COVID-19 vaccine rejection causes based on Twitter people's opinions analysis using Deep Learning
AI- Research paper - Master's thesis
Aim to understand of people’s perceptions of the COVID-19 vaccine to help the organizations and companies who manufacture the vaccine improve their marketing strategy based on the rejection causes. We conducted this study to use Sentiment Analysis to classify people’s opinions from extracted tweets about COVID-19 vaccines into positive, negative, or neutral opinions, using several machine learning classifiers like Logistic Regression,
Stochastic Gradient Descent , Support Vector Machine, K-Nearest Neighbors, Decision Tree, Random Forest, XGBoost and Multinomial Naïve Bayes , and several deep learning models like Recurrent Neural Network (RNN), Long Short Term Memory (LSTM), Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU), RNN-LSTM and RNN-GRU. Then, we analyzed the negative tweets to identify the causes for rejecting the vaccine using topic modeling with Latent Dirichlet Allocation technique. Finally, we classified these negative tweets according to the obtained rejection causes for all the vaccines using the same ML and DL models.
