Exploring difference in public perceptions on HPV vaccine between gender groups from Twitter using deep learning

6 Jul 2019  ·  Jingcheng Du, Chongliang Luo, Qiang Wei, Yong Chen, Cui Tao ·

In this study, we proposed a convolutional neural network model for gender prediction using English Twitter text as input. Ensemble of proposed model achieved an accuracy at 0.8237 on gender prediction and compared favorably with the state-of-the-art performance in a recent author profiling task. We further leveraged the trained models to predict the gender labels from an HPV vaccine related corpus and identified gender difference in public perceptions regarding HPV vaccine. The findings are largely consistent with previous survey-based studies.
