COVID-19 Tweet Analysis using Hybrid Keyword Extraction Approach

Abstract

Aim of this paper is to identify the key issues discussed among the people on Twitter using machine learning and NLP techniques regarding COVID-19. One of the most important way to produce these insights is Automatic Keyword Extraction. It is a method to obtain the most important words from the text by summarizing thus providing an insight into the whole context. Text Summarization is the process to condense the content without the loss of significant data. This paper applies a hybrid model of graph-based and topic modeling approaches to extract keywords from a large dataset of approximately 1 million tweets.
