Detection of COVID-19 Anti-Vaccination from Twitter Data Using Deep Learning and Feature Selection Approaches

Öz

The COVID-19 pandemic has evolved into a crisis significantly impacting health, the economy, and social life worldwide. During this crisis, anti-vaccination sentiment poses a considerable obstacle to controlling the epidemic and the effectiveness of vaccination campaigns. This study aimed to detect COVID-19 anti-vaccination sentiment from Twitter data using a combination of deep learning and feature selection approaches. The proposed method integrates a deep learning model with feature selection techniques to identify anti-vaccination sentiment by pinpointing important features in text data. Hybrid TF-IDF and N-gram methods were utilized for feature extraction, followed by Chi-square feature selection. The dataset comprises Twitter text data and two labels. The Synthetic Minority Oversampling Technique (SMOTE) was applied to balance the labels. Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), a deep learning architecture, was employed for the classification process. The experimental results, obtained by leveraging the proposed feature extraction, feature selection, and LSTM methods, achieved the highest accuracy value of 99.23%. These findings demonstrate the proposed methods' success in effectively detecting COVID-19 anti-vaccination sentiment in text data. The study's results can offer valuable insights for developing health policies and public information strategies, presenting a new and powerful tool for detecting anti-vaccine sentiment in planning vaccination campaigns and public health interventions.
