TI - Deer Hunting Optimization with Deep Learning Enabled Emotion Classification on English Twitter Data T2 - Computer Systems Science and Engineering PY - 2023 VL - 47 IS - 3 SN - AB - Currently, individuals use online social media, namely Facebook or Twitter, for sharing their thoughts and emotions. Detection of emotions on social networking sites’ finds useful in several applications in social welfare, commerce, public health, and so on. Emotion is expressed in several means, like facial and speech expressions, gestures, and written text. Emotion recognition in a text document is a content-based classification problem that includes notions from deep learning (DL) and natural language processing (NLP) domains. This article proposes a Deer Hunting Optimization with Deep Belief Network Enabled Emotion Classification (DHODBN-EC) on English Twitter Data in this study. The presented DHODBN-EC model aims to examine the existence of distinct emotion classes in tweets. At the introductory level, the DHODBN-EC technique pre-processes the tweets at different levels. Besides, the word2vec feature extraction process is applied to generate the word embedding process. For emotion classification, the DHODBN-EC model utilizes the DBN model, which helps to determine distinct emotion class labels. Lastly, the DHO algorithm is leveraged for optimal hyperparameter adjustment of the DBN technique. An extensive range of experimental analyses can be executed to demonstrate the enhanced performance of the DHODBN-EC approach. A comprehensive comparison study exhibited the improvements of the DHODBN-EC model over other approaches with increased accuracy of 96.67%.
