Emerging Trends and Key Themes in Deep Learning Sentiment Analysis + A Bibliometric Analysis from 2014 to 2025
Keywords:
Deep Learning, Sentiment Analysis, Bibliometric Analysis , NLPAbstract
This study examines deep learning (DL) applications in sentiment analysis using Natural Language Processing (NLP) through a bibliometric analysis of 222 publications from Scopus databases, spanning 2024 to 2025. Key themes such as "sentiment analysis," "deep learning," and "Natural Language Processing" are analyzed, highlighting advancements across domains like healthcare, social media, and finance.
The research synthesizes progress in text classification and sentiment analysis, focusing on underrepresented languages and specific contexts. Techniques such as TCAODL-ANA, combining attention-based bidirectional gated recurrent units (ABiGRU) with the Aquila optimizer, excel in Arabic news article classification. Models like Arb-MCNN-Bi and reinforcement learning (RL) approaches enhance scalability and accuracy, preserving contextual nuances. Social media sentiment analysis benefits from ensemble methods and conditional GANs, while hybrid frameworks improve fake news detection and customer feedback assessment. Financial lexicons like XLex integrate transformer-based learning to balance interpretability and efficiency.
These findings underscore the integration of machine learning, deep learning, and hybrid methodologies in advancing NLP applications, offering significant insights for future research in e-commerce, finance, healthcare, and social discourse analysis within this dynamic field.
