Summary

The meteoric proliferation of opinions on the Internet has led to need of analysis and processing techniques to truly comprehend the subjective perceptions of users. Opinion Mining and Affective Computing have emerged as two areas able to deal with the discovery of sentiments, beliefs, attitudes and emotions, which are the key to many new systems such as customized recommendation systems, mental health prevention systems, marketing analysis dashboards, disinformation detection, etc.


The motivation of this Special Issue stems from the inherent challenges in creating technologies, techniques, and resources on Opinion Mining and Affective Computing based on the most recent technologies on Artificial Intelligence and Natural Language Processing such as Deep Learning, Large Language Models, or Explainability. The topics covered by this Special Issue are (but not limited):

· Disinformation, misinformation, malinformation

· Explainable sentiment and emotion analysis

· Large language models for sentiment and emotion detection

· Deep Learning architectures for sentiment and emotion classification

· Aspect-based Opinion Mining

· Multi-modal opinion analysis

· Hatred detection

· Resources Opinion Mining and Affective Computing

· Applications on Opinion Mining and Affective Computing


Keywords

Explainable opinion mining; Aspect-based opinion mining; Disinformation; Large language models; Hatred detection

    Abstract With the rapid expansion of social media, analyzing emotions and their causes in texts has gained significant importance. Emotion-cause pair extraction enables the identification of causal relationships between emotions and their triggers within a text, facilitating a deeper understanding of expressed sentiments and their underlying reasons. This comprehension is crucial for making informed strategic decisions in various business and societal contexts. However, recent research approaches employing multi-task learning frameworks for modeling often face challenges such as the inability to simultaneously model extracted features and their interactions, or inconsistencies in label prediction between emotion-cause pair extraction… More >
