Most focus on content information and use models such as convolutional neural networks (CNN) BIBREF3 or recursive neural networks BIBREF4 . However, for user-generated posts on social media like Facebook or Twitter, there is more information that should not be ignored. On social media platforms, a user can act either as the author of a post or as a reader who expresses his or her comments about the post.
In this paper, we classify posts taking into account post authorship, likes, topics, and comments. In particular, users and their “likes” hold strong potential for text mining. For example, given a set of posts that are related to a specific topic, a user's likes and dislikes provide clues for stance labeling. From a user point of view, users with positive attitudes toward the issue leave positive comments on the posts with praise or even just the post's content; from a post point of view, positive posts attract users who hold positive stances. We also investigate the influence of topics: different topics are associated with different stance labeling tendencies and word usage. For example we discuss women's rights and unwanted babies on the topic of abortion, but we criticize medicine usage or crime when on the topic of marijuana BIBREF5 . Even for posts on a specific topic like nuclear power, a variety of arguments are raised: green energy, radiation, air pollution, and so on. As for comments, we treat them as additional text information. The arguments in the comments and the commenters (the users who leave the comments) provide hints on the post's content and further facilitate stance classification.
In this paper, we propose the user-topic-comment neural network (UTCNN), a deep learning model that utilizes user, topic, and comment information. We attempt to learn user and topic representations which encode user interactions and topic influences to further enhance text classification, and we also incorporate comment information. We evaluate this model on a post stance classification task on forum-style social media platforms. The contributions of this paper are as follows: 1. We propose UTCNN, a neural network for text in modern social media channels as well as legacy social media, forums, and message boards — anywhere that reveals users, their tastes, as well as their replies to posts. 2. When classifying social media post stances, we leverage users, including authors and likers. User embeddings can be generated even for users who have never posted anything. 3. We incorporate a topic model to automatically assign topics to each post in a single topic dataset. 4. We show that overall, the proposed method achieves the highest performance in all instances, and that all of the information extracted, whether users, topics, or comments, still has its contributions.
In this paper, we propose the user-topic-comment neural network (UTCNN), a deep learning model that utilizes user, topic, and comment information.
Answer: User, topic, and comment information.
