Abstract

Nuclear energy is one of controversial topics that affects people’s lives, and it is important for policy makers to analyze what people feel towards the subject. But manual analysis of related user-generated contents on social media platforms is a daunting task, and automatic data analysis and visualization come to help. So, in this research, we firstly developed a model for classifying the emotion of nuclear energy related tweets and another model for the aspect-based sentiment analysis of nuclear energy tweets using the BERT (Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers). After that, we developed a prototype system for visualization of the analyzed results stored in the database. The user interface dashboards of the system allow users to monitor emotion and sentiment trends towards nuclear energy by analyzing recent nuclear energy tweets crawled weekly.
