Data mining twitter for COVID-19 sentiments concerning college online education

In the last decade there has been a large increase in corporate and public reliance on social media for information, rather than on the traditional news and information sources such as print and broadcast media. People freely express their views, moods, activities, likes/dislikes on social media about diverse topics. Rather than surveys and other structured data gathering methods, text data mining is now commonly used by businesses to go through their unstructured text in the form of emails, blogs, tweets, likes, etc. to find out how their customers feel about their company and their products/services. This paper reports upon a study using Twitter (recently renamed to “X”) data to determine if meaningful and actionable information could be gained from such social media data in regard to pandemic issues and how that information compares to a traditional survey. In early 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic hit and forced colleges to move classes to an online format. While there is considerable literature in regard to using social media to communicate geo-political issues and in particular pandemics, there is not a study using social media to explore public sentiment in regard to COVID’s forcing online education upon the public. In this study, text data mining was used to gain some insight into the feeling of Twitter users in regard to the effect of COVID-19 and the switch to online education in colleges. This study found that Twitter data mining did produce actionable information similar to the traditional survey, and the study is important since its results may influence organizations to explore the use of Twitter (and possibly other social media) to obtain people’s sentiments instead of (or in addition to) traditional surveys and other traditional means of gathering such information. This paper demonstrates both the process of text data mining social media and its application to current real-world issues.

An Exhaustive Review of Neutrosophic Logic in Addressing Image Processing Issues


 Since the importance of images in our lives and the advancements in computer data gathering methods, anyone can collect a large number of images, but most of them cannot be processed manually. Image processing therefore becomes appealing since various types of data may be represented and processed digitally. Image processing has become the most popular processing method, employed in security camera films, healthcare images, images from remote sensors, and naturalistic image/videos because of fast computers and processors. In order to raise cognitive function and speed up decision-making, image processing is crucial to many information access systems. Since ambiguity now permeates every part of the world, including images, discussing the neutrosophic logic forms the central idea of this discussion, as it is able to handle this ambiguity. To apply the neutrosophic logic, this requires converting the image into neutrosophic reasoning. When using neutrosophic reasoning for image retrieval, average recall and precision measures improve over other approaches. As the image processing field covers several tracks such as image segmentation, noise reduction, image classification, and others. Because there are so many research articles published in this field every year, we thought it would be appropriate to introduce a survey study on this subject. As a result, this study offers a comprehensive assessment of the literature on applying neutrosophic logic to image processing problems that have surfaced during the previous five years (2019–2023).
