Human Action Prediction Using Sentiment Analysis on Social Networks
There is a rapid increase of mass demonstrations in different locations worldwide triggered by social networks discussions, as witnessed in the USA, Egypt, and South Africa. This paper challenges the underutilization of social media to detect people's' mood and to predict their actions based on their sentiments. Recent published work has demonstrated utility of sentiments on Twitter to predict outcomes of different events, so to come up with the geographical action prediction tool the authors utilized geocodes, sentiment analysis, probability theory, and logistic regression. The tool informs relevant authorities like governments to know the state of people's moods. Entities like business enterprises also benefit from this tool in their plans, especially in avoiding unnecessary costs due to infrastructure destruction.
