Abstract

Abstract Sentiment analysis is one of the most well-known applications of natural language processing (NLP) techniques used to determine a text's sentiment or emotional tone, such as a sentence, a paragraph, or an entire document. The goal of sentiment analysis is to identify and extract the underlying sentiment expressed by the author, whether positive or negative. Social media platforms like Twitter, Facebook, and Google + are quickly gaining popularity due to the ability for users to share and express their opinions on many subjects, engage in conversation with different organizations, and broadcast messages globally. Sentiment analysis has been extensively studied to track and understand developer comments and views. Quantum software engineering develops software for quantum computers, which use quantum computing to process data. It has gained significant prominence in the field of software technology. Quantum computing may tackle issues that classical computers cannot, advancing cryptography, optimization, and material science. This study aims to explore the social media user review for quantum computing technology innovation in the current era. For this purpose, sentiment analysis applies to social media user reviews for quantum computing technology use. The extracted data is scrubbed through preprocessing techniques. TextBlob, VADER, and supervised learning classification methods have analyzed the sentiments and topics extracted from social media. Results show that quantum users are satisfied with using this soft computing technology and find this experience a successful, positive review for innovative quantum computing technology.

Sentiment Analysis of Twitter Data on Quantum Computing: An Exploratory Silver‐Label Baseline Study

Quantum software engineering is advancing rapidly in parallel with equally ambitious hardware roadmaps. However, systematic evidence on how online audiences perceive these advances remains scarce. We present an exploratory baseline of Twitter sentiment toward quantum computing, using automated (silver‐standard) labels for benchmarking. Six months of English‐language tweets containing the hashtag #Quantum (December 1, 2022 and May 31, 2023) were processed, with #Quantum treated as a proxy for online discourse on quantum computing. We then applied a transparent natural language processing (NLP) methodology combining two zero‐shot lexicon‐based tools (TextBlob and the Valence Aware Dictionary and sEntiment Reasoner [VADER]) with three lightweight supervised classifiers (multinomial naïve Bayes, Rocchio, and perceptron). Following standard preprocessing and a stratified 70/30 train–test split, we do not aim to measure definitive public opinion; rather, our primary contribution is to establish a transparent and reproducible baseline for future benchmarking. In this context, the multinomial naïve Bayes classifier attained a macro F1‐score of 0.88 on the 30% hold‐out set when benchmarked against the TextBlob silver labels. This score captures internal agreement rather than accuracy against human annotation. All five methods converged on a largely—though not universally—positive sentiment orientation (≈78%–81% of nonneutral tweets, depending on the tool). Grounded in the technology acceptance model (TAM) and the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT), we interpret our results as indicating the constructs of curiosity and perceived usefulness, rather than unequivocal adoption readiness. These constructs were not operationalized and serve only as interpretative lenses. By documenting every preprocessing step and model configuration, and making tweet identifiers and code available upon request, the study delivers a reproducible benchmark against which future work can (i) extend the query vocabulary, (ii) incorporate neutral and fine‐grained emotions, (iii) apply cross‐validation protocols, and (iv) evaluate advanced transformer models on manually annotated data. Addressing these four points is essential before making any definitive claims about public opinion.

A Comparison of Traditional Natural Language Processing Methods for Emotion Recognition Using Quantum Computing

Srirajarajeswari Thota, Sandeep Kumar Dash

Emotion Recognition plays an important role in recognizing human behavior. Human behavior may be represented in text, speech, and facial expressions. In traditional form, natural language processing known as NLP is used to extract features to evaluate emotions. With the evolution of Quantum Computing, Quantum Machine learning often called QML is one of the research areas used to evaluate emotions. This paper is designed to compare traditional ML models with QML models to analyze the sentiments and emotions of multimodal data. Here, NLP techniques are used for preprocessing. A hybrid model is built by combining NLP and QML. The preprocessed data are transmitted into quantum circuits for computation, and its results are compared with conventional machine learning models. This evaluation identifies QML as a promising future as it is useful for large and complex data sets with high dimensions. This study highlights the potential of QML in NLP and outlines the challenges such as encoding and hardware limitations.

A Quantum Computing based Approach for Sentiment Analysis in Bilateral Conversations

Níyazí Furkan Bar, Musa Yenilmez, Sedef Aksu +1 more

Sentiment analysis finds widespread applications in health, marketing, finance, stock markets, media, and politics. To analyze attitudes and emotions in textual data, handling large datasets and significant computational power is essential. Traditional computing methods struggle with the growing data volume, prompting interest in quantum computing as a promising alternative with its inherent high-speed processing capacity. This study focuses on sentiment analysis applied to texts derived from bilateral conversation dialogues. The primary objective is to categorize emotions within the text as positive, neutral, or negative, while concurrently identifying the speaker. To achieve this, a novel quantum-classical hybrid approach is proposed. The quantum side of this approach includes the variational quantum circuit (VQC). On the classical side, preprocessing of the data set, feature extraction with a model containing LSTM, and optimizing the parameters of VQC are performed. The proposed approach was trained and tested using a data set containing bilateral conversations. As a result of the tests, the proposed approach achieved a higher accuracy rate compared to studies using the classical approach. Thus, the effectiveness of the proposed approach is confirmed.
