VISUALIZING CONFLICTS IN ONLINE MESSAGES
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for visualizing social media conflict, the method comprising:
- collecting, by a computer, textual messages by a set of human users connected via a network regarding a particular topic;
selecting, by the computer, active users in the set of human users authoring a number of textual messages regarding the particular topic more than a threshold number of textual messages;
selecting, by the computer, keywords that occur more than a threshold number of times within the textual messages regarding the particular topic;
computing, by the computer, a sentiment score for each of the keywords occurring more than the threshold number of times within the textual messages using a keyword co-occurrence graph; and
determining, by the computer, a sentiment of each of the active users based on the computed sentiment score of each of the selected keywords that are authored by a particular active user.

Abstract
Visualizing social media conflict is provided. Textual messages by a set of human users connected via a network regarding a particular topic are collected. Active users in the set of human users authoring a number of textual messages regarding the particular topic more than a threshold number of textual messages are selected. Keywords are selected that occur more than a threshold number of times within the textual messages regarding the particular topic. A sentiment score is computed for each of the keywords occurring more than the threshold number of times within the textual messages using a keyword co-occurrence graph. A sentiment of each of the active users is determined based on the computed sentiment score of each of the selected keywords that are authored by a particular active user.
