Abstract

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, nowadays people comment a lot in Twitter expressing emotions around this. It can be very difficult to analyze and obtain information from big amounts of unstructured data, the objective of this work is the processing of high volumes of these tweets and to get a temporal visual exploration analysis of emotions through an interactive visual analytic tool from Twitter Data of Covid-19. This useful tool could help to the specialists in Psychology to know more about the emotional profile of users and the tweets posted daywise. Further it helps to see the important words of the tweets through word cloud and a two-dimensional plane graph to see the word of each tweet with its VAD (valence, arousal and dominance) scores and emotions. First we preprocessed the data to delete the stopwords, then we used a RNN (Recurrent Neural Network) to get an emotion related to the tweet, then we calculate VAD scores and fill missing emotions, this data can be visualized across this tool on a timeline interactively.
