Emotion Detection in Twitter Social Media Using Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) and Fast Text

Emotion detection is important in various fields such as education, business, employee recruitment. In this study, emotions will be detected with text that comes from Twitter because social media makes users tend to express emotions through text posts. One of the social media that has the highest user growth rate in Indonesia is Twitter. This study will use the LSTM method because this method is proven to be better than previous studies. Word embedding fast text will also be used in this study to improve Word2Vec and GloVe that cannot handle the problem of out of vocabulary (OOV). This research produces the best accuracy for each word embedding as follows, Word2Vec produces an accuracy of 73,15%, GloVe produces an accuracy of 60,10%, fast text produces an accuracy of 73,15%. The conclusion in this study is the best accuracy was obtained by Word2Vec and fast text. The fast text has the advantage of handling the problem of out of vocabulary (OOV), but in this study, it cannot improve the accuracy of word 2vec. This study has not been able to produce very good accuracy. This is because of the data used. In future works, to get even better results, it is expected to apply other deep learning methods, such as CNN, BiLSTM, etc. It is hoped that more data will be used in future studies.
