Abstract [en]

Analyzing conversational behavior is a primary task in the field of sentiment analysis. Different researchers have proposed their models to perform the sentiment analysis of social media discussions. Existing approaches mainly studying the conversational behavior based on the text in the conversation. In any discussion, the users could have different viewpoints about the topic of conversation. A user can agree or disagree on the topic of discussion. Agreement of a user to the topic is called a stance, and if the user disagrees to the topic, we refer it as disagreement. The classification of the users based on stance and disagreement is not a well-researched area, and need to be explored further. In this work, we have proposed a computational model to classify the members according to stance or disagreement. The proposed model uses the novel approach, and it is a hybrid of topic modeling and VADER (Valence Aware Dictionary and sEntiment Reasoner). To evaluate the proposed model, we have conducted an experiment, and we did use the WhatsApp group discussion, Facebook comments as a dataset. We also compared the proposed model with two baseline approach, topic modeling, and VADER. From the results, we can conclude that the proposed model can effectively classify social media users based on disagreement and stance. © 2020, Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.
