演讲摘要:The COVID-19 pandemic has severely affected people's daily lives and caused tremendous economic losses worldwide. However, its influence on public opinions and people's mental health conditions has not received as much attention. In addition, the related literature in these fields has primarily relied on interviews or surveys, largely limited to small-scale observations. In contrast, the rise of social media provides an opportunity to study many aspects of a pandemic at scale and in real-time. Meanwhile, the recent advances in machine learning and data mining allow us to perform automated data processing and analysis. We will introduce several recent studies on 1) the use of controversial terms for COVID-19, 2) how college students respond differently than the general public to the pandemic, 3) depression trends throughout COVID-19, 4) consumer hoarding behaviors during the pandemic, 5) polarized public opinions on personal face mask usage, 6) attitudes towards work from home, and 7) nuanced public opinions on COVID-19 vaccines.
