Topic: CORPUS BASED SENTIMENT CLASSIFICATION OF TAMIL MOVIE
TWEETS USING SYNTACTIC PATTERNS by Nadana Ravishankar1* , Shriram
Raghunathan2
Significance: The proliferation of Twitter has generated a source of extremely large data
and most of the information is publicly accessible to all users. Twitter users express their
opinions about a wide range of issues like movie, politics, technology, books, religion, food,
sports etc. Mining this volume of sentiments provides information for understanding
collective human behavior and it is of valuable commercial interest to a particular movie,
product or service. Most of the aspects shared by all these opinions are the subjectivity,
since the sentiments expressed by the users about a product or service is not biased.
Sentiment analysis of data collected from Twitter users can be able to extract the general
emotion of users in relation to a range of topics. These sentiments can be very useful for
companies to decide about their competitors and user feelings about their product and also

Topic: KNOWLEDGE GRAPH BONDING WITH THEMES AND CHARACTERS:
AN EDUCATIONAL DATA MINING STUDY by Zafar Ullah
Significance: The significance of KGs is manifold that they interconnect relevant key themes
from sources of huge texts. Furthermore, it is a new way of knowledge discovery without
programming skills. The distant reading technique of knowledge graph develops the bonding
between key themes and characters to discuss and interpret the text. In hermeneutics, different
layers of knowledge are interpreted by interconnecting different key themes. This time-
consuming, highly intellectual work and error-prone work has been done with the use of KGs
created by Links tool in Voyant suite. Moreover, human brains can ignore several nodes of
entity-relationship; however, the automated Links tool cannot leave any possible thematic link
from the text. Another view is that close reading of a text has its own literary pleasure, but
“digital natives” need automated digital tools to discover fast and authentic knowledge patterns.

Furthermore, NASA and Google also use KGs to elaborate their data and findings. This trend is
also very common to study medical repositories for instance PubMed has been studied with
AliBaba tool (Plake, Schiemann, Pankalla, Hakenberg, & Leser, 2006). Furthermore, industry and
academia have gotten extensive benefits from knowledge graphs. Libraries get ample advantage
to explore interrelationships between topics and themes from big data texts. Moreover, recently
web-based KGs have also been introduced to extract knowledge patterns from web data, so it
mines data at run time. This paper reports on the application and analysis of Links tool from
Voyant text mining suite which creates KGs from five selected biographical essays, therefore, it
focuses on the creation of KGs and then tests the ratio of accuracy and inaccuracy of KGs by
comparing them with source text information.

Topic: Unveiling Knowledge Patterns in Intermediate English Textbooks through Voyant Text Mining
Tools: A Digital Humanities Study by Zafar Ullah
Significance: Human beings evolve from the modern world to the postmodern and digital modern world, so textual big data
have scattered on countless websites, books and other sources, but it is a big challenge to extract useful knowledge patterns in the
shortest possible time. Thus, the academic challenges of digital natives have also changed, and Voyant like tools have become a
necessity to explore knowledge patterns from big data. Furthermore, many modern students lose interest in printed textbooks and resort
to digital content as Higher Education Commission has started to promote digital books and digital libraries. To address these
challenges, digital text mining tools have become a necessity to connect academia and digital advancements through text analytics/ text
mining.
As the newness of the current research is concerned, it is the introductory study in DH in Pakistan. In the world, some corpus-
based textbook analyses have been done, but a few research projects have applied digital tools for voyanting (the use of Voyant tools to
mine text, study, teach, conduct research) of English literature and ESL textbooks in the world. To fill this gap, this study has been
conducted.

Its significance is evident with its manifold academic contributions. Prime stakeholders of this research are students, teachers
and the publishing industry. More than 1 million intermediate students can become direct beneficiaries of this research by preparing
their subjective and objective papers. Moreover, automated, self-paced, digital and dynamic study concepts have been promoted with
the current research. Generating corpus summary, finding any key word, collocation pattern/ n-grams, knowledge graph and KWIC is
swift and easy. Learning syntactic patterns in KWIC can become fun; and learning visual vocabulary in the form of word clouds can
enhance learners’ interest and motivation. Finding context, searching answers to objective papers, playing with textbooks and learning
from digital contents are key advantages of text mining. Digital native teachers and students are better able to get numerous benefits
from these knowledge patterns and interactive visuals. To this end, they utilize this digital text in their classrooms as well as in their
homes. Students and teachers can employ self-made corpora in the classrooms as they are being used in top ranking universities of the
world. Consequently, a new wave of digital learning can be generated by the current study especially during pandemic circumstances.

Pedagogical implications of this study are significant; for instance, Summary tool quantifies stylistic features and corpus
features of any literary text. Cirrus tool presents key themes and characters which are used for previewing purposes of a book. Phrases
tool extracts collocations that are used for linguistic fluency. Links tool generates knowledge graphs to find the interrelationship of
various themes and characters to facilitate hermeneutics. Finding answers to objective papers and compiling material on one topic has
become convenient with Contexts tool.
NLP experts and software engineers have used different Python libraries to extract knowledge patterns and social scientists and
learners of humanities feel difficulty to use Python libraries, for instance, Pandas, Numly, WordCloud to generate word clouds/ Cirrus;
Python NLTK is used to search collocations/ n-grams, contexts and summary of corpus; and Pyplot library is used to generate
knowledge graphs. Voyant tools and this study are significant because a humanities background student or teacher can easily extract
various aforementioned knowledge patterns with the Voyant suite without any coding or programming skills since all codes are inbuilt
in Voyant tools.

Commercial significance in the publishing industry is that publishers would be able to generate countless standard helpful
material, exercises for publication of exercise books, sample objective papers, vocabulary lists and collocation/ n-grams or lexical
bundles. As interactive visuals enhance learning and memorization skills, the use of data visualization can be enhanced in printed and
digital textbooks which are gaining immense popularity. Thereupon, these interactive visuals can increase the readership, popularity
and sale of digital books. Above all, it will set new trends of studying textbooks with data visualization and interdisciplinary
approaches; therefore, the current study materialises the intellectual vision of polymath who is dexterous in multidisciplinary
Renaissance studies (Heydenreich, 2019).
