In this study an approach that uses social networking data for developing sentiment analysis system is proposed. With the help of developed software, it is tried to find out whether there is any relation between universities' academic success and sentiment of the public about them in social media. After collecting enough text based data from Twitter, preprocessing of data is carried out and final data is trained by means of Naive Bayes Classifier. After testing process, experimental results have shown that developed sentiment analysis system can classify the tweets about top 10 universities according to URAP rankings in terms of their sentiment with the 72.33% success rate, and proposed methodology can be used by universities for understanding sentiment of the public about them in social media.

Understanding consumer innovativeness via theory of goal directed behavior: an investigation of factors affecting adoption of online games Baybaş, Gülnur; Yılmaz, Cengiz; Department of Business Administration (2015) This study aims to analyze the factors behind adoption of online games, using a theoretical foundation based mostly on the theory of goal-directed behavior and diffusion of innovations model. Factors affecting the adoption behavior are determined on the basis of the goal directed behavior theory, and differences between adopter categories of online game buyers are investigated by applying Rogers’ diffusion of innovations (DOI) theory. Online survey was conducted to reach target group by using social media a...
Effect of Using Regression in Sentiment Analysis Onal, Itir; Ertuğrul, Ali Mert (2014-04-25) In this study, the effect of using regression on sentiment classification of Twitter data was analyzed. In other words, whether the strength of sentiment better discriminates the classes or not. Since our dataset includes class confidence scores rather than discrete class labels, regression analysis was employed on each class separately. Then, each tweet was assigned the class whose estimated confidence score is maximum among others after regression. The feature set used includes unigrams, POS tags, emotico...
Understanding cognitive presence in an online and blended community of inquiry: Assessing outcomes and processes for deep approaches to learning Akyol, Zehra; Garrison, D. Randy (2011-03-01) This paper focuses on deep and meaningful learning approaches and outcomes associated with online and blended communities of inquiry. Applying mixed methodology for the research design, the study used transcript analysis, learning outcomes, perceived learning, satisfaction, and interviews to assess learning processes and outcomes. The findings for learning processes and outcomes indicated that students in both online and blended courses were able to reach high levels of cognitive presence and learning outco...
National level landslide susceptibility assessment of Turkey utilizing public domain dataset Okalp, Kivanc; Akgün, Haluk (2016-05-01) Landslide studies have been integrated into geographic information systems with the help of technological developments using several methods like inventory, heuristic, statistic and deterministic methods in the recent years. However, since a nationwide landslide susceptibility zoning map has not been produced for the entire territory of Turkey, this study aims to produce a landslide susceptibility map of Turkey at a national scale by utilizing publicly available datasets. In order to develop a landslide sus...
Modern tools for the time-discrete dynamics and optimization of gene-environment networks DEFTERLİ, ÖZLEM; Fuegenschuh, Armin; Weber, Gerhard Wilhelm (Elsevier BV, 2011-12-01) In this study, we discuss the models of genetic regulatory systems, so-called gene-environment networks. The dynamics of such kind of systems are described by a class of time-continuous ordinary differential equations having a general form (E) over dot = M(E)E, where E is a vector of gene-expression levels and environmental factors and M(E) is the matrix having functional entries containing unknown parameters to be optimized. Accordingly, time-discrete versions of that model class are studied and improved b...
