Beyond Negativity: Re-Analysis and Follow-Up Experiments on Hope Speech Detection

원문 초록

Health experts assert that hope plays a crucial role in enhancing individuals' physical and mental well-being, facilitating their recovery, and promoting restoration. Hope speech refers to comments, posts and other social media messages that offer support, reassurance, suggestions, inspiration, and insight. The detection of hope speech involves the analysis of such textual content, with the aim of identifying messages that invoke positive emotions in people. Our study aims to find computationally efficient yet comparable/superior methods for hope speech detection. We also make our codebase public at https://github.com/aflah02/Hope_Speech_Detection
