Abstract

The comparative study investigates cyber security attitudes and behaviour across time using data gathered from social networking platforms such as Reddit and Twitter. Due to the continuously advancing technology in the modern world, enormous amounts of data are produced every second. The chosen field of study seeks to determine the opinions of people on social media posts. The dataset for the proposed work was a multi-source dataset from the comment or post section of various social networking sites like Twitter, Reddit, etc. Natural Language Processing Techniques were incorporated to perform sentiment analysis on the obtained dataset. The proposed work provides a comparative analysis using various techniques namely ML, DL, and lexicon-based. Naive Bayes Classifier was used as a Machine Learning algorithm, TextBlob is used as the Lexicon-based approach, and the deep-learning algorithm used is BiLSTM. It was observed that BiLSTM model outperforms the other two models with an F1-score of 0.895, accuracy of 0.896, precision of 0.899, and recall of 0.891.
