Maximizing the Prediction Accuracy in Tweet Sentiment Extraction using Tensor Flow based Deep Neural Networks

Abstract

The amount of data generated by modern communication devices is enormous, reaching petabytes. The rate of data generation is also increasing at an unprecedented rate. Though modern technology supports storage in massive amounts, the industry is reluctant in retaining the data, which includes the following characteristics: redundancy in data, unformatted records with outdated information, data that misleads the prediction and data with no impact on the class prediction. Out of all of this data, social media plays a significant role in data generation. As compared to other data generators, the ratio at which the social media generates the data is comparatively higher. Industry and governments are both worried about the circulation of mischievous or malcontents, as they are extremely susceptible and are used by criminals. So it is high time to develop a model to classify the social media contents as fair and unfair. The developed model should have higher accuracy in predicting the class of contents. In this article, tensor flow based deep neural networks are deployed with a fixed Epoch count of 15, in order to attain 25% more accuracy over the other existing models. Activation methods like “Relu” and “Sigmoid”, which are specific for Tensor flow platforms support to attain the improved prediction accuracy.
