提取和分类南非公众对COVID-19的反应-一项社会媒体研究
Extracting and categorising the reactions to COVID-19 by the South African public -- A social media study
摘要：
社交媒体可用于在灾难期间提取讨论主题。随着COVID-19疫情对南非的影响，我们需要了解政府为应对疫情而颁布的法律法规与社交媒体用户一直参与的讨论话题的对比。在这项工作中，我们通过使用由南非政府官员驱动或针对南非政府官员的社交媒体讨论来扩展传统媒体分析。我们发现，在某些情况下，主题是相似的，以及不同的。这些发现可以为南非及其他地区在灾难环境中对社交媒体的进一步研究提供信息。本文为未来的分析提供了一个框架，以了解大流行期间公众的意见，以及如何[以半自动化的方式]提取这些意见，为未来的政府沟通提供信息。
英文摘要：
Social Media can be used to extract discussion topics during a disaster. With the COVID-19 pandemic impact on South Africa, we need to understand how the law and regulation promulgated by the government in response to the pandemic contrasts with discussion topics social media users have been engaging in. In this work, we expand on traditional media analysis by using Social Media discussions driven by or directed to South African government officials. We find topics that are similar as well as different in some cases. The findings can inform further study into social media during disaster settings in South Africa and beyond. This paper sets a framework for future analysis in understanding the opinions of the public during a pandemic and how these opinions can be distilled [in a semi-automated approach] to inform government communication in the future.
