Automatic Stance Detection for Twitter Data

Abstract

Stance detection is a measure to understand the user view over the content posted on social media. Research associated with stance detection also includes modeling text to identify trends, opinions, feedback, reviews, and political alignment of users on social media. This paper focuses on identifying user stance for the 2019 Indian General election. We collected the data with a hashtag search. We have applied machine learning classifier and neural network approaches to detect user stance.
