Social identity information retrieval system (SIIRS) : final report / by Brian Riordan. : D68-3/135-2014E-PDF
Development of the SIIRS system focused on the specific problem of detecting and classifying sociostructural beliefs from Social Identity Theory -- beliefs about the legitimacy, stability, and permeability of social groups and their status. A dataset of social media comments centering on the issue of income inequality was collected and analyzed, and a system was built to classify implicit author beliefs on the legitimacy of class-based income disparity. Because of the heavily implicit nature of sociostructural belief expression, the detection problem was formulated as a form of text classification. The SIIRS system achieved classification accuracies competitive with results from similar tasks in social media analysis, demonstrating the feasibility of the approach.
