Hybrid approach for tweets similarity classification founded on case based reasoning and machine learning techniques

Abstract

Twitter sentiment analysis becomes a popular research subject in the last decade. It aims to extract sentiments of users through their public opinion about a given topic. This article proposes a hybrid approach for Twitter sentiment analysis founded on dynamic case based reasoning (DCBR), multinomial logistic regression machine learning algorithm and multi-agent system. Our approach proposes a method to find similar tweets based on content similarity measure using the scientific measurement of keyword weight term frequency-inverse document frequency (TF-IDF). This approach includes gathering and pre-processing tweets, getting score and polarity of tweets, the use of multinomial logistic regression machine learning algorithm to classify our tweets into various classes, using the feature extraction method to extract useful features and then the K-nearest neighbors (KNN) algorithm to make it easier to find similar tweets to our tweet target case. This approach is adaptive and generic and able to track users' tweet to predict their behavior and sentiments in critical situations and delivering personalized content. The current study focuses on Covid-19 tweets, and a public Twitter dataset is used for this purpose.
