BRI is a Chinese multi-trillion-dollar global infrastructure initiative that has geopolitical implications for both the participating as well as non-participating countries. Some of the very appealing unique selling points of this initiative also make it controversial amongst its stakeholders. This variation in sentiments can be perceived in the media reporting where there is freedom of expression. In this paper, we have used sentiment analysis to gauge the variation in the stakeholder perception over time across three groups - China, participating and non-participating countries. Our analysis of 7,856 news articles has provided quantitative evidence of declining positive sentiment over time.","PeriodicalId":216885,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Big Data: Theory and Practice","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130785698","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Building on prior research conducted during December 2018 and January 2019 regarding the skills required for jobs in the big data field, the authors argue that business ethics must be an essential skill for those working in this field. Ethical frameworks in big data and information management are explored including Universalist, Integrative Social Contract Theory and Care Theory, as well as agency, disciplinary, contextual and outcomes considerations. The authors posit that traditional ethical frameworks such as Universalist approaches, are no longer sufficient to guide decision making in an era of digital transformation and the “datafication” of society. Therefore, business educators have a duty to cultivate critical thinking mindsets in their students and the adoption of “responsible innovation” principles, similar to those developed in the science and technology innovation literature. \u0000 \u0000 ","PeriodicalId":216885,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Big Data: Theory and Practice","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116140983","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By analyzing the emotions within these textual data, we can get an idea about how an individual or a community expresses their views. Analytical techniques are widely used for analyzing emotions within these texts. However, due to the imbalanced nature of the training datasets the supervised classifiers fail to clearly classify the different emotion classes. As a result, these classifiers demonstrate a poor performance in identifying emotions within the texts. Here, using a constructed heterogeneous training dataset from well-known training datasets we have trained two deep learning models namely the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), and Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) to address a four-class emotion (Anger, Sadness, Happy, Surprise) classification problem. By appropriately tuning the hyper parameters of the deep learning classifiers our study reveals that the CNN classifier has a slightly better performance (77%) than the RNN classifier (76%) for a four-class emotion classification problem.","PeriodicalId":216885,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Big Data: Theory and Practice","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121633362","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
