analysis during hurricane sandy Type Conference Article
  Year 2014 Publication ISCRAM 2014 Conference Proceedings – 11th International Conference on Information Systems for Crisis Response and Management Abbreviated Journal ISCRAM 2014  
  Volume Issue Pages 642-651  
  Keywords Data mining; Disasters; Hurricanes; Information systems; Disaster-related geo-tagged tweets; Online reviews; Online social networkings; Sentiment analysis; Sentiment classification; Social networking sites; Social networking (online)  
  Abstract Sentiment analysis has been widely researched in the domain of online review sites with the aim of generating summarized opinions of product users about different aspects of the products. However, there has been little work focusing on identifying the polarity of sentiments expressed by users during disaster events. Identifying sentiments expressed by users in an online social networking site can help understand the dynamics of the network, e.g., the main users' concerns, panics, and the emotional impacts of interactions among members. Data produced through social networking sites is seen as ubiquitous, rapid and accessible, and it is believed to empower average citizens to become more situationally aware during disasters and coordinate to help themselves. In this work, we perform sentiment classification of user posts in Twitter during the Hurricane Sandy and visualize these sentiments on a geographical map centered around the hurricane. We show how users' sentiments change according not only to users' locations, but also based on the distance from the disaster.

  Title Parler, Capitol Riots, Alt-Right and Radicalization in Social Media Type Conference Article
  Year 2023 Publication Proceedings of the ISCRAM Asia Pacific Conference 2022 Abbreviated Journal Proc. ISCRAM AP 2022  
  Volume Issue Pages 268-277  
  Keywords Social Media; Parler; Sentiment Analysis; Alt-Right  
  Abstract Social media platforms have risen in popularity since their inception. These platforms have since then come to be at the forefront of controversies, from being accused of election interference to, more recently, disseminating fake news and campaigns to sway political behavior. One such episode took place on January 6 when a group of individuals stormed the United States Capitol, and the social media platform Parler came under scrutiny. The platform was accused of being a place for right-wing extremists and Trump supporters who claimed the 2020 election was fraudulent. Initial reports suggested these individuals used Parler to organize and call others to action. This paper explores the feasibility of using social media to detect alt-right radicalization and examines its possible relation to the Capitol Insurrection and Parler. Moreover, we examine if those events could have been detected and averted through the investigation of the platform.

  Title Sydney Siege, December 2014: A Visualisation of a Semantic Social Media Sentiment Analysis Type Conference Article
  Year 2018 Publication ISCRAM 2018 Conference Proceedings – 15th International Conference on Information Systems for Crisis Response and Management Abbreviated Journal Iscram 2018  
  Volume Issue Pages 493-506  
  Keywords Social Media, Sentiment Analysis, Systemic Functional Linguistics, Extreme Events, Crisis Communication  
  Abstract Sentiment Analyses are widely used approaches to understand and identify emotions, feelings, and opinion on social media platforms. Most sentiment analysis systems measure the presumed emotional polarity of texts. While this is sufficient for some applications, these approaches are very limiting when it comes to understanding how social media users actually use language resources to make sense of extreme events. In this paper, a Sentiment Analysis based on the Appraisal System from the theory of communication called Systemic Functional Linguistics is applied to understand the sentiment of event-driven social media communication. A prototype was developed to analyze Twitter data using the Appraisal System. This prototype was applied to tweets collected during and after the Sydney Siege 2014, a hostage situation in a busy café in Sydney. Because the Appraisal System is a theorised functional communication method, the results of this analysis are more nuanced than is possible with traditional polarity based sentiment analysis.

  Title New Zealand COVID Tracer App: Understanding Usage and User Sentiments Type Conference Article
  Year 2023 Publication Proceedings of the ISCRAM Asia Pacific Conference 2022 Abbreviated Journal Proc. ISCRAM AP 2022  
  Volume Issue Pages 89-102  
  Keywords Mobile Apps; COVID-19 Response; Sentiment Analysis; User Reviews; App Store Data  
  Abstract The NZ COVID Tracer app is a part of Aotearoa New Zealand (NZ) Government’s strategy to manage the COVID-19 pandemic. This paper investigates people’s usage and sentiment on the app from its release in May 2020 to the end of 2021. Descriptive analysis of app data and sentiment analysis on user review data were used. The results show that before March 2021, the overall sentiment on the app was negative but gradually improved over time. The passive Bluetooth-tracing feature is utilised more consistently than the anual features. However, the increased proportion of positive sentiments is seen to increase with active app use. Results highlight the consistency of the Bluetooth-tracing feature but do not discredit the importance of manual interaction, as active use can improve the perception of the app. Insights from this study will be helpful as apps adapt to the changing context of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

  Title Analyzing Social Media in Crisis Management Using Expertise Feedback Modelling Type Conference Article
  Year 2021 Publication ISCRAM 2021 Conference Proceedings – 18th International Conference on Information Systems for Crisis Response and Management Abbreviated Journal Iscram 2021  
  Volume Issue Pages 17-27  
  Keywords Social Media analysis, TextMining, sentiment analysis, crisis management, decision making  
  Abstract Currently social media are largely used in interactions, especially in crisis situations. We note a big volume of interactions around events. Observing these interactions give information even to alert the existence of an incident, event, or to understand the expansion of a problem. Crisis management actors observe social media to be aware about this type of information in order to consider them in their decisions. Specific organizations are founded in order to observe social media interactions and send their analysis to rescue and crisis management actors. In our work, an experience feedback of this type of organizations (VISOV, a crisis social media analysis association) is capitalized in order to emphasize from one side, main dimensions of this analysis and from another side, to simulate some aspects using TextMining that help to explore big volume of data.

  Title An Exploration of Methods Using Social Media to Examine Local Attitudes Towards Mask-Wearing During a Pandemic Type Conference Article
  Year 2021 Publication ISCRAM 2021 Conference Proceedings – 18th International Conference on Information Systems for Crisis Response and Management Abbreviated Journal Iscram 2021  
  Volume Issue Pages 345-358  
  Keywords Social media analytics, situational awareness, sentiment analysis, n-grams, social network analysis  
  Abstract During the COVID-19 health crisis, local public offcials expend considerable energy encouraging citizens to comply with prevention measures in order to reduce the spread of infection. During the pandemic, mask-wearing has been accepted among health offcials as a simple preventative measure; however, some local areas have been more likely to comply than others. This paper explores methods to better understand local attitudes towards mask-wearing as a tool for public health offcials' situational awareness when preparing public messaging campaigns. This exploration compares three methods to explore local attitudes: sentiment analysis, n-grams, and hashtags. We also explore hashtag co-occurrence networks as a starting point to begin the filtering process. The results show that while sentiment analysis is quick and easy to employ, the results oer little insight into specific local attitudes towards mask-wearing, while examining hashtags and hashtag co-occurrence networks may be used a tool for a more robust understanding of local areas when attempting to gain situational awareness.

  Title A fine-grained sentiment analysis approach for detecting crisis related microposts Type Conference Article
  Year 2013 Publication ISCRAM 2013 Conference Proceedings – 10th International Conference on Information Systems for Crisis Response and Management Abbreviated Journal ISCRAM 2013  
  Volume Issue Pages 846-851  
  Keywords Artificial intelligence; Information systems; Learning systems; Risk management; Social networking (online); Amount of information; Emergency management; Microposts; Real-time information; Sentiment analysis; Situational awareness; Systematic evaluation; Twitter; Data mining  
  Abstract Real-time information from microposts like Twitter is useful for applications in the crisis management domain. Currently, that potentially valuable information remains mostly unused by the command staff, mainly because the sheer amount of information cannot be handled efficiently. Sentiment analysis has been shown as an effective tool to detect microposts (such as tweets) that contribute to situational awareness. However, current approaches only focus on two or three emotion classes. But using only tweets with negative emotions for crisis management is not always sufficient. The amount of remaining information is still not manageable or most of the tweets are irrelevant. Thus, a more fine-grained differentiation is needed to identify relevant microposts. In this paper, we show the systematic evaluation of an approach for sentiment analysis on microposts that allows detecting seven emotion classes. A preliminary evaluation of our approach in a crisis related scenario demonstrates the applicability and usefulness.

  Title Detecting public sentiment over PM2.5 pollution hazards through analysis of Chinese microblog Type Conference Article
  Year 2014 Publication ISCRAM 2014 Conference Proceedings – 11th International Conference on Information Systems for Crisis Response and Management Abbreviated Journal ISCRAM 2014  
  Volume Issue Pages 722-726  
  Keywords Air pollution; Information systems; Time series analysis; Crisis; Pm2.5; Public opinions; Sentiment analysis; Social media analysis; Social aspects  
  Abstract Decision-making in crisis management can benefit from routine monitoring of the (social) media to discover the mass opinion on highly sensitive crisis events. We present an experiment that analyzes Chinese microblog data (extracted from Weibo.cn) to measure sentiment strength and its change in relation to the recent PM 2.5 air pollution events. The data were analyzed using SentiStrength algorithm together with a special sentiment words dictionary tailored and refined for Chinese language. The results of time series analysis on detected sentiment strength showed that less than one percent of the posts are strong-positive or strong negative. Weekly sentiment strength measures show symmetric changes in positive and negative strength, but overall trend moved towards more positive opinions. Special attention was given to sharp bursts of sentiment strength that coincide temporally with the occurrence of extreme social events. These findings suggest that sentiment strength analysis may generate useful alert and awareness of pending extreme social events.

  Title Sentiment analysis of German social media data for natural disasters Type Conference Article
  Year 2014 Publication ISCRAM 2014 Conference Proceedings – 11th International Conference on Information Systems for Crisis Response and Management Abbreviated Journal ISCRAM 2014  
  Volume Issue Pages 752-756  
  Keywords Disasters; Information systems; First responders; Integral part; Media analysis; Multiple languages; Natural disasters; Sentiment analysis; Social media; Social media datum; Data mining  
  Abstract Analysis of social media and traditional media provides significant information to first responders in times of natural disasters. Sentiment analysis, particularly of social media originating from the affected population, forms an integral part of multifaceted media analysis. The current paper extends an existing methodology to the domain of natural disasters, broadens the support of multiple languages and introduces a new manner of classification. The performance of the approach is evaluated on a recently collected dataset manually annotated by three human annotators as a reference. The experiments show a high agreement rate between the approach taken and the annotators. Furthermore, the paper presents the initial application of the resulting technology and models to sentiment analysis of social media data in German, covering data collected during the Central European floods of 2013.
