摘要:

在COVID-19疫情爆发期间,社交网络成为沟通、社交讨论及娱乐的卓越媒介。社交网络用户经常表达他们对冠状病毒大流行影响的看法。因此,社交网络是研究疫情期间用户讨论的话题、情绪和态度的可靠来源。在本文中,我们调查了人们对社交媒体平台上提出的话题的反应和态度。我们从Twitter和Instagram收集了两个大规模COVID-19数据集的数据,分别为期六个月和三个月。本文从情感分析、话题检测、情感和时空特征等方面分析了社交网络用户的反应。我们发现,社交媒体上的主要情绪反应是中性的,而社交网络用户讨论最多的话题是关于健康问题。该文件审查了吸引更多帖子和人们反应的国家,以及在提及最多的国家中讨论的健康相关主题的分布情况。我们揭示了国家主题的时间转移。我们的研究结果表明,来自上述国家的帖子比来自世界其他地区的帖子在全球范围内影响和吸引更多的反应。

英文摘要:

During the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, social networks become the preeminent medium for communication, social discussion, and entertainment. Social network users are regularly expressing their opinions about the impacts of the coronavirus pandemic. Therefore, social networks serve as a reliable source for studying the topics, emotions, and attitudes of users that are discussed during the pandemic. In this paper, we investigate the reactions and attitudes of people towards topics raised on social media platforms. We collected data of two large-scale COVID-19 datasets from Twitter and Instagram for six and three months, respectively. The paper analyzes the reaction of social network users on different aspects including sentiment analysis, topics detection, emotions, and geo-temporal characteristics of our dataset. We show that the dominant sentiment reactions on social media are neutral while the most discussed topics by social network users are about health issues. The paper examines the countries that attracted more posts and reactions from people, as well as the distribution of health-related topics discussed in the most mentioned countries. We shed light on the temporal shift of topics over countries. Our results show that posts from the top-mentioned countries influence and attract more reaction worldwide than posts from other parts of the world.
