This
investigation proved that the technique of the Sentimental Analysis can be a
new method of the evaluation for the various social issues in the near future.
There also were two main themes other than Sentimental Analysis in this paper.
One is the media influence on the public opinions. The other one is the
people's reactions towards the Syrian refugee crisis that has been discussed in
the western world ever since it happened. As for the media impact on the
people's emotion, the result that the media coverage does not affect the public
opinion so much was so surprising because the media has long been seen as the
most influential information source.
So many
possible reasons can be assumed for this public aversions to the big media. For
one thing, these days ordinary people tend to take what they think is good and
leave what they think is bad when it comes to choosing information sources.
Social
networking tools like Twitter and Facebook in which people can exchange their
opinions freely without any hesitations, the increase floods of unreliable and
provocative mini media and the distrust of the major news companies' honesty
have created the current strange social emotions. Inexplicable events like the
realization of Brexit or the Trump's winning for the Presidential election show
a glimpse of the upcoming new era where the exact future foresee becomes much
more difficult than it used to be. Though people nowadays are willing to
aggressively collect the information they are interested in, those actions
might lead them to a heavy concentration on the extremely biased opinion. What
is more, it is liable to raise the ancient populism which brought us many
conflicts in the past generations. "If you tell a lie big enough and keep
repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it (Dietrich, 2016)"
The famous proverb of Joseph Goebbels who was an ill-famed propagator of Nazi
somehow tells us that complicated entanglement of information might be
beneficial to the demagogues who want the society to be in chaos.
The
target of the warning is not limited to our humans. The other day, Microsoft
released an artificial intelligence chatterbot called "Tay". It used
Twitter to learn various knowledge from interaction with other users. However,
within few hours from its start, it became a vicious racist due to the
malicious interference from others (“Microsoft”, 2016). This incident
suggested that the AI system has many flaws in it. On the other hand, it is
quite certain that the machine learning techniques will make great progress
within next few decades. For example, the Sentimental Analysis will absorb
similar fields' methods like "voice sentimental recognition",
"facial expression analysis", "psychological sentimental
analysis" and things like that. Then the new sentimental analysis method
which might be called "Integrated Sentimental Analysis" will be
established in the near future. "Integrated Sentimental Analysis" can
be used for software like Apple's Siri to analyze humans' feelings more
accurately or it will be important technology for androids' humanization. It
seems that the day when the machines can dream of Electric Sheep may not far
away from now.
