About this Research Topic
Natural Language Processing (NLP) and linguistics can provide insights into the real-time public reaction to events, identified within human commentary, for example, the Beijing Winter Olympics 2022. In today’s world, the sheer volume of unstructured text data we generate on a daily basis makes Natural Language Processing (NLP) even more significant. Named entity recognition, sentiment analysis, machine translation, topic modeling, and text summarization are some of the most prevalent and prominent NLP approaches being used to interpret human discourses.
This Research Topic is interested in how applied linguistics and NLP were used to successfully implement the technology for communication, translation for multicultural and multilingual people, and commentary in the games and other mega-events. In addition, Beijing Olympics (BO) 2022 public sentiment analysis for social media impact and classification have been selected as key dimensions for coverage in this Research Topic. The purpose is to understand the response to events across the globe to determine cultural similarities and differences in sentiment and emotions. NLP and linguistic researchers can make a vital contribution by accessing information on a wide range of related topics, including COVID’s global and regional distribution and the socioeconomic impact of the event as well as the development of the games. The Research Topics' core purpose is to contribute to the current body of knowledge on how AI and applied linguistics might be used to produce and transmit disciplinary knowledge in real-time, an area of research that is underexplored. Interdisciplinary researchers working in these areas are encouraged to make contributions to this Research Topic and help to expand the body of research in linked areas.
In addition, like any other successful international event in recent times, the influx of huge technological advances has a major role to play. IoT and various other intelligent devices are synchronized to execute any international event. The same goes for Beijing Olympics. The employment of cameras and sensors, smart wearables monitoring equipment and television replays are some of the major instances of IoT at work in the Beijing Olympics. This Research Topic will also explore the significance of IoT technologies at major events.
• Machine Translation for communication and commentary at major events
• Internet of Things (IoT):
o The significant role of IoT during big events
o IoT Communication Protocols
• Big Data:
o For Building Language Models
o In News Media Discourse
o and Parsing (e.g. Eye tracking measures)
o and Technological Discourse
o Hadoop/ Spark and Flink / Cloud Computing for Discourse Analysis
o Sentiment analysis on language used on social media platforms (e.g. Twitter)
o Real-time public reaction (e.g. big sporting events such as the Beijing Olympics 2022)
