International Journal of Computer Applications Technology and Research · 2024
For centuries, ideology has been reflected in a person's expression.The expression points out the bias or support the person holds.Nowadays, expressions are well seen on social media in the form of text.X (Formerly Twitter) has become the favoured medium for these expressions.Nepal, a politically highly influenced country where political changes have been frequent in a short period, has people's thoughts expressed on social media.This paper presents a novel approach to finding a person's political inclination through their Nepali tweet using machine learning techniques.By leveraging data pre-processing and XGBoost, we achieve a promising accuracy of 73%.We also discuss potential avenues for further improving accuracy, such as expanding the dataset to include other social media platforms and enhancing data pre-processing techniques.
