Using Sentiment And Emotion Analysis Of News Articles To Analyze The Effects Of Leader’S Statements On Covid-19 Spread, Poojitha Thota May 2021

Using Sentiment And Emotion Analysis Of News Articles To Analyze The Effects Of Leader’S Statements On Covid-19 Spread, Poojitha Thota

Computer Science and Engineering Theses

Leaders generally include government officials, politicians, etc. Their statements can highly affect people’s decisions in many ways. Currently, in the pandemic situation, many statements were being passed every hour and day, which showed an impact on the spread of corona virus cases at certain location. So, this paper proposes a supervised model to analyze the variations of COVID-19 data based upon the leader’s statements passed at certain time and location. The proposed methodology consists of sentiment and emotion analysis for the leader’s statements to determine the true intentions of the leader. The leader’s statements are a collection of data obtained …

COVID-19 pandemic has revealed a pressing need for an effective surveillance system to control the spread of infection. However, the existing systems are run by the people’s smartphones and without a strong participation from the people, the systems become ineffective. Moreover, these systems can be misused to spy on people and breach their privacy. Due to recent privacy breaches, people became anxious about their privacy, and without privacy reassurance, the people may not accept the systems. In this paper, we propose a non-participatory privacy-preserving surveillance system for COVID-19-like pandemics. The system aims to control the spread of COVID-19 infection without …


Geometry Aided Sonification, Michael Tecce Jul 2020

Geometry Aided Sonification, Michael Tecce

Computer Science Summer Fellows

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 …
