Decoding Concerns: Multi-label Classification of Vaccine Sentiments in Social Media
In the realm of public health, vaccination stands as the cornerstone for mitigating disease risks and controlling their proliferation. The recent COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted how vaccines play a crucial role in keeping us safe. However the situation involves a mix of perspectives, with skepticism towards vaccines prevailing for various reasons such as political dynamics, apprehensions about side effects, and more. The paper addresses the challenge of comprehensively understanding and categorizing these diverse concerns expressed in the context of vaccination. Our focus is on developing a robust multi-label classifier capable of assigning specific concern labels to tweets based on the articulated apprehensions towards vaccines. To achieve this, we delve into the application of a diverse set of advanced natural language processing techniques and machine learning algorithms including transformer models like BERT, state of the art GPT 3.5, Classifier Chains & traditional methods like SVM, Random Forest, Naive Bayes. We see that the cutting-edge large language model outperforms all other methods in this context.
