For example, nuclear power plants might have excellent stability and minimal waste, but will not be easily adopted if the public opposes them. Public opinion of an engineered system can have a strong impact on its success, thus motivating the need to understand how a system is perceived. Traditionally, public opinion about technologies, such as vaccines, nuclear power, nanotechnology, firearms, etc., have…

Assessing Vaccination Sentiments with Online Social Media: Implications for Infectious Disease Dynamics and Control
TLDR
This work uses publicly available data from 101,853 users of online social media collected over a time period of almost six months to measure the spatio-temporal sentiment towards a new vaccine and finds that most communities are dominated by either positive or negative sentiments towards the novel vaccine.

TLDR
New adoptees appear to be predisposed to form anti-vaccination attitudes via similar government distrust and general paranoia, but are more social and less certain than their long-term counterparts.

Social Media Analyses for Social Measurement.
TLDR
Estimates are likely to align to differing degrees depending on the research topic and the populations under consideration, the particular features of the surveys and social media sites involved, and the analytic techniques for extracting opinions and experiences from social media.
Visualizing Social Media Sentiment in Disaster Scenarios
TLDR
A novel visual analytics framework for sentiment visualization of geo-located Twitter data is proposed that provides an entropy-based metric to model sentiment contained in social media data and is further integrated into a visualization framework to explore the uncertainty of public opinion.
Classifying Political Orientation on Twitter: It's Not Easy!
TLDR
Standard techniques for inferring political orientation show that methods which previously reported greater than 90% inference accuracy, actually achieve barely 65% accuracy on normal users, and show that classifiers cannot be used to classify users outside the narrow range of political orientation on which they were trained.
