Directed Social Regard: Surfacing Targeted Advocacy, Opposition, Aid, Harms, and Victimization in Online Media

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

Researchers have developed a new approach called Directed Social Regard (DSR) to analyze sentiment in online text. Unlike traditional sentiment analysis tools that provide a single positive, neutral, or negative score, DSR can identify multiple sentiments within a single message and pinpoint their targets. This method utilizes a pair of transformer-based models to detect sentiment targets and score them across three axes, offering a more nuanced understanding of online communication. AI

IMPACT Offers a more granular analysis of online sentiment, potentially improving understanding of influence operations and online discourse.
