Abstract

In the age of remarkable technological innovations such as AI, quantum computing, IoT, and blockchain, one could argue that the world is becoming an increasingly connected, advanced, enlightened, and peaceful place. Nevertheless, paradoxically, conflicts and wars are still born deeply rooted in complex strategic, historical, and economic dynamics, and continue to arise finding a direct representation in both physical and digital battlefields through powerful and dynamic environments like social media. This environment enabled unprecedented connectivity and ideas, thoughts, ideologies, and experiences exchange shaping the narrative, amplifying ideas, feelings, and experiences while directly addressing the underlying causes, dynamics, and implications of conflicts and war through a multifaceted and multi-nuanced approach. The outbreak and ongoing war in Ukraine took the international community off guard representing a significant turning point in the contemporary era that received immediately intensive global attention, united global humanitarian, and strategic efforts to support and help the ones in need, and reflected its geopolitical and economic global complexities, dynamics, and implications. At the same time, a high degree of disinformation and misinformation exists surrounding different aspects about this war e.g., actions taken, and impact produced on civilians, which contributes to creating an altered perspective of reality. While different conventional media and social media outlets together with research, governmental, and practitioner efforts revealed and reflected on the nature, major incidents, and their known impact on civilians and civilian objects as well as military personnel and military objects, yet limited attention and a lower voice is given through dedicated studies to thoughts and emotions of Ukrainian users in unconventional social media platforms like Telegram. This represents the knowledge gap tackled in this research by building a set of Machine Learning-based solutions for analysing the discourses and sentiments of Ukrainian users using the Design Science Research methodology in a Data Science research approach. From this analysis, reflection is provided to important days and incidents experienced by Ukrainian population since February 2022 in the first year of war.  
基于一年战争内容分析的乌克兰人的想法和感受
在人工智能、量子计算、物联网和区块链等卓越技术创新的时代,人们可以说,世界正变得越来越互联、先进、开明与和平。然而,矛盾的是,冲突和战争仍深深植根于复杂的战略、历史和经济动态之中,并继续通过社交媒体等强大而动态的环境,在物理和数字战场上找到直接的表现形式。这种环境带来了前所未有的连通性,以及观念、思想、意识形态和经验的交流,塑造了叙事,放大了观念、情感和经验,同时通过多方面和多平衡的方法直接解决冲突和战争的根本原因、动态和影响。乌克兰战争的爆发和持续让国际社会猝不及防,它是当代的一个重要转折点,立即引起了全球的广泛关注,全球人道主义和战略努力联合起来,支持和帮助那些需要帮助的人,并反映了全球地缘政治和经济的复杂性、动态和影响。与此同时,围绕这场战争的各个方面,如采取的行动、对平民造成的影响等,存在着大量的虚假信息和错误信息,导致人们对现实的看法发生了改变。虽然不同的传统媒体和社交媒体渠道以及研究、政府和从业人员的努力揭示和反映了战争的性质、重大事件及其对平民和民用物体以及军事人员和军事物体的已知影响,但通过专门研究对乌克兰用户在 Telegram 等非常规社交媒体平台上的想法和情绪的关注有限,且声音较小。本研究通过数据科学研究方法中的设计科学研究方法,建立了一套基于机器学习的解决方案,用于分析乌克兰用户的言论和情感,从而填补了这一知识空白。通过分析,我们可以对乌克兰人民自 2022 年 2 月战争元年以来经历的重要日子和事件进行反思。
