Sentiment Analysis and Opinion Mining

Dear Colleagues,

Understanding public opinions and accompanied sentiments towards many of today’s complex issues, such as politics, economics, and public health emergencies (e.g., the current COVID-19 pandemic), is paramount to effectively and efficiently extract key insights from the public, develop corresponding actions, and cope with various types of misinformation surrounding these issues.

Recent advances in deep learning (DL), natural language processing (NLP), and computational linguistics have made significant contributions to opinion mining and sentiment analysis. We are pleased to invite you to contribute to this Special Issue of Sentiment Analysis and Opinion Mining, which aims to further leverage our scientific understanding and technical advances of public opinions and sentiments, especially from large online datasets (e.g., social media), via novel computational techniques.

In this Special Issue of Sentiment Analysis and Opinion Mining, we welcome original research articles and reviews, which may focus on the following research areas:

• Data mining;
• Opinion mining;
• Sentiment analysis;
• Social media analytics;
• Natural language processing (NLP) ;
• Computational linguistics;
• Web mining;
• Deep learning.

I look forward to receiving your contributions.

Dr. Shi Chen
Guest Editor
