Sentiment Analysis Before And During The Covid-19 Pandemic, Emily Musgrove Jul 2023

Sentiment Analysis Before And During The Covid-19 Pandemic, Emily Musgrove

Mathematics Summer Fellows

This study examines the change in connotative language use before and during the Covid-19 pandemic. By analyzing news articles from several major US newspapers, we found that there is a statistically significant correlation between the sentiment of the text and the publication period. Specifically, we document a large, systematic, and statistically significant decline in the overall sentiment of articles published in major news outlets. While our results do not directly gauge the sentiment of the population, our findings have important implications regarding the social responsibility of journalists and media outlets especially in times of crisis.


Nviz: Unraveling Neural Networks Through Visualization, Kevin Hoffman Apr 2023

Nviz: Unraveling Neural Networks Through Visualization, Kevin Hoffman

Mathematics and Computer Science Presentations

The growing utility of artificial intelligence (AI) is attributed to the development of neural networks. These networks are a class of models that make predictions based on previously observed data. While the inferential power of neural networks is great, the ability to explain their results is difficult because the underlying model is automatically generated. The AI community commonly refers to neural networks as black boxes because the patterns they learn from the data are not easily understood. This project aims to improve the visibility of patterns that neural networks identify in data. Through an interactive web application, NVIZ affords the …


R Text Analysis For Adam Smith Cie Selected Works, Charlotte Grahame Apr 2023

R Text Analysis For Adam Smith Cie Selected Works, Charlotte Grahame

Mathematics and Computer Science Presentations

Text mining and text analysis is a way of understanding text documents using r coding that is more frequently used for numbered data. It helps with understanding portions of the text and drawing conclusions from there. This research looks specifically at the Adam Smith required documents that are used in the CIE course designated for freshmen. It looks at sentiments of the documents, including word sentiment, sentence sentiment, page and overall document sentiment as well. It provides visuals of word clouds to portray word frequency, tf-idf (which is explained in the presentation) and bigram analysis.


Cie Text Analysis: Narrative Of The Life Of Frederick Douglass, The Declaration Of Independence, And The Declaration Of Sentiments, Arianna Knipe Apr 2023

Cie Text Analysis: Narrative Of The Life Of Frederick Douglass, The Declaration Of Independence, And The Declaration Of Sentiments, Arianna Knipe

Mathematics and Computer Science Presentations

Our STAT-451 class has worked with analyzing the words from CIE texts and assigning them to a sentiment or feeling and comparing them with one another using RStudio. This project analyzes texts from three sources: The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, The Declaration of Independence and the Declaration of Sentiments.


Geometry Aided Sonification, Michael Tecce Jul 2020

Geometry Aided Sonification, Michael Tecce

Mathematics and Computer Science Presentations

Sonification is the process of deriving an audio representation of a time series which conveys important information about that time series. Otology and vision science have established that humans process audio information more quickly than visual information, and sonification can convey data to the visually impaired. In our work, we implement pipelines using Python/Numpy, and we handle both ordinary 1D time series and multivariate time series. For 1D time series, we find that using data to modulate the pitch or timing of preselected sounds (such as sine waves) simply and effectively captures repeating patterns and anomalies/outliers within the data. To …
