Recommender systems are being used in streaming service platforms to provide users with personalized suggestions to increase user satisfaction. These recommendations are primarily based on data about the interaction of users with the system; however, other information from the large amounts of media data can be exploited to improve their reliability. In the case of media social data, sentiment analysis of the opinions expressed by users, together with properties of the items they consume, can help gain a better understanding of their preferences. In this study, we present a recommendation approach that integrates sentiment analysis and genre-based similarity in collaborative filtering methods. The proposal involves the use of BERT for genre preprocessing and feature extraction, as well as hybrid deep learning models, for sentiment analysis of user reviews. The approach was evaluated on popular public movie datasets. The experimental results show that the proposed approach significantly improves the recommender system performance.

Recommender systems have been applied in a wide range of domains such as e-commerce, media, banking, and utilities. This kind of system provides personalized suggestions based on large amounts of data to increase user satisfaction. These suggestions help client select products, while organizations can increase the consumption of a product. In the case of social data, sentiment analysis can help gain better understanding of a user’s attitudes, opinions and emotions, which is beneficial to integrate in recommender systems for achieving higher recommendation reliability. On the one hand, this information can be used to complement explicit ratings given to products by users. On the other hand, sentiment analysis of items that can be derived from online news services, blogs, social media or even from the recommender systems themselves is seen as capable of providing better recommendations to users. In this study, we present and evaluate a recommendation approach that integrates sentiment analysis into collaborative filtering methods. The recommender system proposal is based on an adaptive architecture, which includes improved techniques for feature extraction and deep learning models based on sentiment analysis. The results of the empirical study performed with two popular datasets show that sentiment–based deep learning models and collaborative filtering methods can significantly improve the recommender system’s performance.

Sentiment analysis is one of the new absorbing parts appeared in natural language processing with the emergence of community sites on the web. Taking advantage of the amount of information now available, research and industry have been seeking ways to automatically analyze the sentiments expressed in texts. The challenge for this task is the human language ambiguity, and also the lack of labeled data. In order to solve this issue, sentiment analysis and deep learning have been merged as deep learning models are effective due to their automatic learning capability. In this paper, we provide a comparative study on IMDB movie review dataset, we compare word embeddings and further deep learning models on sentiment analysis and give broad empirical outcomes for those keen on taking advantage of deep learning for sentiment analysis in real-world settings.

Deep learning has profoundly impacted many areas of machine learning. However, it took a while for its impact to be felt in the field of recommender systems. In this article, we outline some of the challenges encountered and lessons learned in using deep learning for recommender systems at Netflix. We first provide an overview of the various recommendation tasks on the Netflix service. We found that different model architectures excel at different tasks. Even though many deep-learning models can be understood as extensions of existing (simple) recommendation algorithms, we initially did not observe significant improvements in performance over well-tuned non-deep-learning approaches. Only when we added numerous features of heterogeneous types to the input data, deep-learning models did start to shine in our setting. We also observed that deep-learning methods can exacerbate the problem of offline–online metric (mis-)alignment. After addressing these challenges, deep learning has ultimately resulted in large improvements to our recommendations as measured by both offline and online metrics. On the practical side, integrating deep-learning toolboxes in our system has made it faster and easier to implement and experiment with both deep-learning and non-deep-learning approaches for various recommendation tasks. We conclude this article by summarizing our take-aways that may generalize to other applications beyond Netflix.

Data flow in web is becoming high and vast, extracting useful and meaningful information from the same is especially significant. The extracted information can be utilized for enhanced decision making. The information provided by the end-users is normally in the form of comments with respect to different products and services. Sentiment analysis is effectively carried out in these kinds of compact review to give away the people’s opinion of any products. This analyzed data will be efficient to improve the business strategy. In our work the collected online movie reviews are analyzed by using machine learning sentiment classification models like Random Forest, Naive Bayes, KNN and SVM. The work has been extended with CNN and hybrid CNN-SVM deep learning models to achieve higher performance. Comparing the workings of all the above classification models for sentiment analysis based upon various performance metrics is the main objective of the paper.

In this paper, a sentiment analysis model based on the bi-directional GRU, Attention and Capusle fusion of BI-GRU+Attention+Capsule was designed and implemented based on the sentiment analysis task of the open film review data set IMDB, and combined with the bi-directional GRU, Attention and Capsule. It is compared with six deep learning models, such as LSTM, CNN, GRU, BI-GRU, CNN+GRU and GRU+CNN. The experimental results show that the accuracy of the BI-GRU model combined with Attention and Capusule is higher than the other six models, and the accuracy of the GRU+CNN model is higher than that of the CNN+GRU model, and the accuracy of the CNN+GRU model is higher than that of the CNN model. The accuracy of CNN model was successively higher than that of LSTM, BI-GRU and GRU model. The fusion model of BI-GRU +Attention+Capsule adopted in this paper has the highest accuracy among all the models. In conclusion, the fusion model of BI-GRU+Attention+Capsule effectively improves the accuracy of text sentiment classification.<br>

Amid the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns, the closure of educational institutes leads to an unprecedented rise in online learning. For limiting the impact of COVID-19 and obstructing its widespread, educational institutions closed their campuses immediately and academic activities are moved to e-learning platforms. The effectiveness of e-learning is a critical concern for both students and parents, specifically in terms of its suitability to students and teachers and its technical feasibility with respect to different social scenarios. Such concerns must be reviewed from several aspects before e-learning can be adopted at such a larger scale. This study endeavors to investigate the effectiveness of e-learning by analyzing the sentiments of people about e-learning. Due to the rise of social media as an important mode of communication recently, people’s views can be found on platforms such as Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, etc. This study uses a Twitter dataset containing 17,155 tweets about e-learning. Machine learning and deep learning approaches have shown their suitability, capability, and potential for image processing, object detection, and natural language processing tasks and text analysis is no exception. Machine learning approaches have been largely used both for annotation and text and sentiment analysis. Keeping in view the adequacy and efficacy of machine learning models, this study adopts TextBlob, VADER (Valence Aware Dictionary for Sentiment Reasoning), and SentiWordNet to analyze the polarity and subjectivity score of tweets’ text. Furthermore, bearing in mind the fact that machine learning models display high classification accuracy, various machine learning models have been used for sentiment classification. Two feature extraction techniques, TF-IDF (Term Frequency-Inverse Document Frequency) and BoW (Bag of Words) have been used to effectively build and evaluate the models. All the models have been evaluated in terms of various important performance metrics such as accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score. The results reveal that the random forest and support vector machine classifier achieve the highest accuracy of 0.95 when used with Bow features. Performance comparison is carried out for results of TextBlob, VADER, and SentiWordNet, as well as classification results of machine learning models and deep learning models such as CNN (Convolutional Neural Network), LSTM (Long Short Term Memory), CNN-LSTM, and Bi-LSTM (Bidirectional-LSTM). Additionally, topic modeling is performed to find the problems associated with e-learning which indicates that uncertainty of campus opening date, children’s disabilities to grasp online education, and lagging efficient networks for online education are the top three problems.
