Natural Language Processing for Social Media Analytics: A Deep Learning Approach

Abstract

This study explores the effectiveness of deep learning approaches in natural language processing (NLP) for social media analytics. Specifically, we compare the performance of three deep learning models, recurrent neural networks (RNNs), convolutional neural networks (CNNs), and long short-term memory (LSTM) networks, in analyzing a large dataset of tweets from Twitter. Our results show that all three models performed well in analyzing social media data, with LSTM networks achieving the highest accuracy rate of over 90%. We also found that data preprocessing techniques, such as text normalization and tokenization, were critical factors in improving the performance of the models. This study provides valuable insights into the use of deep learning for NLP tasks in social media analytics and highlights the importance of selecting the appropriate model and data preprocessing techniques to achieve optimal results.
