With the analyzed hashtags, which were part of an initiative that has been present since 2014, stand out movements that have been related to the topic:
#metoo,#heforshe,#yesallwomen #timesup,#iwillgoout,#bringackourgirls, and the most recently #niunamenos, lead by México in March, also the organization "orange the world" stands out which is a campaign from UNESCO fighting violence against women.
Due to the ambiguity of Sentiment Analysis, especially in this subject where positive is not positive, in the subject where almost every keyword is negative, we did a further Topic Modeling Analysis, thus understanding not only the keywords but the probabilistic relationship between them.
Relevant topics of conversation
Through an analysis of NLP, using Topic Modeling, which is a text mining technique that provides methods for identifying co-occurring keywords.
It helps in discovering hidden topics in the document, annotate the documents with these topics, and organize a large amount of unstructured data.
We used the Latent Dirichlet Allocation probabilistic model, it worked by mapping each document in our corpus to a set of topics that covers a good deal of the words in the document. What LDA does in order to map the documents to a list of topics is assign topics to arrangements of words, e.g. n-grams, by building a topic per document model and words per topic model, modeled as Dirichlet distributions.
Main Topics :
-
Topic 1: Is related to topic three, because both are from the #WhyIleft movement, this topic is related to the International Women´s Day and the fight towards an abusive relationship and harassment.
