Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of public opinion risk identification technology, and in particular to a method and system for public opinion risk identification based on historical event similarity comparison. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of internet technology and social media applications, various types of online information are experiencing exponential growth. The more information and the greater the traffic, the higher the probability of public opinion risks. In recent years, public opinion crises related to food safety and healthcare have occurred frequently, amplifying irrational and distrustful sentiments in the public sphere and posing significant challenges to government governance and social stability. Against this backdrop, it is crucial to identify and address public opinion risks promptly and accurately, using appropriate technological means, before they escalate (the nascent stage) through specific technical means.

[0003] Referring to current academic and industry methods for identifying public opinion risks, existing technical solutions mainly involve building a public opinion monitoring system, constructing public opinion risk assessment indicators, and supplementing them with human experience-based judgment. This is primarily achieved through the following steps:

[0004] 1) Based on areas of public opinion focus, the public opinion monitoring system can conduct full-network monitoring by setting keywords, or targeted monitoring by locking onto major websites. Currently, there are relatively mature public opinion monitoring technologies and systems on the market, such as Sina Public Opinion Monitoring and Qingbo Public Opinion Monitoring System, which can achieve rapid and convenient early warning of sensitive information, such as real-time push notifications to mobile phones;

[0005] 2) Classify the risk level of discovered public opinion information into high, medium, and low risk using a public opinion risk assessment index system. Existing assessment index systems mainly include the nature of the event involved in the public opinion information, the role of opinion leaders, factors influencing the initial information release, and the public opinion evolution cycle. Specific technical methods mainly include the analytic hierarchy process (AHP), backpropagation (BP) neural network method, accelerated genetic algorithm, UML method, and factor clustering method.

[0006] 3) Based on the information content of monitoring and early warning, the level of public opinion risk, and other information, supplemented by human experience, make public opinion judgments and handling decisions.

[0007] Based on the above steps, it can be seen that existing public opinion risk identification technologies all analyze the actual risk situation of current public opinion events, which is a single perspective. When identifying and judging public opinion risk points, it is necessary to rely on human experience, which is inefficient. Moreover, the public opinion environment is complex and ever-changing. While personal experience can identify some explicit risks, it is not easy to discover potential or hidden public opinion risks in the first instance. Furthermore, the lack of key classification elements and analysis standards makes them of little reference value for public opinion decision-makers in handling public opinion.

[0045] It should also be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the term "connection" in this article can refer not only to a direct connection, but also to an indirect connection involving an intermediary.

[0046] In the following description, embodiments of the invention will be illustrated with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the drawings, the same reference numerals represent the same or similar parts, or the same or similar steps.

[0047] To address the shortcomings of existing public opinion risk identification technologies, such as a single analytical perspective, reliance on human experience, low identification efficiency, difficulty in timely detection of potential and hidden public opinion risks, and lack of key classification elements and analytical standards, resulting in low reference value, this invention provides a public opinion risk identification method based on historical event similarity comparison. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes the following steps S101 to S104:

[0048] Step S101: Determine the domain of the target public opinion event and construct a knowledge base of historical public opinion events in that domain.

[0049] Step S102: Use multi-dimensional public opinion analysis technology to analyze each historical public opinion event in the historical public opinion event knowledge base to obtain multi-dimensional analysis results.

[0050] Step S103: Use a feature similarity algorithm to compare the similarity between the target public opinion event and each historical public opinion event in the historical public opinion event knowledge base, and match the related events of the target public opinion event.

[0051] Step S104: Based on the multi-dimensional analysis results of related events, analyze the public opinion risk of the target public opinion event.

[0052] like Figure 2 The diagram shown is a flowchart of a public opinion risk identification method based on historical event similarity comparison.

[0053] In step S101, the domain of the target public opinion event (the public opinion event to be identified for risk) is determined, and a knowledge base of historical public opinion events in that domain is constructed.

[0054] In some embodiments, public opinion data in the domain of the target public opinion event is collected extensively. This data may originate from various channels such as social media, news websites, blogs, and forums, and may be in diverse formats, including text, images, and audio. The collected public opinion data is aggregated into a unified knowledge base and then cleaned and optimized to construct a historical public opinion event knowledge base for that domain. The preprocessing, including cleaning, of the public opinion data aims to remove noisy and duplicate data, standardize the content from different data sources, and prepare for subsequent analysis.

[0055] In some embodiments, the above method can be used to build a knowledge base of historical public opinion events in multiple fields in advance. After determining the field in which the target public opinion event is located, the knowledge base of historical public opinion events in the corresponding field can be directly called.

[0056] In step S102, multi-dimensional public opinion analysis technology is used to analyze each historical public opinion event in the historical public opinion event knowledge base to obtain multi-dimensional analysis results.

[0057] In some embodiments, five dimensions—the movements of the parties involved, the movements of key dissemination nodes, the focus of public opinion, the trends of positive and negative public opinion, and a sensitive word cloud—are incorporated into public opinion analysis technology. This data is then analyzed and presented for each historical public opinion event within a historical public opinion event knowledge base. Commonly used public opinion analysis techniques include natural language processing, sentiment analysis, and topic modeling.

[0058] Taking the movements of the parties involved as an example: The parties involved refer to key individuals, organizations, or institutions that are directly or indirectly involved in a public opinion event. These parties may include enterprises, government departments, celebrities, social media influencers, public figures, etc.

[0059] Analyzing the behavior of the parties involved helps us understand how they change during an event and how their statements or actions influence public sentiment and opinion. For example, a company's statement on an event might be negative or ambiguous, which could exacerbate public opinion; conversely, an organization's positive response could alleviate public pressure.

[0060] LDA topic modeling technology can be used to extract information about the subjects involved from the public opinion data of each historical public opinion event, and then sentiment analysis technology can be used to measure whether the subjects' opinions are positive or negative.

[0061] Taking the trend of positive and negative public opinion heat as an example: The trend of positive and negative public opinion heat refers to the fluctuation of public sentiment in a public opinion event, including the changing trend of positive emotions (such as support and praise) and negative emotions (such as anger and criticism).

[0062] Pre-trained deep learning models such as BERT and LSTM can be used to classify the sentiment data of each historical public opinion event into positive, negative, and neutral sentiments, and quantify the positive and negative sentiment indices at each moment. Based on the sentiment indices, a public opinion heat map can be drawn to track the development process of historical public opinion events, analyze the accumulation and spread of positive or negative sentiments, and thus obtain the trend of public opinion.

[0063] In some embodiments, after obtaining the multi-dimensional analysis results, the results are presented in a visual manner, such as time series graphs, network graphs, and word clouds. Time series graphs can show the changing trends of sentiment and public opinion heat, network graphs can show key dissemination nodes and dissemination paths, and word clouds can show sensitive words and public attention.

[0064] In step S103, a feature similarity algorithm is used to compare the similarity between the target public opinion event and each historical public opinion event in the historical public opinion event knowledge base, and to match the related events of the target public opinion event.

[0065] In some embodiments, the target public opinion event's attribute features are decomposed to construct a feature vector, such as text features (e.g., keywords, topic words, sentiment polarity, etc.), social dissemination features (e.g., number of comments, number of reposts, dissemination speed, etc.), and temporal features (e.g., occurrence time, duration, etc.). The K-nearest neighbor algorithm is used to compare the feature vector of the target public opinion event with the feature vectors of each historical public opinion event in the historical public opinion event knowledge base, calculating the Euclidean distance between them to obtain the similarity result. The similarity calculation method can not only calculate Euclidean distance but also cosine similarity, Manhattan distance, etc. The similarity results are sorted from high to low, and the historical public opinion event with the highest similarity result is selected as the associated event of the target public opinion event.

[0066] In step S104, based on the multi-dimensional analysis results of step S102, key information of related events (historical public opinion events with the highest similarity to the target public opinion event) is obtained. By analyzing the key information of related events, the public opinion risks that the target public opinion event may face are predicted, such as the spread trend of the target public opinion event, public reaction, and possible positive and negative public opinion risks, so as to discover possible risk points in advance and take intervention measures or formulate response strategies in advance.

[0067] Corresponding to the public opinion risk identification method based on historical event similarity comparison, the present invention also provides a public opinion risk identification system based on historical event similarity comparison, the system comprising:

[0068] The data processing module is used to determine the domain of the target public opinion event, construct a knowledge base of historical public opinion events in that domain, and use multi-dimensional public opinion analysis technology to analyze each historical public opinion event in the knowledge base to obtain multi-dimensional analysis results.

[0069] The feature comparison module is used to compare the similarity between the target public opinion event and each historical public opinion event in the historical public opinion event knowledge base using a feature similarity algorithm, and to match the related events of the target public opinion event.

[0070] The risk analysis module is used to analyze the public opinion risks of a target public opinion event based on the multi-dimensional analysis results of related events.
