Thematic context vector association based on event uncertainty for Twitter

원문 초록

Keyword extraction is a crucial process in text mining. The extraction of keywords with respective contextual events in Twitter data is a big challenge. The challenging issues are mainly because of the informality in the language used. The use of misspelled words, acronyms, and ambiguous terms causes informality. The extraction of keywords with informal language in current systems is pattern based or event based. In this paper, contextual keywords are extracted using thematic events with the help of data association. The thematic context for events is identified using the uncertainty principle in the proposed system. The thematic contexts are weighed with the help of vectors called thematic context vectors which signifies the event as certain or uncertain. The system is tested on the Twitter COVID-19 dataset and proves to be effective. The system extracts event-specific thematic context vectors from the test dataset and ranks them. The extracted thematic context vectors are used for the clustering of contextual thematic vectors which improves the silhouette coefficient by 0.5% than state of art methods namely TF and TF-IDF. The thematic context vector can be used in other applications like Cyberbullying, sarcasm detection, figurative language detection, etc.
