Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

The amount and variety of data generated through social media sites has increased along with the widespread use of social media sites. In addition, the data production rate has increased in the same way. The inclusion of personal information within these data makes it important to process the data and reach meaningful information within it. This process can be called intelligence and this meaningful information may be for commercial, academic, or security purposes. An example application is developed in this study for intelligence on Twitter. Crimes in Turkey are classified according to Turkish Statistical Institute criminal data and keywords are …


A Hybrid Sentiment Analysis Method For Turkish, Buket Erşahi̇n, Özlem Aktaş, Deni̇z Kilinç, Mustafa Erşahi̇n Jan 2019

A Hybrid Sentiment Analysis Method For Turkish, Buket Erşahi̇n, Özlem Aktaş, Deni̇z Kilinç, Mustafa Erşahi̇n

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

This paper presents a hybrid methodology for Turkish sentiment analysis, which combines the lexicon-based and machine learning (ML)-based approaches. On the lexicon-based side, we use a sentiment dictionary that is extended with a synonyms lexicon. Besides this, we tackle the classification problem with three supervised classifiers, naive Bayes, support vector machines, and J48, on the ML side. Our hybrid methodology combines these two approaches by generating a new lexicon-based value according to our feature generation algorithm and feeds it as one of the features to machine learning classifiers. Despite the linguistic challenges caused by the morphological structure of Turkish, the …

Refugees' Social Media Activities In Turkey: A Computational Analysis And Demonstration Method, Muhammed Abdullah Bülbül, Salah Haj Ismail

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

This study performs a data analysis on refugees in Turkey based on their social media activities. In order to achieve this, we first propose a method to find their relevant public accounts and collect their activities generating a dataset. Then, we perform spatial and temporal analysis over this dataset to shed light on the most important topics and events discussed in social networks. We present the results graphically for ease of understanding and comparison. Our results indicate that we can reveal the most shared topics over a specific time and place as well as the change of pattern in refugees' …
